BP7.  Sometime back I recreated the console mode of WC4 as a stand-alone
framework and my first implementation was for ViaADDR! (for ViaMAIL!
v2.00). This includes all the chat modes, scrollback, keyboard toggles,
security upgrades, statusbar size changes, complete reading/writing of
all WC4 drop files and so on. Literally everything WC4 does including
prompt files.  So if you want to see it in action, install the new
ViaMAIL!/ViaADDR!.

So this will be my second implementation of the framework.  Now I've
rounded up as many drop file formats as I can find (don't have all of
them though) and will do my best to implement them all.

So, if you have your own collection of the specs for various drop
file types, I'm all ears and will gladly accept whatever you're willing
to part with.  Hint hint...

I've already written the configuration program and am working on the
program as we speak.  There's too much to talk about at this point but
it should be a fun project and am enjoying it so far.

Regards,

Joe Martin
