The program I use is BYE which should be readily available from most
BBSs.
If I'm not mistaken AUTOPARK is a TSR program and I don't trust ANY
TSR program -- I have a clock on the wall and an el cheapo four
function calculator at hand.  If I'm running WINDOWS of course I have
access to all sorts of goodies.
I just don't like to have to worry about a TSR program interfering with
something else I'm trying to run.

The controversy has been stimulating.

Mr Bournstein, I would appreciate to know who these two mysterious
dealers I supposedly stiffed were? The only other thing for the rainbow that
I have EVER purchased mailorder was an adaptor board from a private party
in colorado, Which I payed for COD. Your message WILL be forwarded to my
legal Counsel, and since I have never dealt with anyone but you and the person
I got the adaptor board from You'll probably be hearing from him about libel
and or slander (whichever is applicable)

Sounds like the typical buffer overflow problem.  Either 20/20 isn't set
up to use XON/XOFF flow control, or your LA50 is broke.

I would like to buy some font cartridges and a manual for the LA100 printer.

If you have some you would like to sell, please leave a note here with your
address, and I will follow-up in a private communication.

BTW, this board now has netmail access to Usenet, via Fido 1:109/401.

   Hmm, they can definitely come in quite handy. With SwitchIt/Desk, for
example, there's a cut and paste utility that resides along with the other
stuff in memory. Lots of times, when responding to email it's much simpler
to cut the person's email address out of the original message and paste it
into the response. Since the mailer on the VM/CMS mainframe I use does not
have a reply function, this TSR comes it *very* useful. It virtually
eliminates typos, too.

   Does this mean, Frank, that articles from USENET newsgroups can be
*automatically* forwarded to an Echo? And vice versa? As you know, I've
been doing this manually. I don't think I've missed any messages so far,
but an automatic system would be much better.

   Do you also have access to UUCP or some other net? If so, perhaps we
could discuss this further via private mail. I can be reached as
GTHEALL@PENNDRLS.UPENN.EDU if the mailer at that site understands
domain-style addressing.
