But I have been kinda disappointed in the low response from people trying it out. I guess that in part it is most useful to people with phone links rather than nntp links, and these people don't have ftp. So if you are trying it out, let me know, and if you want me to mail it to you, send me some mail. -- Brad Templeton, ClariNet Communications Corp. -- Waterloo, Ontario 519/884-7473
