Hello Ken,

IMNSHO adding a mail tossers to Allfix was a mistake. There are a number of 
good tossers around for all current OSs. There is enough choice, Fidonet does 
not need yet another tosser.

A Good File manager is another story. Over the years I have been looking for a 
suitable replacement for Allfix, mainly because I want to get rid of the 16 bit 
stuff and I did not find one that satisfied my needs.

I would say drop the mail tosser in Allfix. Only the Swiss love Swiss Army 
knives. Working on the tosser will dilute your time and energy and at best it 
will be more of the same. Go for the file manager. Allfix is an excellent file 
manager. What I think most of what remains of Fidonet is waiting for is Windows 
and Linux versions.

My 2 cents...


Cheers, Michiel
