TML message #1755From bundle 144

Ah, someone finally wrote a burst program for the digest.
I thought people would be stuck with my clunky program forever!

In my own defense, I wasn't really sure about the digest format when I
wrote the program. Also, it was written before the new-style format.

But I do miss one feature from my program: my program printed a
message each time it sent an article. (It gives the idle user
something to watch while the program does its thing.)

On different subject: What do people think of the MT improvement
system (ATs and all that)?
