a little update:

: 	my sis got her ol' A500 hooked up and she wants an off line email 
: reader for it - yep i'm looking for some names of some so fire away

: Specs:

: A500, 1Mb(+ a bit), OCS, w HD expansion, (and some other stuff.)
  
oh ya - she's hooked up via modem to a connection site 
(no i don't know why they don't have there own email reader)
and also she most doesn't want to deal with all this TCP/IP and MUI extra 
stuff. make it simple, it is an old computer.

(that's all message continues..)

: also the hard drive has a problem in the startup script:

: instead of: assign blahblah: yackiti:shmakity
: it has    : assin  blahblah: yackiti:shmakity

: but this big 'oops' is way up in the script so the hard disk isn't being 
: recognized, so she can't access it cause the script also fails at 20 
: instead of 21 (ie Failat 20 not Failat 21)

: give me _ANY_ ideas on this one please cause the next time i'll be near 
: the computer my connection here will be totaly unavailable for a long 
: long time.
