Thank you for trying AmiQWK II.
Sorry this version took longer to get out than I expected. writing the
new documentation took much longer than I expected, and other things kept
me from spending as much time on AmiQWK as I had wanted to. However I have
added two of the most requested features, ANSI display and re-editing of
new messages, and I have re-written the documentation and fixed some
internal links to the AmigaGuide docs. Hopefully it will have been worth
the wait.
The new documentation is written in Texinfo, the GNU documentation
format. Writing documentation in Texinfo allows the creation of ASCII,
hypertext, and typeset documentation all from the same source document.
Therefore for the first time AmiQWK comes with ASCII and TeX .DVI format
documentation. Also the AmigaGuide documentation has been greatly
improved.
I have a new Internet address, Jim_Dawson@hguild.com. Please
discontinue using my old address (thg2!jimdawson@sycom.mi.org) as I no
longer get mail from that site. Unlike the old address, the new address
should be accessible from any usenet/internet site in the world. If
possible, use this address instead of my Portal address, as I only call
Portal about once or twice a week.
I have also added Fidonet to the support BBS, so I can provide
technical support and registration keys via fidonet netmail. At this time
I do not carry any fidonet echoes (except for the ST:TNG echo, and I don't
think they would like any AmiQWK discussions there.) but I may add some
additional echoes sometime in the future. Note that I may have to change
my fidonet address sometime in the future due to a question of which 'net'
I am supposed to be in. If you cannot send mail to 1:2290/42.0, look for
The Hackers Guild II BBS in net 1:11/*.0.

Remember, The future development of AmiQWK depends on how much response
there is, so if you use AmiQWK please remember to register it to encourage
me to continue development. If you don't want to register yet but have a
bug report or suggestion, please feel free to send it to me. However
suggestions and bug reports from registerd users will have higher priority.
Enjoy,
Jim.
