Msg: Re: Border padding is now supported in vDos-lfn

By "Sprint", I take it you are not referring to the cell phone service company . . . .

Wordstar goes back to the dawn of the PC. (Does it even predate Xy ? Perhaps.)

If old word processors are getting some trace of a second wind, courtesy of vDos, don't forget about Textra. That was probably the next best word processor I ever tried, after XyWrite.

> Hi all,
> Per request by Robert J. Sawyer, I have further enhanced the border padding feature to add the ability to specify a color setting for it in the latest vDos-lfn build (build 2016.09.02). Now the PADDING directive (initially named BORDER) accepts an optional second argument which is the padding color (0-15, default is 0 or black). For example:
> PADDING = 50,1

For those who don't recognize the name, Robert J. Sawyer
is a WordStar enthusiast and author of science fiction
novels.

Yes VDos--LFN is reviving many old softwares usages.

I expect Sprint to "come back" too.
