Recently I read that Prodigy began charging for e-mail transmissions. Today my boss asked me about Prodigy, and he wasn't too happy when I told him about the charge. Can somebody tell me where to find information, preferably published, about the charges? Thanks.

Katt's Rumor Central in PC Week a couple of weeks back. More problems with Prodigy mail: No upload/download of files (you can print them). It appears one addressee per note No timestamp on notes, only date stamps. It has full screen editor, but no normal editing functions word wrap-- no cut and paste, no global change. Messages cannot be resent- you blow an address, you get to type the message in again. Text lines can only be 37 characters per line, and messages can only be 60 of these truncated lines. I got Prodigy last week, I am dropping it this week. -ahd- Drew Derbyshire Internet: ahd@kendra.kew.com Snail mail: 108 Decatur St, Apt 9 Voice: 617-641-3739 Arlington, MA 02174

According to the talk on Prodigy, the charge is for an excess of 30 *private* messages/month. >More problems with Prodigy mail: > It appears one addressee per note But you can have one label stand for a list of users By the way, there are a couple of independently-written utilities to make Prodigy more bearable - called PRODHP13.ZIP and PRO-UTIL.ZIP. Does anyone know where I can get these on the internet? Steven -- Steven V. Christensen U.C. College of Eng. schriste@uceng.uc.edu For the adventurous: svc@elf0.uucp
