    ░▒▓█ Rules for writing letters
        in the echo conference of the NETUS network

      Writing is a tricky thing and sometimes, in
In case of incorrect registration, it may be
you don’t go where you need it, but where you want it
sent.
      We specifically focus on the phrase
_WILL GO WHERE HE WAS SENT, AND NOT WHERE HE WAS SENT
YOU NEED_.
      By the description below, I want
teach you how to combine these two things in one
bottle "Write & Go!".

      First things first, decide where you want to go.
write a letter. And through what network?

      VIA WHAT NETWORK???  Good vop-
growing up...
      How will the letter arrive faster?
      Today it can be sent
via two networks: NETUS & SpbZxNet.
It should be noted that this description is compiled
but for the NETUS network, but it does not contradict
Cheats the rules of the SpbZxNet network.

      It's up to you to choose.

      Now, having downloaded the text editor,
you can write the following in the first line -
more:

area : NETUS

Explanation
^^^^_:_ 4 letters, space, colon, pro-white

this means something like this:

where: User Network

      Now you need to decide
what exactly are you going to write - personal
new letter or letter to the echo conference.

      If you want to write a personal letter -
mo, then there is a serious revision to be made above -
the specified string "area :". For the word "NETUS"
should be attributed to the word "MAIL", which means
begins a "letter" (in common parlance they say not
letter, but “soap”, maybe due to the fact that
"LETTER" in English reads: "mail",
which is consonant with the Russian “soap”, roofing felts according to
for some other reason).

      Your personal letter will begin
from the line:

area : NETUSMAIL

      It's quite difficult to translate
line, but you need to understand it like this:

where: User Network, personal letter.

      What if you wanted to write
a letter to some echo conference???
      What to do? And everything is very simple :)

      Choose from a list of echo conferences,
the above, any name that suits
anything on the topic (at least remotely) to your-
mu text creation. After the word "area"
:"enter this name separated by a space, take-
that from the list.

      For example, a letter to an echo conference
"HELP" will look like this:

area : NETUS.HELP

 to the echo conference "HUNTER":

area : NETUS.HUNTER
 etc.

      When you have done everything indicated
above (decided where to go
letter and what topic it is on), you can proceed
fall tofurther processing of the letter.

      I hope you remember your name and surname
Liu?  In the second line, if you remember,
write:

from : [first name] [last name]

BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL!
 Pay attention to the correct spelling
sania.

from :

^^^^_:_ 4 letters, space, colon, pro-
white

      Last name and first name can be written as
in Russian and in English.

      The entire second line will look like
do it like this:

from : Genadiy Zyuganov
        ^^^ ^^^
        first name last name
 translated means:
from: Genadiya Zyuganov

      Now you need to write a letter to someone
resovano.  This is done in the same way only
that the described paragraph "from", but the word
"from :" is replaced with the word "to :", and the name
and the sender's surname to the first or last name
addressee. And the third line looks like this:

to : Sergey Aniskin
translates as:
to: Sergei Aniskin

      Now a very important point that
called"subj:".
      The origin of this word is
explain in more detail :)
 Subj  (abbreviated) comes from the word
"subject", which in English is
There are several meanings, but in this case
carries the meaning: “subject, object of conversation”
ra, topic." By the way, the word "object" came from
exactly fromthis word only has a non-
how many other concepts in addition to the main
new

      If on the fourth line you see:

subj :communism

this means that the person wants to talk
with you about communism :)

The last two lines remain:
date : dd-mm-yy
time : hh:mm

date - the date the letter was written, recorded
in the format: dd-mm-yy, where
 dd- day;
 mm - month;
 yy - year.
time - time of writing the letter, records-
in the format: hh:mm, where
 hh - hours;
 mm-minutes (using the same pattern you can
add seconds)

 This is the beginning of the letter, called
"letter header"
     Here's an example of a finished letter header:
ma.

area : NETUS.ZXUSERS
from : Sergey Aniskin
to: Genadiy Zyuganov
subj :communism
date : 09-04-98
time: 15:04


      Immediately under the "header", you can write
text of the letter.
      The letters end with very interesting
in new lines:
      Line with the name of the text editor -
torus in which the text was typed. Format
such a line:

--- IsDos EDITOR v.4.02

Explanation:
^^^_ three minus signs, space, title
editor.

      A line with your original phrase
(the phrase you want to make yours
business card) and with a return address.

      I will give an example of a letter in the finished form.

      I will briefly describe it: send a letter to
echo conference of the NETUS network, NETUS.SENT,
letter addressed to Vladimir Ulyanov from
Aniskin Sergei, April 22, 1998 at
10:00 am on the topic: birthday.


area : NETUS.SENT
from : Sergey Aniskin
to: Vladimir Ul'yanov
subj: birthday
date : 22-04-98
time: 10:00

 Hello, Vovka!

 Be healthy, grow big!

--- IsDos Editor
 * Origin: our goal is communism!(VEC/01.00)


      The resulting text file before
by sending it to the BBC, rename it as follows:
at once:
      If this is a personal letter
   VEC-****.m, where **** address of the recipient
(sorry for the pun)
      If the letter is sent to the echo conference, then you-
take from the list a sample that finds-
to the left of the echo conference description.
      For example, in the ZXUSERS echo:
 to_zxuse.m

 Good luck in writing letters!!!
