Effective shock therapy :-)

Hi all,

is there an effective therapy of slow heart rate in an avarage hobby-
programmer? Yes, there is. Just tell him, that two of his programs are
recommended by a well known computer magazine ... That's what happened
to me on Thursday.

On my private website, I offer some small Euphoria programs for free
download <http://luethje.de.vu/prog/>. In the past, I had told about
these programs in some web forums, but I never told Google or another
search engine about my website. So I was very surprised, when on
Thursday someone told me, that my programs 'eml2mbx' and 'mbx2eml' are
recommended in the current issue of c't (c't 22/2003, pp. 178-179).
     They are rather simple Windows command-line tools. 'eml2mbx'
"packs" single e-mail messages (according to RFC 2822) into Unix mailbox
files (mbox format). 'mbx2eml' "unpacks" mbox files.
(Currently there are only German versions of the programs. I hope that
I'll have some time soon, to translate them to English.)

c't is the German computer magazine with the best reputation, and no
computer magazine in whole Europe has more subscribers. Each issue of
c't is bought by more than 385000 people.

If someone thinks, that this post is too much off topic, I apologize in
advance. But I think some of you can understand, that I had to tell you.
And since of course I give credits to RDS in the documentation, this has
the potential to make Euphoria more popular, which is good for all of us.

Regards,
   Juergen
