   I guess the term "porting to Win32" means just a compile, and no consideration   
   to adjust for CR+LF in the output files that the program itself would   
   produce.  :(   Even the help-text files in cm071win32 are pure unix style.  A   
   better package build should have included a run through unix2dos or similar.   
      
   What happened to quality control in fidonet!  Sheesh
