Do you know any of       them personally? Maybe someone       who uses a Commodore or a ZX       Spectrum?       This is how our msgs would       appear formatted to fit a       Speccy screen. :-)                     --- GoldED+/W64-MSVC 1.1.5        * Origin: & (2:5023/24.4222)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 10/0 1 15/0 90/1 102/401 103/1 705 105/81 106/201 123/131       SEEN-BY: 129/305 153/7715 154/10 214/22 218/0 1 215 601 700 720 840       SEEN-BY: 218/850 860 870 880 930 221/1 6 226/30 227/114 229/110 112       SEEN-BY: 229/113 206 307 317 426 428 470 664 700 240/1120 250/25 266/512       SEEN-BY: 282/1038 291/111 301/1 113 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45       SEEN-BY: 450/1024 460/58 463/68 467/888 712/848 5000/111 5001/100       SEEN-BY: 5005/49 5015/42 46 255 5019/40 5020/400 570 715 830 846 1042       SEEN-BY: 5020/4441 5022/2 5023/12 24 5030/49 5034/13 5053/51 5054/8       SEEN-BY: 5058/104 5061/15 133 5075/35 128 5080/102 5083/1 444 5090/958       SEEN-BY: 6035/3       PATH: 5023/24 5020/715 1042 301/1 218/700 229/426           |
