One of the things I did not like about FIDO was having to change modes
so much. If you are reading files, you had to hit m m f f to list files.
In PC-Board you just type N S U from an prompt for New Since Uploadarea.
Perhaps they have fixed this in version 12 of fido, but I really did not
like it that the meaning of the letters changed so much depending on
where you were in the program. Did they improve this? Where can I call a
PUBLIC ACCESS Fido running the new version?
