Hello All.

Once again, The Vatican Information Service (VIS) has made a change to the
format that their daily e-mailed bulletin is transmitted in:  The Windows style
text is now being transmitted with line lengths in excess of 256 (sometimes as
long as 512) characters.  To be able to deal with this and still be able to
process the text into FidoNet format I have had to employ some more "file
trickery" to enable the text editors to handle it.  It *should* be completely
transparent to you, however if you do happen to see any anomalies or any
transposed lines, please let me know via either NetMail or e-mail, but not in
the Vatican echo.

Thanks for participating in FidoNet!

Best regards,
Marc Lewis
