Hi andrew -- on Feb 21 2018 at 12:38, you wrote:

ac> Existing users of timEd 1.10 may want to migrate to 1.12.

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> https://github.com/zoomosis/artware


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
