will you kill the other room entitled gun room? it's annoying to have 2.
Spur
That's cool.. Not what I expected (less informative, more opinionated, longer) but cool nonetheless.

roya1.txt: Here's my paper...Feel free to make all the suggestions you want
Roya
Ok...everyone....I just uploaded an article I made...It's in ruff draft form...so make any suggestions you want...Thanx!
James T Kirk
There's actually only one room, it's just that this programme likes to show it to you in 2 diffrent places. I tryedto get rid of it.
Shane
try harder. good job roya. I'll read it.
Pasha Naini
How do we read text files?
Pasha Naini
Type .LT and then the filename....And then for a list it should be .LD
Roya
I tried to shorten it as much as possible...The definition took up lots, so I used only the first part... Does it sound opinionated? I was trying to go for informative, but i guess opinion is good too...
Spur
No, I meant that I expected less fact, and more opinion... You hit the mark on informative.
Roya
Oh, Ok....Well....then, my article was longer than that, but Pasha kept telling my to shorten it up, cause it probably won't be able to fit....How big of a newspaper is the going to be anyway?
James T Kirk
You can use L to list the Directory, And .LT to list a text file. And of course, it's .DZ to download Zmodem.
James T Kirk
That News.arj is a good desktop publisher thing. it's called NewsMaster. I'll make up some sort of example page and see if any of you like it next meeting.
Zied
was it just me, or was that artical all messed up, I mean here's a sample of what I saw,
nment created in a differ entstructure than that of a democracy. The two of thes, pretty weird.

Comments: wow
Shane
oops.
James T Kirk
Oh, did you look at Roya2.txt? That's the one i screwed with in NerdPerfact. Roya1.txt is the ASCII one. I've got the other one in a coloum.
Shane
WOW. looks like columns to me... yep.
James T Kirk
And i saved it in Nerd Perfact format.............Nut, we need more articals.
Shane
I know... and don't call me nut.
Pasha Naini
Hey, somebody tell Scorpion to get over here and download these! What good are these articles doing here if all they do is collect dust?
Pasha Naini
is neat in WP too? If you guys want I can get all of these, convert them to DOS TEXT and reupload them.......Or Audin could if he HAS word perfect...To do it, you hit F5, or look in your help screen under Dos text.....Its real easy.....
James T Kirk
The .nws files are just the saved files from my scrweing around with NewsMaster. The Roya1.txt is the unaltered file Roya u/led yesterday. Roya2.txt is the roya1.txt file in a 40 charicter coloum, and saved in WP format. I'v
got WP, I just forgot to save it in ASCII. I don know what neat is, Shane u/led it. So, So far the only artical we have is Roya's one on Comunisem. Someone could write one about some kinda music...
James T Kirk
The Nws files are in some Wierd format that only NewsMaster uses. Don't even try to read um. Beleave it or not, Thay come out as a Header saying "Generic Underground Newspaper" and the first paragraph of roya's thing. Only in NM though.
Roya
Could you tell me again how to view the articles...and to see a listing of the ones that are there?
James T Kirk
okay, 'L' will List Verbose Directory. (or, it'll list the files in this room) '.LT filename' will list a text file.
Shane
neat was an accident... look at the size of it.
Scorpion
Are we going to decide what articles go in or are [D[Dsghould I just D/L them and start putting them in. the paper
James T Kirk
I
'll repeat again, the only artical that we have is Roya's. the others are just ones i've been foolin around with.
Spur
Tyhen please remove them, they're just confusing.
James T Kirk
Just ginore all the .nws files. there's only roya's to bother with then.
Pasha Naini
I say we hold a meeting and have somebody print all these out so we can decide which ones to put in...Since we can't read them online...

earth.txt: This is a poem by Roya
James T Kirk
Yea, I'm going to make examples of the fonts on my programe also. And, we don't have to make a compleated paper on the computer, we can just splice the diffrent areas togarther. I think we should use my Dasy Weel printer for the articals. Sence it gives Letter quality print. And it's nice and dark, so it copys well.
Shane
I have decided on my column... it will be one that runs in each issue, entitled "love letters from overseas" or something to that effect... for anyone that's seen liquid television, it's kinda like the postcard thing on that. it's just alot of stuff that doesn't make much sense, but is kinda fun. the aim of it is to just DO it... I think that's pretty much what the paper is about, anyway...
Spur
Cool. Nifty. Spiffsteriffic.
Shane
well, not quite... I will of course do other things... what about everyone else? we gotta submit some stuff.
Zied
audin make my room a ] kinda room okay?
James T Kirk
okay.
Roya
I think we should have another meeting, to discuss the newspaper again...It's obvious that a lot of us have ideas, but we can't seem to organize them over the bbs...
James T Kirk
yup, lets do.
Shane
my idea was stupid, so screw it.
Italian Stallion
(devote a bbs to this)*hey...anyone know someone with a comic strip they want to publish? a good comic /funny/hero\ would be a good way to get readers to look at the magazine...."hey..man...take a look at this comic man..." sunay paper's use it....you should too!
Roya
At the last meeting....I said I could do a comic...but nobody listened to me....(boo hoo)...
James T Kirk
You did? Ya gotta speak up there, good idea, that would get some readers. Mike, could you write an artical? Or a commic, or something? Also, we should have a meeting, soon, Tsometime.
James T Kirk
We should get Cser over here, hes good at getting MUD's togather.
Shane
oh, is he really? so he's the one that's been organizing all of them for us? how very.
Pasha Naini
so let's get our shit together and start!
Pasha Naini
I know that didn't make any sense...

Roya
Ok..well,. I just uploaded another story...Don't be threatened by the enormous amount of characters, and no spaces...It's part of the story itself...Just read it and tell me what you think....I'm thinking of just making it a story that continues each time we print the paper...
