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.
