I remember the browse command and last time I tried it... it did not
give me the ability to reply to my messages when reading them. I will have to
give it a revisit. How can I do the users a favor and have browse scan all of
their tagged message areas when they log in?

I had assumed Dosemu would be required but I haven't tried it yet. May have to
run the squish mailer under Dosemu as the Linux based version has some mites
that are driving both me and my HUB nuts. Its Pack verb doesn't work and his
dearchiver for his Windows boxen is not working correctly (thats not our
problem fortunatly but he wanted me to test packing in ZIP and it wouldn't pack
in zip! (thats another message altogether!

That isn't quite true. I have compiled a few programs in mex and they
ran fine. That is of course using the maximus source of the CVS tree and using
the MEX source code of the program. Precompiled MEX binaries don't run at all.
(no surprise). Therefore the biggest thing for me is.. finding more mex source
code so I can learn the language as well as expirement with whats out there.
