Thanks for that, Colin. I hope that whoever bought the product rights
will build on the good work which went into the original program. I
also hope that they reveal themselves soon so that the many happy
users will have a chance to see future versions of your great program.


May I ask a brief question?  Whenever I connect to Windis from an
email program to collect mail, I get a connection but I also get the
Windows95 dial-up 'connect' dialog. As soon as I cancel this, the mail
is collected. I've tried it with two email programs and it happens
with both, regardless of what dial-up/tcp-ip settings I make in them.
Do you think the problem is in my Windows DUN settings or does windis
have something to do with it?  It's a very minor niggle, really, but
it would be nice if I could sort it out. Thanks.
