2.5 Known Bugs and Non-Features
This sections lists some shortcomings of the current release
MsgEd TE 6.3. Please do not complain to me about these
problems, I am well aware of the problems and will try to solve them in the
future to the best of my possibility. (If, on the other hand, you want to fix
these problems on your own, go ahead and send me the changes you made. They
will be greatly appreciated.).
- The documentation is lacking a chapter that provides the beginner with a
quick overview on how to use MsgEd TE
- Version 7 nodelist lookup is not always working correctly (if two sysops
accidentally have the same name, it simply yields by random the nodenumber of
the one or the other, but does not let you select between the two of them)
and is lacking a lot of features. It is suggested that as long as things are
like that, you instruct your nodelist compiler to generate a
FIDOUSER.LST listing file. See The
UserList
Keyword, for more information.
- The Windows NT version does not allow entry of special characters by ASCII
code using the Alt-numeric keypad - Method. Also, under Windows
95, you must use AltGr to create special characters.
Ctrl+Alt will not work.
- On non Intel hardware, the routines for Fido and Hudson message bases as well
as the routines for importing fastecho.cfg will not work properly.
