G'day Keith,

Replying to a message of Keith Richardson to Jeff Green on 16-06-96:

 KR>> amnspeedia (n) the (undertandable) inability to remember anything
 KR>> that he as ever                               said.

 KR>> speederbate (v) wank ones self blind with the aid of a keyboard.

 KR>> speedland   (n) the happiest kingdom of all - anything can be true
 KR>> just because                 you said it.

 JG>> Are you using hard carriage returns? What's quoted above is the way
 JG>> it arrived here.

 KR> there was an attempt at formatting, maybe i am using wider lines than
 KR> you. what looks ok in a windows memo box may not, i suppose be, ok on
 KR> a dos reader. normally my text just wraps with a cr at the end of a
 KR> paragraph.

The only time it will display like that is if each line of the message is
ending in a hard carriage return. Otherwise the Fido readers that I use
(FleetStreet [OS/2 PM] and Msged [OS/2 Command line]) line wrap the
messages so that they look normal.

All other messages I've seen from you were okay. You didn't happen have a
UAE or GPF when you wrote that message did you?

Regards...Jeff (jeff{at}grntrs.dialix.oz.au)
