    AA> But QWK's 25 char limit in the subject s cutting off my beautifully   
    AA> thought out subjects! LOL   
      
    AA> And yours seems to even cut them down further to about 20 chars. :(   
      
    AA> Your subject line for something like:   
    AA> FidoGazette Vol 13 no 17 Page: 7   
    AA> FidoGazette Vol 13 no 17 Page: 6   
    AA> FidoGazette Vol 13 no 17 Page: 5   
      
    AA> ..would look all the same in your lists:   
    AA> FidoGazette Vol 13 no 17   
      
    AA> I dunno how you can accept that! :/   
      
    AA> The "future" of longer subject line awaits you!   
      
    The Bluewave standard accepts long titles and much more useful   
    information than QWK and QWKE. It is a pity that the developers   
    insist on poor QWK or a little better QWKE instead of adopting a   
    much higher standard like Bluewave.   
      
       
    AA>> .. I had a little trouble    
    AA>> getting the setup.exe to cooperate. "not a wn32 program" error. Bad    
    AA>> archive? Maybe the archive is listed somewhere else to try?

    AA> Indeed. I was attempting to try in on my XP. No go. :( No   
    AA> "future" for 16bit.   
      
    With the advancement of emulators, 16bits will never die. :-)
