[comp.sys.atari.st] Calling PELL, or Wanted: STadel news

051332@UOTTAWA.BITNET (John Turnbull) (01/25/88)

Are the any people from or near PELL (The home of STadel) on the net?
If so,  some people here in Ottawa are just starting to experiment
with STadel V3.0c.  We would like to get a copy of any news updates
since 'citanews 687', a copy of the alternate helpfiles mentioned in
one of the citanews files, and a copy of any utilities that have
been developed (excluding: Clog; Lexpand, Logedit; Popular; and
Citsh). We have a copy of Expand, with no .docs and have the .DOCs for
but do not have: Recoverl; ctdlchng; and Citar.  If you can work out
a path from the addresses below, I'll send copies of any goodies that
you can send to the archives at CANADA01.

Question:  What are people using networking for?  Clearly, international
networking is wonderful!  But in a typical local calling area of about
1/2 a million people, what does networking do that 'standard' BBSs do
not?  *NOTE*  Please, I am not trying to be provocative.  I would really
like to know what is being done, not start a flame war.  I just have not
thought of an application in a local area.

Thank you in advance. /JT

   I've heard that occasionally some messages about STadel fly across 
the net.  Well, Pell is now roomsharing comp.sys.atari.st with the net, 
so I'll be able to actually answer some questions about the s/w here. 
  
   My, you usenet people like the long headers and footers on your 
messages, don't you?
