- Yes, SE.DOC really does the trick - this is a point which bothered me
- too.
-
- But two things to raise:
-
- 1. The file is called NBGENRAL.ZIP and not GENERAL.ZIP, at TAU.
-
- 2. Tony - may I have a word in your shell-like etc? In [First line]
- a para. marker occurs; this has the effect of making 4 lines, not 3.
- It is located, I think, after the entry for ascii 169. I deleted this
- para. marker, and it still seems to be loadable ok in default.set, as
- you suggest. Of course, this has the effect of reducing the matter to
- three lines. It appears that the number of lines must be critical, for
- you include the line SE 3 even in the version for incorporation in
- default.set. The deletion does not seem to mean that a para marker is
- not treated as a separator.
-
- I've got something wrong somewhere in this, I'm sure; can you clarify?
-
- It's kinda summer here. Sometimes, after a fashion, and several times
- a day. After 27 years I'm still not used to walking around in gumboots
- and sunglasses. How the blackbirds endure it amazes me.... They're
- such lovely singers, though they're quiet now. But my apple-crop! Ye
- Gods, there are those who have a problem with income tax, or Faculty
- Board meetings, or midgey windscreens.... the weather has been pretty
- warm, and the combination of sun and rain has been exactly right to
- create an overload crisis. Anybody got a pgm for zipping Bramleys???!
