Hello, All!

I was asked to write an article for the Russian-language magazine "Downgrade" about GoldEd. But I found very little information about the first versions (less than 2.50) of the editor. Perhaps someone can tell something about this? Or does anyone know the contacts of Odinn Sorensen? He is alive?

Sincerely yours, Vladimir Fyodorov, esquire.

Or does anyone know the contacts of Odinn Sorensen? He is alive?

Odinn died years ago... i think when he was the FTSC chair person but maybe after... that was the second incarnation of the FTSC... we're in the 3rd incarnation now...

but golded was his project from way back to compete with TimED, MessageED, and other similar sysop-side message base readers...

Thank. Unfortunately, the readme.doc says:
===
History for versions v2.01b to v2.14b have been deleted for space
===

It is a pity that there is no information about the first versions of the editor.

Sincerely yours, Vladimir Fyodorov, esquire.

This is not an editor from Odinn Sorensen, but an installer from Jens Fudickar. But still it's interesting, thanks.

Oops. Apparently I didn't look too close...
