 VIS Message Format Changes

Hello All.

Once again, The Vatican Information Service (VIS) has made a change to the
format that their daily e-mailed bulletin is transmitted in:  The Windows
style text is now being transmitted with line lengths in excess of 256
(sometimes as long as 512) characters.  To be able to deal with this and still
be able to process the text into FidoNet format I have had to employ some more
"file trickery" to enable the text editors to handle it.  It *should* be
completely transparent to you, however if you do happen to see any anomalies
or any transposed lines, please let me know via either NetMail or e-mail, but
not in the Vatican echo.

Thanks for participating in FidoNet!

Best regards,
Marc Lewis
