Archive   : MNEWS45.ZIP
Filename : README.1ST
This archive should contain only 6 files, and ONLY ONE readme file.
Any more or less you can be sure this did not come from a ModemNews
NewsStand. Please be aware that some other BBS's have been adding
their own files to our archives and that we are on top of the problem
both legally and publicly.
File list of this archive;
1) README.1ST This File
2) MNEWS45.EXE ModemNews Magazine
3) DESC.SDI Description File (for some BBS File Systems)
4) FILE_ID.DIZ Description File (for some BBS File Systems)
5) ADDITION.ZIP Additional Information Files (Help, etc.)
6) EDITIONS.TXT Description of the different Editions available
If you are interested to find out more about ModemNews Magazine please
open the compressed file called ADDITION.ZIP. In it, you will find some
help files, some general informational files and some sample BBS DOOR
batch files (If you are a SysOp and would like to run ModemNews online
for your callers.)
We try to bring you a safe and useful product. Please help us by
downloading this magazine from the approved NewsStands listed in our
magazine.
ModemNews will return with our 46th issue on February 1, 1993

:ATTENTION:
::SYSOPS READ THIS NOW!::
You SHOULD disable some of our new features for online viewing. Please
use the following command line to do so;
NEWS45 /0 <--that's a ZERO
This will disable any present or future functions in ModemNews that may
affect the way the magazine works with your BBS program and door
handlers. This will also bring your readers directly to PageOne when
they begin, and skip all of the closing screens when they are finished
reading, thus saving a great deal of online time.
We strongly recommend that you use the command line option. We have
tested the magazine under Doorway without the command line and it has
functioned properly, but, to be sure, please use it.
Sample Doorway Batch File:
ECHO OFF
cd\wildcat\doors\runnews
doorway com2: /L: /s:* /P:news45.exe /0
ECHO OFF
So, without further ado type NEWS45 to enjoy one of America's only full
color, menu driven Electronic Magazines.

Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
