Ärende: BWave.
==============
-> BlueWave OLR has an exceptionally well thought out user
-> interface that is close to intuitive after a short time using
-> it. When Y2K took it out I regretted having to discontinue it's
-> use. 

-> Meanwhile some heated discussions I had had with WMcBride about
-> porting his MultiMail to 16bit DOS paid off. MM did get an 'XT'
-> version after a vociferous refusal to even discuss it with me
-> and I used MM for a time. 

Well you're both coders so the heated debate is no surprise.
Had the battery pack in the Model 100 not leaked and wiped
out the portable I'd have a use for the 8086 MM.

BTW William McBrine made a change for me too but it was 
a simple request quickly included in the next release.

Tired of writing long replys only to see them vanish when being too
impatient in loading a packet I often hit enter twice and the default
setting had been bye bye .rep.

Not the default is for the reply to stay until you TELL it to go bye.
Likely this pisses off someone somewhere but I prefer it that way. 

I also brought a bug to his attention and that vaporized
in the next release.

-> I was bored and looking for a 'project' when I came across ATP
-> v1.50 source code written in 'C'. After modifying the code to
-> compile with my older Borland C compiler I dug into the code
-> and made approximately 40 alterations completely replacing
-> _some_ routines and adding new routines as I went along. ATP
-> looks like you are on a BBS using their message system and for
-> nostalgia reasons I enjoy that plus ATP is very fast here. I
-> added a routine to search my tagline database which I don't
-> recall ever finding in another OLR. Anyhow I like it. :-) 

Yeah gotta pick up a copy of ATP when I get a drive.    
Linux is my OS of choice now.

-> WC> I looked it over as shareware then rather than buy it got
-> WC> SLMR21A 

-> Paying for BlueWave is a bit of a farce. I suspect the author
-> is dead (he lived 40-45 miles from me). No one has seen or
-> heard from him in a long long time and the guy collecting the
-> 'registration fees' lied when he said he sends the money to
-> George. He has no way of contacting George that he can prove. 

well ain 't that a load of...

-> WC> and from there migrated to MultiMail which can use the
-> WC> notepad replacement with spellcheck. 

-> WC> We all have our preferences. 

-> MultiMail is quite good and always improving because WMcB keeps
-> at it and just won't quit. :-) 

Which I'm grateful for,
For me MM was intuitive.

Of course I like VI and even have or had a copy for DOS
setup in the 486, tiny little critter that is.

Now for me edlin you can keep away from me.
