    From Sean Dennis@1:18/200 to All on Tuesday, March 08, 2022 20:57:39
    Hello All,

    I am not sure why the last page was split into three pages but I don't think it matters that much.

    For people using DOS-based software with a <16K message size limit, please let me know if this works.

    If anyone is interested in the script, let me know and I can post it in here.

    Didnt really work for me.

    For every page, I got a message header, followed by a blank line then a "Pause" (as if the screen was full). After pressing a key, the header cleared and I got the page. Very different to how messages are normally presented.

    Thought you might like to know.

    That's really odd. There's no other control codes or such in that text.

    Yes, thank you. I will keep working on that script.

    I'd thought I'd mention, that this weeks FG presented nicely. You fixed it :)

    The only oddity was page 18 was a mere 2 lines (and the last 2 lines related to page 17) - I guess there was a page break after it and that's way page 19 started with a new chapter.

    No, there was no page break. If you look at the hatched FG (the unaltered one), you'll see there is no page break in there and it's a solid page. Something is triggering csplit to break pages and I have to figure out what it is.

    I'll work on it this week though this week is already slipping through my hands. The next three weeks I am going to be very busy away from the ol' console.
