I'm not aware of any of       them using makenl to generate segments. They are very small segments so they       are easally maintained with a text editor.               BF> If you're interested, I can take it upon me to maintain the Amiga        BF> version of MakeNl.              I'll forward it to AmigaNet, but I don't think there will be much interest.               BF> If not, why don't you simply close down your precious @amiganet? ;)              Because we are not using MakeNL on the Amiga, we should close down AmigaNet?       Strange suggestion! ;)              Bye, Wilfred.                     --- FMail-W32-1.69.1.95-B20140716        * Origin: Native IPv6 connectable node (2:280/464)    |
