Oops. I misread the date in my haste. It is indeed 4 years

Never-the-less, it works just fine and does amazing things and
I have no intention of 'upgrading'.

The list of changes can be seen here:

Shovey ***, isn't he? Like all technocrats.


Quite an interesting document as it stretches a long way back.

For the third time: Slrn 0.9.8.1 [2004-10-07] works just great.
I'll never master all the things it can do.

I'm not interested in 'upgrading' and I'm not even looking at
the list.

You remind me of all the technocrats who keep pushing
KidDiE on us: Oh look! Look at all the bells and whistles
and colors and everything! Wow! Doesn't it make things so
EASY? You can run linux without even understanding it.

Just like Windows.

I'll pass.

Now, if you'll tell me how to strip unicode support from slrn,
I'll be grateful. I don't speak any other languages and see no
point in wasting diskspace and RAM and CPU time in order to
display characters from those languages.
