Because you say so?

Hardly an argument given given that for more than a decade nobody cared. Maybe thats a message from reality?

MvdV> Also note the "must not" in the first line of that paragraph.

FTSC standards are meant to be revised. Many things have never been adpoted. Get used to it.

I woud like to point out that in sharp contrast to Michiels statements, I spent hundreds of hours during the last years to give WinPoint the most complete and robust charset support of any point packet I know. So claiming that WP completely ignores FTS-5003 is maliciously false. I am not sure, if Michiel is that unedicated or just a bad person that loves defamation.

Why the heck is he so interested in keeping people who actually work on Fidonet software away from the FTSC?

Tim
