Re: difficulty of going from DECPC on CIS to Easyplex:
It's akin to leaving one program on your Rainbow and going to another,
e.g. shutting down WordPerfect and starting up 1-2-3.  The worst part
is that there is essentially no "data sharing" between the two (it is
possible to send an Easyplex message from within the Forum, but the
Forum software imposes a limit on the length of the addressee string
that makes it essentially useless for this purpose (something like
20 characters?)).
Re: posting long messages from "here" (> 30 lines or 2.5K +/- characters)
as multiple messages "there" -- yes, that's what's going to have to happen.
If/when this gets off the ground I hope to have some TPU code to automate,
or semi-automate, as much of this as possible, including that part.
