Hello Robert,

On Tuesday July 14 2020 19:02, you wrote to me:

I know that is how he presents himself...

Which is exactly where we were when Peter Stewart left for greener pastures two
decades ago. Peter claimed he was working on a Windows version and we were
shown some screenshots to wet our appetites. But it was never released.
Vapourware was how we called it. I see that the situation has not changed in
20+ years...

 RW> And yes, he is a Fido node, too.

And an NC, but so far he has been unresponsive regarding an erroneous ,IBM flag
in his segment...

See the fucked up quoting above?

Not my responsibility. As a sysop, YOU are responsible for the crap you inject
into the network. If you use broken software it is YOUR responsibility to get
it fixed or stop using it.

BTW, I have not forgotten about that mailbomb...


Cheers, Michiel
