I'm looking for a way to keep my text files (like README.TXT) tidy and
easy to read. One problem is that if I modify a plain text file in a

Hi Eric
This is a really interesting effort and I think it would be good to
find a way to get Willi's efforts integrated somehow into the
changelog for the monthly test releases. But as you've mentioned,
there's a lot of overlap here. I think the right place to start is to

Hi everyone!
For anyone who needs more info: libmpi is a Multiple Precision Integer
library, and libm is a C math library. Both are public domain. You can
find both on the FreeDOS Files Archive at Ibiblio, under
/files/devel/libs/libm and /files/devel/libs/libmpi. Thanks Gregory!

Excellent news! I'll post an item on the website about it.
I can't login to Ibiblio from where I'm at right now, so I can't
mirror it - maybe someone else with Ibiblio access can do that for me.
