Perhaps this is worth a try. I recently came across a good *free* XServer
for Macs and PCs. I've installed it and am currently using it. It's
comparable to what's available commercially. If you can find a good XClient
for the NT Server, this might work better. The url is:

When you get there, click on "Free Stuff", then "MI/X".

                          Mailing Lists at SemWare:
                  A Short Summary of Available Facilities
In the past several months, we have made several modifications to the
mailing list systems here at SemWare, and have hopefully improved the
accessibility of the lists for making changes.
First, we have a MailBot set up to make it easy for your to modify your
configuration.  By sending a message to one of the available addresses you
can modify your configuration for a mailing list.  The following addresses
are available:
    tsepro-request@semware.com      TSE-Pro Mailing List
    tsejr-request@semware.com       TSE Jr. Mailing List
To get a list of the available commands, send a message to one of the
addresses above, with the word HELP in the body of your message.  (Note: the
options available in the mailing list processor work with *both* addresses,
so you only need one list of the commands.)
Second, we have added a form to our Web Site that allows you to:
    - Subscribe yourself to a list
    - Unsubscribe from a list
    - Get MailBot command list
To get to this form, goto http://www.semware.com and select the "Mailing
List" link.
Finally, if you are having any other problems with the mailing, you can get
help support from us directly by sending a message to
administrator@semware.com and we will do our best to help you.

just a quick question. We had a situation where we had a file that came
off our HP3000 as 184 bytes (it likes even numbers, and kinda chokes on
odd file sizes) long. we had to produce a file 183 bytes for someone
at the federal level. So we blocked a character column at 184 and
deleted with TSE PRO 2.6.  We could see in hex that the columns were
filled in  with, ex: "31 20 20 20 20 00"  the "00" in 184. when we
were done we ended up with  "31" all the spaces were gone "20 20 20 20"
we may not have a problem. how can I prevent this from happening?

offhand, it sounds like you probably have RemoveTrailingWhite turned on.
this will remove trailing whitespace.  it may consider hex 00 to be

George (et al),
  Are there any plans to add support for Windows 95/NT long file names to the
DOS version of TSE/Jr (or QEdit, as we ancient ones still think of it?)
   I tried TSE/Pro and found it a little big and "helpful" for my tastes; I
still use QEdit for 90+% of my editing, but the long file name issue is
annoying.
   Or, if you're feeling somewhat more ambitious, a Win32-native QEdit (just
like the OS/2 version, which I used in my OS/2 days) would be a really nice
thing for me. I'm probably the only one who wants it, though...

In the past year we haven't done any major releases of TSE Jr., only

However, we will keep this feature in mind when we start working on the next
