Hi there, Well I just got a hold of Broadcast 1.2. Before I set it up on every machine here I would like to know how stable it is. I seem to remember a few months back, stories about Macs hanging in the middle of VERY important documents when a BroadCast message was recieved. Is this (still) true ? Come to think of it, is Public Folder 1.0 OK ? I only remember problems with configuration, have there been any major crashes associated with this ? Thanks, Michael

The lab where I work has used both Broadcast and Public folder with Waterloo MacJanet. We haven't had any problems, and Public Folder has turned out to be a real time-saver. If you want a "messaging" type utility that is more functional than Broadcast, try NetChat. You can find it on America Online. Netchat is also a DA, so it's more convenient than Broadcast.

Is available a IBM/MS-DOS version of BroadCast? We have IBM and MAC connected with TOPS via appletalk and we're looking for the MS DOS version of broadcast (if any!) Please e-mail, because I dont subscribe. Thank you. cave@cup.portal.com
