  • CRLF

    From Carlos Navarro@2:341/234.1 to All on Sun Mar 13 09:55:38 2022
    It seems that OpenXP inserts CRLF (#13#10) at the end of every line in the body text of packed messages, including kludges.

    In FTS-4000 (http://ftsc.org/docs/fts-4000.001) we can read:
    ============
    The <LF> and soft <CR> characters (character codes 10 and 141
    respectively) should not be used within a control pragraph.
    ============

    For better compatibility with all FTN software, I suggest that OpenXP is changed so that it strips LF characters (#10) and leaves only CR (#13) when it generates PKTs - if not in all the body text, at least in the kludge lines.

    Hello Marc!

    Martin, it's really disappointing that a developer of
    FidoNet Point software takes no part in the Echo or
    doesn't have an Echo dedicated to his software. IMO, this
    doesn't speak highly of that software's continuing
    development. :( Hopefully I'm wrong.

    Fido's XPOINT echo serves to bridge communications to Gunter
    with the newsgroup. OpenXP supports nntp, and that's what
    Gunter seems to prefer using.


    I remember many years ago, Harvey Parisien who developed
    PPoint, not only participated here, but I believe was one
    of the "founders" of the POINTS Echo with a full Node as
    well as a Point until he retired from FidoNet years later.
    I still contact him from time-to-time to chat. I took over
    moderatorship of the echo when he retired - and that's
    been YEARS ago.

    Harvey.. is he the fellow who built some fax program for OS/2?
