Although it's OK to change this to        MF> something else, DO NOT LEAVE THIS FIELD EMPTY. If this field is empty,        MF> you may encounter problems when polling your BossNode! ---------- 8<        MF> ----------               MF> All uppercase words are in bold/red.              That is excellent. Maybe put "may" in bold and red too.               So.. the 5D spec doesn't care what text goes there? Can it be "this cannot be       empty" ?              The warning is most certainly critical. I can see new user cleaning out that       field and never suspect why a connection never succeeds.                     ../|ug              --- WinPoint Beta 5 (359.1)        * Origin: Reluctantly Revisiting Fidonet (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 15/2 123/1970 203/0 221/1 6 360 226/17 229/107 354 426 1014       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 292/789 854 8125 317/3       SEEN-BY: 322/757 335/364 342/200 393/68       PATH: 221/1 292/854 229/426           |
