MA>                J'aimerais savoir s'il est possible d'envoyer des messages
MA>a des personnes qui ont un compte sur les terminaux du genre Minitel ou Alex

Quand j'etais en France, j'ai essaye le Minitel. Il n'ya pas vraiment un
compte pour chaque un. Il y a des services qui sont fait par des
organisations <ep?>. Un de ces services a ete appeller le Dialcom ou le
Compuserve.

Malheureusment, je pense qu'il y a beaucoup des services qui disent
qu'ils sont des messageries.

A tout le monde: Est-ce-que c'est vrai?

Et puis, est-ce-que c'est possible a "connect" au Minitel par Internet?

    je crains que ce ne sois pas si simple. La "structure" des messages est en general gere par le logiciel utilise (soit celui du serveur, soit le "reader-off-line").

  Certains logiciels mettent des retours chariot, soit a 65, soit a 72 soit a 80 caracteres (certains peuvent etre configures); d'autres traitent les messages comme un traitement de texte (c'est l'affichage qui cree les retours a la ligne).

   J'ai deja entendu parle du probleme de retours genants (une ligne se met sur deux: une de 65 caracteres, la deuxieme de 8!), mais pas de logiciel qui ne puisse recreer des retour chariots quant il y a depassement de l'ecran.

   Comme une normalisation me semble bien eloignee, essayez de voir avec le sysop du serveur en question s'il n'a pas l'option "auto-wrap" dans son logiciel.

   Bonne chance

 Hello Vladimir,
                Thankyou for your reply. I am yet amazed by your ability to arrive in America in 1989 and speak English so well. You wrote in your letter that you are Ukrainian. My grandfather was born in the Ukraine in the small city of Samgorodok and had a tragic experience at the age of 9. Due to the economic problems facing Russia under the rule of Nicolas II, many people turned to crime as a substite for an adequate food source. In front of my Grandfather's eyes, vandals entered him small house and de
manded money and food. The vandal's demands were met, yet this was not enough for them. They shot my Grandfather's father in front of the shocked eyes of his family.

Soryry about burdening you with insignificant delemas, yet when I read your message these thoughts entered my mind. I guess we are both happy that we are out of the ex-Soviet Union before it crumbled into dust within the space of a year (yet it was gradually reaching this point to begin with).

 I am afraid, I have to go now as the school bell is about to go and  there is a long queue behind me.

  I strange sort of message you have, yet below I have translated it for you, I hope it may help, because it does absolutely nothing for me:
   "I'm calling from America. I don't speak Russian. I want to talk to Ritoi Hoffman. He's in a room number 236. Thanks."

I hope this will help yyou. But it seems extremely strange that he/she/it (sorry all of the Russian genders) would say something in Russian, when he/she/it says that he/she/it does not speak Russian.

Well , hope it works out for you and if you wish to reply again with another query or merely to chat, go ahead, I'll be waiting.

                                    Good Luck.

A.B."Banjo" Paterson.

"He ought to be home," said the old man. "without there's something amiss.
He only went to the Two-mile - he ought to be back by this. He _would_ ride the Reckless filly, he _would_ have his wilful way;And here, he's not back at sundown - and what will his mother say?

He was always his mother's idol, since ever his father died;And there isn't a horse on the station that he isn't game to ride. But that Reckless mare is vicious, and if once she gets away He hasn't got strength to hold her - and what will his mother say?

The old mans walked to the sliprail, and peered up the darkening track,And looked and longed for the rider that would never come back;And the mother came and clutched him, with sudden, spasmodic fright;"What has become of my Willie? - why isn't he home tonight?"

Away in the gloomy ranges, at the foot of an ironbark,
The bonnie, winsome laddie was lying stiff and stark;
For the Reckless mare had smashed him against a leaning limb,And his comely ace was battered, and his merry eyes were dim.

And the thoroughbred chesnut filly, the saddle beneath her flanks,Was away like fire through the ranges to join the wild mob's ranks;And a broken-hearted woman and an old man worn and white
Were searching all day in the ranges till the sundown brought the night.

And the mother kept feebly calling, with a hope that would not die,"Willie! where are you, Willie?" But how can the dead reply? And hope died out with the daylight, and the darkness brought despair. God pity the stricken mother, and answer the widow's prayer!

Though far and wide they sought him, they found not where he fell;For the ranges held him precious, and guarded their treasure well. The wattle blooms above him, and the blue bells blow beside by And the brown bees buzz the secret, and the wild birds sing reply.

But the mother pined and faded , and cried, and took no rest,And rode each day to the ranges on her hopeless, weary quest,Seeking her loved one ever, she faded and pined away,
But with strength of her great affection she still sought every day.

"I know that sooner or later I shall find my boy," she said. But she came not home one evening, and they found her lying dead,And stamped on the poor pale features, as the spirit homeward passed,Was an angel smile of gladness - she had found her boy at last.

G'day Mindee,

Thankyou for answering my msg. I am sorry to tell you that I don't write poetry myself. However, I enjoy reading poetry.

As you can see from my origin line, I live in Australia.  There are some very good poets in Australia.

One of the most famous Australian poets was a man called "Banjo" Patterson. I think his real initials were A.J.

Try and see if your Library has any of his works. One of his works was "The Man from Snowy River" which was made into a Film of the same name. There a sequel to the film called "The Man from Snowy River 2" , (what a surprise!).

Let me know if you can't get hold of any of Banjo's works.

There are a number of environmentally-related echoes available in
FIDOnet. Some that come to mind are GREEN.029 (from GreenPeace),
ENVIRON, ENVIRO, etc.

Perhaps your sysop could pick one or two of them up for you. Ask
him/her!!!!

Best wishes!
