- At least, you can suppress the Path:-line by using PATHTYPE No in .arnrc

- No, the ACTIVEFILE has to be sorted!!! That is emphasized in the README"
- I don't know why people don't read the README files...:-)
- The idea that arnmaster could check the ACTIVFILE for sorted order is not bad.

- Because the key-mappings have changed! They are now more consistent, so
- you can post in all level with "E" (like "enter a new message").

- Ooops, please use the V1.00 manual with the V1.00 Arn and not the beta docs
- with V1.00!! As I said, the key mappings have changed. Please read the
- V1.00 README and the CHANGES file. That'll help all little.
-
- Please have a little patience with some bugs in Arn (like with SCREENDATA),
- I could fix them only after 10. January. Please mail all bugs to
- bugs@spirits.ka.sub.org. Note that some weird problems may be introduced by the
- new compiler...
