Or WANT_EDITLINE=yes, that is still possible in v14.8.8.

The NCL does handle multibyte absolutely correct.
And as long as you don't use double-width characters or place more
characters on the visual line as the terminal can place in its
input queue anything is just fine.
The MLE is an improvement.

 |What is netrc? Is that some kind GNU thing?

 |predrag@oko$ uname -a

It is usually documented for ftp.  Now that i look, GNU doesn't
document comments either.  Nonetheless, i'll add them, i didn't
know that.

New mailbox types not before v15.  It simply doesn't make sense to
implement something that possibly needs to be changed completely
again.

I will really try to reinstantiate it for v14.9.  Then a long time
will pass.
Huhu.

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
