Then you will miss out on some really great mailer/tossers. Although with the
exception of Squish, I can't really think of a tosser that doesn't have a
setup program. As far as mailers go, and if administration matters, does
having to go through a hundred netmail attaches to find the mail for someone
sound like efficient administration? I haven't seen a dynamic mailer that
runs as fast on connections as a Static mailer.
I can guarantee that I can do my administrative tasks just as fast with my
text editor as most can with a setup program. It's all in what you get used
to. I used to hate text configs for much the same reason as you. But with the
lack of good mailers that have a setup program under OS/2, I took the plunge
and tried a couple of text-based mailers. I decided I liked the fact that I
now had a native OS/2 mailer running and learned to handle the text configs.
Give them a shot. It can't hurt to at least try. And with a good editor, you
will find that it does become easier with time.
Have a good day!!

assistant: show ? well, then GammaTecIRC is the client for you ;) Well, If you use the
title function that is built into Os2, this will only be painful ;) Just use
the F2 key when you need a list over names.. I missed it when I changed to
OpenChat myself but now I just hate to have the field when I'm using mIRC
when I'm visitign friends :)
Push F2 and a list over users is there.. :) No problems.. :)
few things? Everything ;)
why not ? GemZ is more advanced than any other ircII script I've ever tried
Well, F2 shows ALL users and is faster than scrolling through the list with
your mouse ;)
The docs sucks, but if you need it, I have a 80 page or something ircII
script manual ;)
yea, nag mikh about the lack of docs..
Search for ircII, or say 'can you send me the ircII manual' to me :) just
give me your email address or /msg me at irc .. nick: _tDr_
don't know where, but I've got it.. :) not the special OpenChat commands but
the other ircII commands..
yuck, that one sucks ;) NcFTP is textbased, freeware etc ;)

Write your reply.

assistant: Hey.....
        Well there are some CHANGEs around Adept XBBS,
        that I thought you might want to know about...
 1. The Adept - IRC channel - changed to WEBBnet,
                              irc.suntrix.com - #adept
 2. Due to School, Job, and WorkLoad, Chris Freeze is not able
    to support Adept XBBS at this time.  Thats v1.08.xx.
 3. This means we only have ONE supported Adept XBBS.
 4. The Adept XBBS has "Standardized" it's File Names...!
      They will be known from now on, on ALL BBS's as:
        "ad109fxx.zip" = Full Install
                     and
        "ad109uxx.zip" = UpGrade/UpDate
 5. To (magic) request files from my BBS the following will be
    the names to use:
  @ADEPT109f    E:\FILES3\ADNETSOFT\  AD109f10.ZIP
  @ADEPT109f+   E:\FILES3\ADNETSOFT\  AD109u10.ZIP
  @GKPR         E:\FILES3\ADNETSOFT\  GATE2103.ZIP
  @REXXCBV      E:\FILES3\ADNETSOFT\  REXX_CBV.ZIP
  @DIRMASTER    E:\FILES3\ADNETUTILS\ ILGDM221.ZIP
  @CALLERS      E:\FILES3\ADNETUTILS\ CALLERS.ZIP
  @MCD          E:\FILES3\ADNETUTILS\ MCD-CBV972.ZIP
  @UCBV         E:\FILES3\ADNETUTILS\ UCBV104.ZIP

  @TODAY        E:\FILES3\ADNETUTILS\ U_TDAY1A.ZIP
  @RXUP         E:\FILES3\ADNETUTILS\ RXUOLOAD3.ZIP
 6. Most of these files may be DL'd from my Web Page:
             www.comland.com/~bkirby
 7. Now that I no longer carry v1.08, maybe I can add
    a few more Utilities to the page.  Approx. 2meg...

My question is, is there a way to get the In-Joy window to close after the
connection times out, so that I can recycle my frontend?  Right now, it just
