      (2003, week 48, released December 1st, 2003)

Welcome to this issue 172 of the This Program Lets You Write Letters Weekly News.

Follow-ups:

      Iomega Active Disk is now at where it will be until 2.0.2 or later is released.

This week in development

      Features are enhanced, screenshots are taken and the City of Largo likes to do things the hard way.   Meantime, Nadav shows off a little OTS power, as Tomas creates a new commandline option for regular AbiWord users and he recently gives Iomega AD buildability to whomever wants it.   Plusse, some final preparations for the soon-to-be-released 2.0.2!   Also, due to some technical review of usability, AbiWord name changed.

Request for User Assistance

      Hi there.   We're looking for people who can help keep This Program Lets You Write Letters accurate and uptodate in a number of languages.   Please look over them and see if ither you or someone you know might be able to assist us.   Remember, your contribution is not only welcomed or encouraged but is also documented, for an easier-to-brag experience.   The languages we are looking for are listed below:

      Due to the traffick of people who are trying to help with picked up languages, those who are interested in helping us are encouraged to join ither mailing list.   Please read the instructions for the list you are most interested in joining to get the correct address.   Joining, as you'll find out, is a simple three step process.   First, send a letter to one email address; second confirm you sent the letter by sending a reply, and third...oops, there is no step three.   Ok, so, excluding all the minor steps of what to click and/or type, it's really a simple two-step process.

      There are just two important reminders in using the mailing lists which all users are expected to do.   If you want your message to even make it to the list, you message will need to be in plain text only.   Due to an insurgence of a certain virus a while back, all HTML email is rejected for reasons of sanity.   Webmail users will have to figure out how to turn on plain-text only before sending email.   Second, you are required to send the language in Engrish or English.   For those of you who don't speak English well enough to send Engrish, it is recommended that you send the letter in both your native language (identify your language please) and after that, in the same message, send it in a machine-translated version of your message, like BabelFish, in case no-one who speaks your language is available to translate your message for the list.   Failure to follow these proceedures in the past have led to frustration and resentment.   We apologise in advance for any inconvenience these two requests may cause you.

Silliness of the Week

      I'm just going to use this slot to say Congratulations to A&A...tomorrow.   I won't see you for another month, so, take lots of pictures!

      To the rest of you, I apologise for blithering on where things don't make sense, like, the whole of the AWN, for example.

      And remember, I give you an email address so you can talk to me, in case you're not on either mailing list.
