    Ergo, the printer related code are still there. If anyone feels like
    it, feel free to produce a modern MAKENEWS.EXE file, and I'll be happy
    to not only use it, but just like Frank Vest two decades ago, partly
    thanks to my hack, pass on the baton to the next Fidonews editor.

    Probably time for a ground up rewrite. A newer version could be
    ported to
    multiple platforms. DOS is not exactly the best one to use nowadays.

    I've now been the editor for much longer than all of the previous
    Fidonews editors in total, so I think it's about time to contemplate my
    retirement...

    A well deserved retirement, by the sounds of it. :)

    Hear, hear. A big round of applause for a job well done over all this time.
