Oooops!  Never came across that one Charlie.

The one I'm on about, started life somewhere about 3 - 4 years  
ago in Germany from a guy called Harald Brinkman.  He wanted  
something similar to Terminate, but GUI for Windows9x use.  But  
instead of giving it a terminal mode, he gave it an E-mail and  
Newsgroup Client mode.  Interesting development.

TTFN,

Archie
