Re: [Freedos-user] Retire from sending monthly reminder message

[Jim Hall]

Hi everyone

Based on the comments from this thread, we won't have any monthly
reminder messages anymore.

We will always have the list rules linked on the website (see
https://www.freedos.org/forums/). I will also add a version of the
"reminder" message to the automated emails for anyone who joins the
email lists.

Creating a FD-PRINTER out of DISPLAY would not be hard.
The problem is that I don't have printer-specific language codes for
changing codepage that we would embed on a "printer-like CPI file". Such a
program would be the body of such a "CPI" file, and MODE would just let
PRINTER handle it.
