LG>> 97 DTIV: Wizard & Glass...can't wait to read it.... Reading it...t`is excellent! :) LG> This one is -different- also....

Yep,but the first part of the book is very important.I couldn`t beleive it when Captain Tripps resurfaced....whoa! ;) LG> Based on what I've read, so far, I'd be inclined to recommend to LG> the new reader of The Dark Tower series, that they read the middle LG> part of _Wizard and Glass_ after The Gunslinger, but before The LG> Waste Lands. It could put a whole new perspective on how one reads LG> The Waste Lands! Hmm..not sure i`d agree...although to be fair, i haven`t read The Waste Lands for a good few years now so your probably right. -- /\/eil. orange@enterprise.net ICQ-4246406 Talking Heads-Orange -- --- Bonzo 1.3.0.0 #0008 * Origin: (2:250/366.22) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 282 STEPHEN KING Ref: EFY00000 Date: 11/28/97 From: STEWY Time: 08:39am \/To: LAWRENCE GARVIN (Read 3 times) Subj: Re: New Dark Tower book Hi ya Lawrence:-) -=> Quoting Lawrence Garvin to Stewy <=- S> See Lawrence, I'm not the only one that was confused...

I have designed ANZI, a 2129 byte (not k or meg) tool that replaces all the rarely used foreign letters and junk with a set of diagonal and curved blocks and lines. This allows really neat effects on ANSI menus, works with 40 or so of the most popular termcomms, and gets rid of the infamous 'jaggely' diagonals on ANSI menus and art. I have seen some hosts that allow ANSI in the msg base, and for a BBS user, this is a *real* treat, allowing more than just the ass to risk to enhance email. If the host in question has that, they will also be able to do a lot more than just smileys & )@( ~~~ Since this depends on the IBM hi-ascii, I don't see the inet msg base with it. Will this work with any offline mail readers? The DCPC BBS that I am trying to put up is for support for my 12 volt desktop computer customers, and for this remote rural area. Out here, 500 bucks is a big chunk of change. Lots of my rural neighbors sacrifice income for ambience. To that end, anything that I can do to enhance the utility of bleeding edge hardware is going to be appreciated. For rural users, offline is a must; in most cases, it cost gonzo bring the *first* line in, and to tie that up all day with inet surfing won't fly. So, I look for the fastest interface, and if ANZI can doll it up so much the better. Would it be possible to compile a newuser.qwk that contained, the last 75 messages in selected echos so that they can get up to speed without d/ling 500 megs without a twit filter?.. and have the newuser.qwk ready for immediate d/l to save LD$? --- * OFFLINE 1.58 * I'm so far out, I got my own zipcode: 72679-0009 --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 282 STEPHEN KING Ref: EG300000 Date: 12/01/97 From: STEWY Time: 09:46am \/To: SUZZE TIERNAN (Read 3 times) Subj: Re: Desperation Hi ya Suzze:-) -=> Quoting Suzze Tiernan to Stewy <=- Sorry I've taken so long to write back; been feeling a bit under the eather; this past weekend(had a week full of migraines) ST> That is just what happened to me with "The Stand".
