The following message has been sent to Irv Hoff:

Irv,

       I have read your message on the Detroit system.  Let
me offer a TRUCE proposition:

1.  When you said that you were going to give me a little fix
to include in MDM728, I recall that you referred to a request
from Sigi that you couldn't locate at the moment and that you
were going to send me another message and tell me what it was.
So, when I got the other message (which requested the LOGLP1
change), I assumed that was  referring to.
Sorry that I mis-understood.

2. Yes, you are quit didn't test the change that
deleted the CR,LF's.  Now that you p CR,LF ++"
at SHOWERR, I agree that I was wrong and hereby apolog be relabelled to
NORETRY and
that as the overlays get upgraded wcessary that
they get fixed also.  In the meantime, a note such a should suffice.

4.  After you look at the fix at LOGLP that I h
and tested it to your satisfaction, I suggest that it be include ring-back
no longer works
for PMMI although I agree that this onrtant but
there ARE still plenty of people with PMMI's and only ose even if they
are not an
RCPM.

6.  No disagreement on the timieturning to CP/M.

7.  With respect to other systems using compatks or as direct dial-ups, please
understand that one of the tremethis program is
that it remain compatible with them and operable iligence should be maintained
to guarantee that it remains that wer, currently
investigating a problem report on downloading from e.)

I believe that you have provided the community with a very vrt on multiple
overlays to
allow a great number of systems to useanding.
I also have been involved for about the past four and a hdding new and improved
capabilities.  I kept the system from getttaying
that way many times long before you got involved.  Many other interested/capable
parties also.

Yes, Ron Fowler's work, inchim, may become the next standard for a bunch
of purposes, but inne that I have had for a
long time  - i.e, to keep the program uss possible and
from being broken.  It hasn't been easy.
