NewsFudge v1.17

Open Source Software NewsFudge is a utility for !Voyager that can:

Add taglines to postings (either above OR below the signature)
Add time of uploading to end of postings
Add a countdown to the new millennium in the header (either 2000 or 2001 as applicable)
Change the "Organization" line
Fudge email address to non-Argo (or all) groups
Fudge mailbox identity to non-Argo (or all) groups
Add a 'ZFC sequence counter'

This software was nominally designed to replace VinceH's AddTime, AddSeq and AddTags; with a few more features added...

This version (1.17) is the fourth proper release, and it comes complete with a nice little installer application.

The installer

NewsFudge has many configuration options

The source code for NewsFudge is available under the concept of Open Source Software, with the proviso that:

You notify me of bug fixes and improvements, with code, so they can be incorporated into the main distribution.
You don't release your copy of NewsFudge (without permission) or create derivative works from it.

This allows you the opportunity to correct any glitches you come across, and the opportunity to add/modify the program to perform the exact features that you require. Besides, it is good for a little hack value. :-)

Please note, if you download the source, you will also need the regular distribution for things like the sprites, templates, et cetera.
