wOEZINE!eMAG was formed in the late months of 1996 after an idea by Elmer
Fudd and Dreadnought (maybe d3m0n too, dont remember;)). The idea was to
make a kickass emag for our group: wOE. The emag was intended to be by-
and for wOE members only. Shortly after the first wOEZINE beta were out
and everyone loved it. Elmer Fudd made the first beta of wOEZINE, but as
the beta was out, wOE members didn't like the attitude of Elmer Fudd and
its sorry to say, but wOE kicked Elmer Fudd out of the group, mostly
because he didn't get along with the wOE founders and seniors. The emag
were never released, the only thing we saw was the beta. Then Dreadnought
came along and promised to keep up the work on wOEZINE, but with his own
code and features. Dreadnought made a beta of the emag and it looked
promising, but after a while, dN didn't get along with d3m0n, and somehow
he quitted wOE and all we had was this beta!.. Iguess somehow d3m0n felt
responsible and soon after d3m0n started to code his version of the emag.
|  Since dreadnought wouldn't give away his source code, d3m0n needed to code|
the entire emag from scratch. After a couple of weeks/months?, d3m0n were
|  finally ready to release wOEZINE!eMAG #OO1. The emag contained wOE's fully|
memberlist and info about the scene and wOE. But we noticed that not only
wOE members were interested in reading this emag, also people from other
|  scenes were interested in reading and contributing, still we produced #OO1|
|  as a emag for wOE members only to read. After issue #OO1, d3m0n decided to|
quit wOE and the scene, because he had gotten a girl and a life?wife?;)
so yet another time, we didn't have a emag to release. After some talks,
d3m0n decided to give the source code of the emag to the third founder of
wOE: pogue_. But the source code wasn't whole, files were missing and
routines were missing. The hard job was to build up the source so it
looked mostly like issue #OO1 of wOEZINE. After some coding, pogue_ did
release issue #OO2 of the emag. And pogue_ has released and coded this
emag ever since... Lets hope he doesn't get tired of doing it;)

wOEZINE doesn't require much of your computer. This emag is compressed
and all the articles are compressed into the .exe file, no external .dat
files or anything;) wOEZINE requires minimum a 386 computer with a small
drive. We have also tested wOEZINE on a 486sx 33mhz computer with 16megs
of ram and it works great, we have also test wOEZINE on a pII 333mhz with
64megs of ram and a pII 400mhz, and it works great on those computers
aswell. All the above computers was running in dos modus, under either
windows 95 or 98. We haven't found any bugs in wOEZINE, except for a
small bug with the ansi scroller, but we are working to fix that problem
sometime in the near future.

You can either run wOEZINE in DOS EMU, windows 3.x, windows 95/98/2000 or
|  pure DOS. There is no limitations. wOEZINE has been worked on since around|
October of 1996 and we have therefore destroyed most of the bugs in the
emag and we have also made it a stable emag. It simpy won't crash your
computer, but IF(?) it does, please report it to us.

wOEZINE is coded in Turbo Pascal with use of objects, units and some ASM
routines. By putting all the articles into the .exe file instead of into
some kind of .dat file, we have made the emag faster and stable. The emag
uses its own article reader and its own script language for reading the
|  articles + a converter which converts any text file into a woezine article|
|  format file. If anyone has any cool coding idea's they won't to share with|
us, just mail us and we'll get back to you.

IF WOEZINE WON'T WORK? It might be if you haven't used tppatch and then
get a error right after you have started woezine.exe. Just get TPPATCH
and run that program, woezine will work after that.

We haven't really keept a list of what has been changes in wOEZINE since
|  the start of issue #O1 and till our latest issue. But I can say this, alot|
of features has been added, such as new fading routines, faster scroller,
2x article readers and alot more.

One feature I know I've added in issue #O1O and newer, is that you no
longer need to hit ESC to get out of an article. You can now either hit
ESC or just hit ENTER to get out of an article.

The ascii reader has been changed for issue #O11 of wOEZINE, we hope that
it will work satisfying.
