NmFwd Readme First
Whatsnew
If you are using an older version of NmFwd, please
read WhatsNew.Txt before using this version.
Since the '-' is a legal character for file names, NmFwd does
NOT consider it as the start of a FILES.BBS comment (as Maximus
does). Please, do not use the dash character '-' in the first
column of files.bbs !
Problems are reported with Golded when it is invoked after
NmFwd's robots have deleted the executed messages. It seems that
Golded does not like the killing of the last message in a Squish
base. To avoid this kind of problems, please use the
"MarkReceived" statement.

Support ECHO
I am originating an international support echo for all my
programs. If you are interested, please ask your echo feeder to
find a suitable link for the APWORKS area, originated on
2:332/504@fidonet. In addition, I regularly read the
international OS2BBS echo.
TIC distribution
All my BBS related programs are distributed via a TIC file area.
If you want to join, please ask your file feeder to find a
suitable link for the APBBS (OS/2) and/or APBBSDOS (Dos) area.
Where to look for support areas
If your echo/file feeder does not carry APWORKS, you can ask for
information about where to find a suitable link to:
Alberto Pasquale 2:332/504 (Modena, Italy)
Roland Schiradin 2:2454/169 (Eltville, Germany)
Harald Kamm 2:2490/3045 (Bamberg, Germany)

Bug Reports
If you find out a real bug, I will do my best to fix it and make
the new version available in a few days. To do that, I need your
cooperation: when you find a strange behaviour, double check
your configuration and the manual to be really sure it's not
your fault, then study the conditions in which the bug appears
and, in the end, send me your detailed report about the bug
together with your config file and all the stuff necessary to
replicate the problem. I can fix a bug only if I am enabled to
reproduce it !
