From 1dfbbf0b56964f75c589174680d02422d5328017 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "G. Branden Robinson" Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2020 01:00:28 +1000 Subject: Reflow or fix long lines in top-level docs. This did not produce much churn except in README.MinGW, which seems to have been deliberately wrapped at 76 columns instead of 72--sorry. Also update (in INSTALL.REPO's case, add) editor settings. --- MORE.STUFF | 110 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------------------------- 1 file changed, 58 insertions(+), 52 deletions(-) (limited to 'MORE.STUFF') diff --git a/MORE.STUFF b/MORE.STUFF index 1811977ea..d861cc94c 100644 --- a/MORE.STUFF +++ b/MORE.STUFF @@ -38,15 +38,16 @@ from ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/gro*b.zip -and its mirrors; for installation details please read `arch/djgpp/README'. -This port also runs on Windows 32 systems, except Windows 2000. +and its mirrors; for installation details please read +`arch/djgpp/README'.
