Whew! for a while I thought that it was not working.

I have been looking online for quite sometime for a solution, have not found
one yet. A lot of the documentation
seems to be for SBBS (DOS) and some of it is for the Version 3 which is the
windows version, there is nothing clear to understand what instructions that I
am looking at.
Never really did like the RA clone - ELEBBS but if works better then SBBS than
I will work through the issues with it.


GJD>> Platinum Xpress Mailer (DOS) does this the best I have ever seen.

RW> Really? That's a first.
yes really I like the stats that it indicates, percentage of the mail packet
remaining as it tosses the mail. Currently fmail does the same thing but not as
pretty. Thats what logs are for to understand how many message tosses and
where, fmail.log and summary.log

GJD>> Default full screen editor within SBBS is less then desired as well.

RW> Probably.
yes the full screen editor is a mess.
