Multiple drafts were rejected for reasons the author didn't agree with (e.g. draft spec had to be submitted by splitting the text among multiple echomail messages, per stone-age FTSC submission requirements). So he gave up the effort and the FTSC discarded a rare high-quality technical contribution. Or at least, that's my recollection. https://nix.synchro.net/msgs/msg.ssjs?msg_sub=fidoftscpub&message=7380 --- SBBSecho 3.12-Linux * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)
