Re: Pending BIRD 9.0 (cleaned up)

     
     Will, et al,
     
     Besides cleaning up any screwy line returns, I've made all of the
     formatting as consistent as possible, used consistent date format, put
     in the appropriate phrase under the approved-date heading, and fixed
     any grievous grammar/spelling errors found. To verify that no tabs or
     non-spaced indentations exist, and to ensure no lines exceed 80
     columns, I edit the BIRDs in Word for Windows using a nonproportional
     font, with all hidden codes enabled. I then save it as an ASCII file
     and recheck it in Norton Notepad (ASCII editor).

          Derrick, et al,
     
          For some bizarre reason, our mail program, cc:Mail, chooses
          to add carriage returns and dashes and generally mangles
          files. I always go through and clean them up before posting
          to the reflector. When it comes back from vhdl.org, the
          program does it again. I have assumed that it only happened
          to incoming mail and have dealt with it that way. I suspect
          this is happening to Derrick, too, since he is on the same
          mail program.
     
          But I may be wrong-- is the corruption happening on the way
          out, too, or are we at Intel just being penalized on
          incoming mail. In other words, did you, Derrick, clean up
          Bird 9 because of these extraneous incoming additions,
          courtesy of Lotus' cc:Mail, or did the mail get mangled
          going out? Did other members of the forum receive an
          un-mangled version from me, or did some lines look like the
          following:
     
 ***************************************************************
 - **
     
          etc., etc.?
     
          I did notice that the word "pending" was put in the filed of
          when accepted. Good change.
     
          Will
