| | There was a bug that if the news file had an initial blank line the whole file would be omitted. Check that isn't the case. It definitely can be made to work. |

| Oh yes, I forgot about that. What good editor programs are out there for win32, that I can see where the CRs are?
I finally got @readcache to see one of the files but soon after it locked up.
Is there any plans to create a editor or perhaps a program that will convert text files for Pennmush to read for win32?

You have a few options here.
First, I wrote a program, freely available, called Unix2Dos, which converts Unix text files to DOS ones, which you can then edit with any Windows editor.
This is at ftp://ftp.gammon.com.au/pennmush/unix2dos.zip
Second, having done that conversion (which is just a command-line program, so you could open a "command" window and just type: unix2dos *.nws ) you could edit the files with a normal text editor, for example, Notepad.
Third, other editors abound, many of which will convert Unix files as well. I use UltraEdit, which you can get from http://www.ultraedit.com
