Our (nontechnical) VMS users all have DEC's All-in-One Office Automation
menu system as their interface to the world.

I want to implement a newsgroup- or bboard-like system, probably using the
Shared Library hooks to the A1 folder/file cabinet/mail system.  It should
allow anybody to post by sending mail to a pseudo-username, and then allow
anybody to read and reply to those postings in an organized manner - you
know, like mail(1)/rn(1) or MM/BBoard, only within the A1 menu paradigm.

Is anybody else out there using A1?  Have you done anything like this?  Any
helpful hints?
