[comp.unix.xenix] version 7.42 of XBBS

sandy@conexch.UUCP (Sandford Zelkovitz) (05/15/89)

Version 7.42 of XBBS is now available for downloading. This version has a
complete rewrite of the blocking/formatting algortihm used to block/format
text. It now seems to be compatible with the major Word Processing software
available commercially.
 
Since I now have the majority of the subroutines available to write a REAL
word processor, expect to see, in the near future, a public domain 
word processor from me.

From what location?  Is it available anywhere through anonymous ftp?  I surely
wouldn't want to make a long-distance call to download a program of any
considerable size.

Oh, and more importantly: What, exactly, is it?  What machine(s) does it
run on?  What features does it sport?

Where can I find these details?  Were they posted here already, did I miss
them?
