I downloaded my first email turn today.  It's looks good enough.  It is
very much an unrefined copy of your turn.  It's formatted for 10cpi and
80 columns, so some of the info has changed position on the results.
For example, spells are listed one per line.  As long as MG keeps
working on this, I'll keep using it.  Especially since my turns sometimes
take 13 days in the mail!

The only copy currently on the BBS in a Wordperfect 6.0 for Windows.
Since I don't have that WP, I can't answer your question.  When I
download the ASCII file I'll let you know what it says.  Odds are that
someone will get the printed version before I even get a look at the
electronic version.  (MG had a network crash and couldn't upload to the BBS)
