First of all, your message was inappropriate for comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d. Topics such as this one belong in comp.os.msdos.apps; please help keep c.b.i.p.d on-topic by not posting inappropriate messages here. Second of all, Waffle is quite a fine program for this application. Waffle has extensive (comparable to smail 2.5) mail-routing capabilities, as well as the ability to handle batched news and 12-bit compressed batches. The most recent version of Waffle is v1.62, although v1.63 is due out soon. You can obtain Waffle from wuarchive.wustl.edu: /mirrors/msdos/bbs/waf162.zip. -- Marc Unangst | mju@mudos.ann-arbor.mi.us | Angular momentum makes the world go 'round. ...!umich!leebai!mudos!mju |

Is there a program out there that hooks into an NNTP host for general reading? I'm not really interested in becoming a full UUCP node... -- Jason Merrill me@here
