A few months ago the president of Micro-Systems Software called our company
(Felsina Software) and asked for a "free" copy of A-Talk, our telecomm and
terminal program. He sent us a "free" copy of Organize! in exchange (sincerely
I never used it). Today I received my advertiser copy of the AmigaWorld
Special Issue where Micro-Systems Software has a full page ad on Online! 2.0,
which is "The rebirth of a standard.... We [MSS] spent long research and
development hours segregating YOUR [users] letters .... things like 9600 baud
support, KERMIT protocol, auto-chop, ...a telephone book, a review buffer to
re-read text that scrolled too fast [remember the OLD Online!?] and 132-column
support".
Interesting that ALL the features mentioned were present since September 1986
in the 1.1 release of A-Talk we sent MSS. We really feel flattered 8-).
Too bad they got no Tektronix emulator in there! I guess with Aegis Diga!
coming out REAL SOON NOW (they got our bucks 1 month ago, but continue to
pospone release date) it should be an interesting year for telecomm programs.
Consider this a totally biased message, so NO disclaimers this time. I AM
associated with Felsina Software.

Yeah, but the REAL question is: Does it still hog the pc when it's idle? (i.e., run PM on it). Keith Doyle # {ucbvax,ihnp4,decvax}!trwrb!cadovax!keithd # cadovax!keithd@ucla-locus.arpa
