Had the same problem wout corrupt outgoing archives, but nevcver knew that was 
NT related.  Watergate always worked fine here on W98, until I moved the 
frontend to another faster machine with NT4.  I thought the failure to make 
proper archives had something to do with the Borlan Pascal 7 bug for Pentiums 
over 200 Mhz.  Are you sure this is an NT4 issue?

I like the integrated gateway functions to UUCP and to KA9Q spools.  That 
actually works very well together with the latest Irex.  If you use the Irex 
SMTP/POP3 server and configure KA9Q spooltypes, then Watergate becomes very 
versatile.

I got the impression that there would never be another version of Watergate. 
Ramon got married and after a girl comes on the scend it is all over :-)

Cheers
