Currently I am quite satisfied with the DOS DIS software suite, as it has all the main features required etc, but especially because it's `bitty' nature has let me implement lots of little mail and news utilities I will soon be leaving tsys.demon.co.uk in the hands of a computer novice, so to speak, and although they could be taught how to use Snews, I really think the intricacies of running KA9Q are too much. So therefore, what I need is an easy to use set of programs -- most probably for Windows (running '95), that I can integrate lots of utilities into (I will want to add a smart mail forwarding system at least, plus perhaps some more complex utilities). I think because of the second consideration that Turnpike is out of the question -- if it can't run a mailing list then it definitely won't be able to do what I want it to do. I know you can't play with its mail files. Is there anything which people here use and are able to `hack'? I of course prefer free software here, but I don't mind paying a _small_ amount. .splitbung -- * TQ 1.0 * The 'Just So Quotes'. Jesus not only saves, but He also frequently makes backups.
