- Actually, Paul, that Edit thing often sticks TAB (icck! koff! gahg!) char's
- (or, more accurately, it doesn't provide a way of stripping them out for you)
- in stuff - I've since switched to using the Turbo Pascal text editor,
- because it allows a ton of files open and on-screen at the same time, and
- the block-n-copy stuff is more powerful, etc... and we can turn OFF the
- tab characters!

- ***** We're now up to 16 in WORKING.NEW, the cumulative collection of
- cool copy; I'm awaiting confirmation of five more, and just received
- another new article today -- stuff's starting to happen; if all goes
- well, we could have our third article archive done in a few weeks!
-
- This WORKING.NEW is available on the FTP vela.acs.oakland.edu in the
- /pub/galactic-guide sub-directory. BTW, these new articles will be posted
- here when we get a chance (wow, it's actually *nice* being bombarded with
- articles!).
-
- PS> TG! for DOS 1.1 is *not* ready yet, for reasons stated above (too busy
- editing the influx of articles (which I don't mind! :^> ), and TGW! is still
- a long way from being ready...
