I've taken a biut of       crap for my "ancient non-standard message quoting".              I found that I can manipulate it a bit with the prompt file. I know       what WCCODE file does the quoting, as good as you are with WCCODE you       could probably have it doing initial caps in no time flat :-)               > AP> Plus if you quote a fidonet message on the web interface it        > AP> quotes all the hidden kludge lines.

I wish he would give the wildcat world a       gift and release at least Platinum express to open source.              Allen       --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5        * Origin: LiveWireBBS.com -=* Happy Holidays !! *=- Deus Te Ama (1:2320/100)    |
