Apologies if I am asking a question that has been recently asked in this group. The Nutshell book on MH/XMH hints at the existence of MH/POP software available for DOS and the Mac, but give no contact information. Can anyone supply me with the necessary (mail) address? Also, does anyone know of a DOS Windows 3 equivalent of xmh?

Some educational institutions can get MH-like PC and Mac software from: Networking & Communication Systems 115 Pine Hall Stanford University Stanford, CA 94305-4122 (415)723-3909 I've used their Mac MH program and it's pretty nice... it's window and menu-based, stores messages in separate Mac files in folders, etc. I think Stanford only gives licenses to some educational institutions, though. Another reader of the book asked me about POP for his PC's. I did some hunting through the anonymous ftp archive server at quiche.cs.mcgill.ca and found a program called POPmail. I have *never* used it. You can get it by anonymous ftp from boombox.micro.umn.edu. Here's a little bit of the POPmail documentation. (Sorry in advance if this doesn't belong in the mh-users list... it seemed like a pretty common question to me.) --Jerry Peek, O'Reilly & Associates, jerry@ora.com, uunet!ora!jerry --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This manual is about POPmail for IBM and compatible microcomputers that run the MS-DOS operating system. POPmail is an electronic mail (E-mail) system, written by the Microcomputer & Workstation Networks Center at the University of Minnesota. With the POPmail program, you can send and receive E-mail messages locally or to and from large systems on campus and around the world. In addition to POPmail for the IBM, we also support an Apple Macintosh version, although all references to POPmail in this manual will pertain only to the IBM version unless specified otherwise. POPmail uses the standard IBM character set to emulate a graphical user interface (GUI). For this reason, POPmail runs on a wide range of IBM PCs and compatibles, including the earliest PCs which contained a monochrome display adapter (with no graphics support). In other words, POPmail does not require that you install a special graphics display adapter in your computer. ... We allow free distribution of POPmail to all interested parties as long as our copyright notices are not altered or removed and you do not charge others for distribution of our software. ... If you have questions, bug reports, suggestions, or general comments about POPmail you can send E-mail to us at: popmail@boombox.micro.umn.edu or if you prefer paper mail: POPmail Project Microcomputer & Workstation Networks Center University of Minnesota Room 125 Shepherd Labs 100 Union St. SE Minneapolis, MN 55455 U.S.A.
