Scripsit Anne-Marie Mineur [Ace]: [Jack doet 't met FoXoF, neenerneener, rubber, glue, bounces off, sticks2you] Ace: Me too!! He... een _bug_! Ace: (Waar kon je dat programmaatje ook al weer halen? X? J$? Phrake?) Bedoel je mijn perverse inews strain? Zie onder, al heb ik voor groter gemak ook nog '-aol', '-hng' en '-jive'-switches toegevoegd. Combineerbaar. Ooit wil ik nog een '-truus' en een '-studly' maken, maar eerste experimenten wijzen uit dat er niets te maken valt dat ook maar in de buurt van het ontzagwekkende origineel komt; terwijl het toch zo eenvoudig lijkt. -- J$ piping to 'inews -h -J$ -geekierthanthou' -- Changes in inews version 666.13 =============================== This is mainly a bugfix release. The one user visible change is that the handling of signature files has altered. For many years inews has truncated the signature at 4 lines. Since the net became fashionable and the latest `W4Y C00L' thing to do, the massive influx of clueless dorks has stretched this restriction to breaking point. The author of inews has got fed up with endless email from naive users complaining about the 4 line limit and has decided to stop trying to piss into the wind. Now the default action is to expand signature files <= 4 lines in length using a random selection from an online file of cow jokes and bad ascii art. Use of the -K option will append Kibo's signature. This option can be repeated, in which case Kibo's signature will be appended multiple times, randomly quoted, followed by one line saying "Me too!" to get a good approximation to being a subscriber of AOL. The previous behavior of truncating to 4 lines can be obtained by using the -McQ option.
