Ok, since I have someone interested in a OS2 version of InterMail/InterEcho,
will take a look at VP/2.  Can you guide me to the best place to obtain a safe
copy?  Also possible to let me know were to find the DOS plug in?  I figured if
it is close to BP, maybe I can compile a version of it.

I have Borland Pascal 7 now working with the OS2 patch but its only for 16 bit
but I can do a PM with it (requires quite a bit of work).


Thanks for the help and feedback.
