assistant: Unfortunitly, the first version will only be inhouse. Once we work on it a
bit,
 and make sure it is stable, and I add the features I want in it, then we
will
release it. :)
Except that we are listening to are customers, and know that are customers
know what they are talking about. (well most)
Nod. We are going to release a "skeleton" version to are beta team, and see
if
they like the look and feal of it. This way, if everyone says, "No! Throw it
away!!!!!", we can change it without to much problem. :)

 You can get a software package called Tranx. There is also an easier way:
 Just export the mail as you would normally do. Find the name of the outbound
 FTSC-001 packages, and uuencode them. Then send these files to the receiver
 address using some utility (eg. X-robot). When receiving inbound mail, check
 for mail to a specific address (eg. netname@yourdomain) using NetMgr. Write
 the messages to a text-file, and uudecode the text file. Move the uudecoded
 file into your inbound directory, and toss mail as usual. Please netmail for
 batch file examples.

OS2     View        unarj l %a

Filename is ARJZ015.ARJ, and you should be able to find it somewhere on your
side of the pond.  Doc's are in Russian, but the settings above work here.
RAR is a much better compressor though, and is easier to use.  You might want
to see about getting your other software to support external archivers (like
RAR) as you never know when something better will come along.
