PE> Ordinary users CANNOT, because EOT has an x'01', which you
 PE> cannot enter as a normal user.

  I entered the #1 just like that, alt-1 on the keyboard. Where does
it say in an FTS spec (including your FTS-0505) that I am not allowed
to enter #1 in text? You're doing it with SOT/EOT. Why not me too?

  FTS-1 (or ypour own FTS-0501) does not ban the use of #1. How can
it when it's so easy to type it in? It only says that a line beginning
with #1 will be a control line with a unique keyword.

 BL> message, and those with SOT/EOT reraders won't see anything
 BL> past it. Paul's reader will sayu: "O yes! That's the end of
 BL> text," and truncate the message. 

 PE> So what? That's your problem of your software not following the
 PE> specs? Completely your problem.

  But *my* software does follow the specs. The problem is at the other
end... *your* end.

Regards,
Bob
