X-Hacker.org- Reference Manual for GoldED 2.51 - Norton Guide http://www.X-Hacker.org [<<Previous Entry] [^^Up^^] [Next Entry>>] [Menu] [About The Guide]

     If set to YES, GoldED will  replace NUL chars with LF chars  in the
     msg body when reading a Fido *.MSG file. This is slower of  course,
     but not noticably on fast machines.

     This option was  created to enable  GoldED users to  read msgs that
     were created/handled  by brain-dead  programs (I  don't have names,
     sorry)  which  are  not  obeying  our  primary  technical standard:
     FTS-0001. FTS-1  states that  a NUL  terminates the  msg body.  But
     sometimes msgs are encountered which  have a NUL as the  first char
     in the msg body or perhaps in other places, thereby causing  GoldED
     to show a blank or cut-off msg. In some Pascal-based readers,  such
     as FM, these msgs can be read anyway, because in Pascal a NUL  does
     not terminate a string like in C/C++.

     NOTE: Even if the new FIDONULLFIX keyword is disabled, GoldED  will
     still fix a  NUL if it  is the _first_  character in the  msg body.
     This probably fixes most of  these buggy msgs without the  overhead
     of checking the entire msg.
