You’ll be warned if your text doesn’t fit the message area or if the subject line is too long.
The program strips all gremlin characters (over Ascii value 129) from text source file and replaces european diacrictical chars (à, è, ì, ò and ù) with two chars (a’, e’, i’, o’, u’).
NewsRoom searches the user name written in «Send to:» field in USERLOG, and properly set “waiting mail” flag.
NewsRoom works very well on TOPS networks, remember to publish destination volume (with Red Ryder Host’s files) before launching NewsRoom.
Use the program only with System 6.0.X.
Please write to us your comments. We can’t reach from Italy GEnie round table, and so we don’t know which utilities are currently available for RedRyderHost.
