Hi, All! ========= IMPORTANT ANNOUCEMENT =========> Finally, PostIt! 6.0 will be posted. I won't repeat the new features, but they can be found in PostIt!'s header. It is =ESSENTIAL= that you capture the next 16 messages. From this now on, PostIt!'s scripts will not be able to be decoded by QuickBASIC alone. It will require PostIt! 6.0 to extract the file. The new format is so much more compact -- primarily due to the removal of the decoder. It was pretty wasteful to post the decoder again and again, with every binary file. That's why it has been incorporated into PostIt! 6.0. You may wonder why this release is 16 messages long. That may sound like much, but it isn't! The line length has been shortened to =65= and page length to =85=. All that contribute to more line wrapping, thus increasing the number of posts. The 'real' file size of PostIt! 6.0 is only 1K bigger than 5.1. Why '65'? To make sure all people will recieve PostIt! without things being truncated. I really hope the complete PostIt! package reaches everybody reading this echo. I am excited to post my latest additions, so here it is..... Victor ...
