        I remember the browse command and last time I tried it... it did not 
give me the ability to reply to my messages when reading them. I will have to 
give it a revisit. How can I do the users a favor and have browse scan all of 
their tagged message areas when they log in?

I had assumed Dosemu would be required but I haven't tried it yet. May have to 
run the squish mailer under Dosemu as the Linux based version has some mites 
that are driving both me and my HUB nuts. Its Pack verb doesn't work and his 
dearchiver for his Windows boxen is not working correctly (thats not our 
problem fortunatly but he wanted me to test packing in ZIP and it wouldn't pack 
in zip! (thats another message altogether!
 SD> 3) IIRC, MEX programs do not work under the Linux 
 SD> compile (if I remember what Wes said correctly).
        That isn't quite true. I have compiled a few programs in mex and they 
ran fine. That is of course using the maximus source of the CVS tree and using 
the MEX source code of the program. Precompiled MEX binaries don't run at all. 
(no surprise). Therefore the biggest thing for me is.. finding more mex source 
code so I can learn the language as well as expirement with whats out there.
