Luciana, I would be happy to place the files on WUARCHIVE.WUSTL.EDU in the
following directory there:  mirrors/pub/MSDOS_UPLOADS/

I have Silly Little Mail Reader, Jabber, and Q-Mail Deluxe.  These are all
shareware and require registration for continuing use after a short period.
I also have the Mega-Mail Door which is Free-ware by Kip Compton who does the
PC-Relay Software, now Post-Link Software.  I have other specific Offline
Mail Readers such as EZ-Reader, however, I think the version available on my
system is rather outdated (Version 1.38) and somewhat buggy.  What would you
like for me to stick up on WUARCHIVE.WUSTL.EDU ?
