connected with the network.  I dunno could have been a bad update on my part
but both machines having the same lockup problems made me skiddish of further
use of the update.  I think I'll be posting a few messages in PCSITES to try
and find out if someone is successfully running the 128K feed on an OS/2

as you may notice I'm a Binkleyterm fan. During the great

doc for this version. Lutz Issler help me a lot and I think
he done more than I. However this doc will be available soon
and support ASCII, INF and HTML (need a bit more time).
This german doc is based on the "old" Binkley 2.60 and the
changes by Thomas Waldman and the people around him. We decide
to make only one doc, instead of the two (user and reference).
Our version is able to handle multilingual docs and
assemble different languages using some main-code. If you
interessting for some native language doc, please drop
me a mail at fido (2:2454/169) or internet (schiradi@tap.de).

Write your reply.

assistant: Hallo Ross,
That's a contradiction in itself :-)
Binkleyterm itself doesn't touch mail stuff at all, that's the job of the
mail processor.
Binkley just sends and receives files (either *.out uncompressed mail files
or files listed in the *.flo flow files).
I normally send netmail uncompressed and separate from compressed echomail
archives.
And I use Binkley (BT-XE XR4 OS/2).
If you want to try Binkley XE, you can get it here using the magic BTXE_OS2
or BTXE_DOS (800 .. 1100 KB).
