I'd be delighted!!! We (my wife and I) were on Gerard's beta team and managed 
to break it several times--we'll be pleased to try again!!

ac> Note 1.12 is a "refreshed" version of timEd 1.10.

ac> Version 7 nodelist lookup support has been removed from version 1.12
ac> due to licensing issues, but otherwise the program is
ac> fully-functional.

ac> After many years, a 32-bit Windows NT version of timEd is now
ac> available.

ac> Also, many Y2K bugs have been fixed since the 1.10 release.

ac> The new version may be downloaded from here:

ac> DOS version:        http://dl.ozzmosis.com/timed/tim112.zip
ac> Windows NT version: http://dl.ozzmosis.com/timed/tim112n.zip OS/2
ac> version:       http://dl.ozzmosis.com/timed/tim112p.zip DOS/386
ac> version:    http://dl.ozzmosis.com/timed/tim112x.zip

ac> The source code to this release is available on GitHub:

ac> timEd change log
ac> ================

ac> 1.12
ac> ----

ac> * Version 1.12 released. This is considered a "refresh" release
ac> built   using OpenWatcom 1.9 and aside from the removal of V7
ac> nodelist lookup   functionality (see below) should be
ac> feature-identical to the 1.10 version.

ac>   This version is built from a different code branch from the UNIX
ac> version,   1.11.

ac>   It is intended the branches will be merged in a future release,
ac> adding new   features from the UNIX version, and JAM and Hudson
ac> support to the UNIX   version.

ac> * Numerous Y2K bugs were fixed in the source code, with thanks to
ac> Wilfried   Brinkmann and Tobias Ernst for their initial work with
ac> patching the timEd   binaries back in 1999 (ARTFIX07.ZIP).

ac> * Windows NT port. Gerard van Essen began porting timEd to Windows
ac> NT in   1996 but the code was abandoned and incomplete. In 2018 the
ac> Windows NT   port was finally completed by Andrew Clarke and is
ac> considered to be   quite stable and usable.

ac> * Fixes to prevent crashes when screen width is greater than 132
ac> columns.

ac> * timED did not add additional '>'s to quoted messages. Fixed,
ac> thanks to   Meikel Brandmeyer.

ac> * Added %mmon variable for HELLO, REPHELLO, FOLLOWHELLO strings. It
ac> expands   to a two-digit month with a leading zero digit (ie.
ac> 01-12).

ac> * V7 nodelist lookup is currently disabled.

ac>   The V7 lookup functions requires the Mix C Database Toolchest, a
ac> commercial library which cannot be distributed as open source.

ac>   It is still possible to do nodelist lookups on FidoUser or
ac> FrontDoor   format nodelists.

ac>   Any reference to V7 nodelists in TIMED.DOC is currently erroneous
ac> and   should be ignored.

ac>   It is hoped to reintroduced this functionality in a later version.

ac> * timEd is now permanently "registered", and will declare itself
ac> registered   with the name specified in TIMED.CFG.

ac> * timEd's version number and build timestamp can now be viewed by
ac> running   timEd with the -v parameter:

ac>   TIMED.EXE -v
