Fello CP/Mers:
Please forgive the following post to Paul Martin, the author of CRR, but
I can't get his "pm.nowster@tharr.uucp" address to work from this site.
Hi, Paul.
First, let me congratulate you for a first-rate product. I was
pleasantly surprised to discover that CRR worked right
"out-of-the-box", so-to-speak, the **first** time! Believe me, I
intend to register it with you as soon as I get some spare cash (kinda
cash-starve at the moment). I have one **very** small bug report and a
sugestion.
When I bring up CRR and give it a date that is a Saturday (e.g.,
25-Jan-1992), the 3-letter abbreviation for the day on the opening
screen is "Mon" rather than "Sat". Other days appear to work
correctly.
Also, when replying to a message, after the editor is exited, the
"Area" heading is spoken twice (am blind and use a speech synthesizer).
Don't know if this shows up in print; suspect not.
Now for the suggestion: It would be nice to have a separate utility to
convert from QWK packets to XRS packets that could be run on virgin
floppies (without having to have CRR & friends on the floppy to which
XRS packets are to be written). Please do not take the built-in
converter (i.e., the .CHN file) out of CRR; I'm just advocating an
additional utility
Anyway, thanks for a fine product.
