Yes, I know, halcyon.com is a Unix box. Now for a *REAL* archive server :-)
You can use ftpmail@remote.halcyon.com, a DOS box with DOS Waffle and WFS.
WFS is considerably more forgiving on command syntax than the MBAS on halcyon.com.
Say: "help" in the message body. Don't worry about signatures, case, column position.

Last I heard, everything on halcyon.com is available at remote.halcyon.com.
Izzat it, Ralph? :-)

Regards,
  larry.
