   ac> Existing users of timEd 1.10 may want to migrate to 1.12.   
      
   I'd be delighted!!! We (my wife and I) were on Gerard's beta team and managed   
   to break it several times--we'll be pleased to try again!!   
      
   ac> Note 1.12 is a "refreshed" version of timEd 1.10.   
      
   ac> Version 7 nodelist lookup support has been removed from version 1.12   
   ac> due to licensing issues, but otherwise the program is   
   ac> fully-functional.   
      
   ac> After many years, a 32-bit Windows NT version of timEd is now   
   ac> available.   
      
   ac> Also, many Y2K bugs have been fixed since the 1.10 release.   
      
   ac> The new version may be downloaded from here:   
      
   ac> DOS version:        http://dl.ozzmosis.com/timed/tim112.zip   
   ac> Windows NT version: http://dl.ozzmosis.com/timed/tim112n.zip OS/2   
   ac> version:       http://dl.ozzmosis.com/timed/tim112p.zip DOS/386   
   ac> version:    http://dl.ozzmosis.com/timed/tim112x.zip   
      
   ac> The source code to this release is available on GitHub:

   ac> timEd change log   
   ac> ================   
      
   ac> 1.12   
   ac> ----   
      
   ac> * Version 1.12 released. This is considered a "refresh" release   
   ac> built   using OpenWatcom 1.9 and aside from the removal of V7   
   ac> nodelist lookup   functionality (see below) should be   
   ac> feature-identical to the 1.10 version.   
      
   ac>   This version is built from a different code branch from the UNIX   
   ac> version,   1.11.   
      
   ac>   It is intended the branches will be merged in a future release,   
   ac> adding new   features from the UNIX version, and JAM and Hudson   
   ac> support to the UNIX   version.   
      
   ac> * Numerous Y2K bugs were fixed in the source code, with thanks to   
   ac> Wilfried   Brinkmann and Tobias Ernst for their initial work with   
   ac> patching the timEd   binaries back in 1999 (ARTFIX07.ZIP).   
      
   ac> * Windows NT port. Gerard van Essen began porting timEd to Windows   
   ac> NT in   1996 but the code was abandoned and incomplete. In 2018 the   
   ac> Windows NT   port was finally completed by Andrew Clarke and is   
   ac> considered to be   quite stable and usable.   
      
   ac> * Fixes to prevent crashes when screen width is greater than 132   
   ac> columns.   
      
   ac> * timED did not add additional '>'s to quoted messages. Fixed,   
   ac> thanks to   Meikel Brandmeyer.   
      
   ac> * Added %mmon variable for HELLO, REPHELLO, FOLLOWHELLO strings. It   
   ac> expands   to a two-digit month with a leading zero digit (ie.   
   ac> 01-12).   
      
   ac> * V7 nodelist lookup is currently disabled.   
      
   ac>   The V7 lookup functions requires the Mix C Database Toolchest, a   
   ac> commercial library which cannot be distributed as open source.   
      
   ac>   It is still possible to do nodelist lookups on FidoUser or   
   ac> FrontDoor   format nodelists.   
      
   ac>   Any reference to V7 nodelists in TIMED.DOC is currently erroneous   
   ac> and   should be ignored.   
      
   ac>   It is hoped to reintroduced this functionality in a later version.   
      
   ac> * timEd is now permanently "registered", and will declare itself   
   ac> registered   with the name specified in TIMED.CFG.   
      
   ac> * timEd's version number and build timestamp can now be viewed by   
   ac> running   timEd with the -v parameter:   
      
   ac>   TIMED.EXE -v
