Subj : test To : Carlos Navarro From : Gleb Hlebov Date : Thu Dec 07 2023 09:39:10 Hello Carlos, Carlos Navarro <2:341/234.1> vs. Anton Shepelev: AS>> Right, but there is no such discrepancy in BBS, Usenet, or AS>> e-mail. Have you a been a long time in Fidonet, has it AS>> always (or at least since 1995) used soft-wrapped text? CN> I started as a point in 1992. I mostly used FrontDoor's editor (FM) CN> and timEd. Both support(ed) long lines and wrapped text. I believe the idea of long lines (i.e. one paragraph = one line) has always been there since the advent of IBM PC and MS-DOS and so BBS tech (and, later in 1984, Fidonet) inherited it for its text-processing needs. BBSes first appeared even before that, in late 1970s, and run on CP/M systems (CP/M technically was a predecessor of DOS). However Usenet/e-mail/internet-related stuff originated in Unix world and *nix system standards and/or Usenet policy could be different. I'm not sure why AS keeps referring to "BBS and Usenet" in this regard. :-) -- WBR, Gleb --- GoldED+/W64-MSVC 1.1.5 * Origin: Type to continue (2:5023/24.4222) .
