GIGO should because it is a DOS program... i don't recall if it uses a dos
extender or not... you'd still need some way of getting the mail and news
and getting it into .BAG files for GIGO to work with...

to be honest with you, i'm not aware of anything windows based that will do
this for you... there has just not been the call for it and the developers
have all left years ago...

it might be possible for you, if your machine has enough oomph, to run
VMWare and host other operating systems on that XPP box... i dunno... what
i'm thinking of is for you to be able to run OS/2 for the gating stuff...
by running VMWare, you would still be running XPP as well as possibly being
able to run Warp3 Connect, Warp4 or eComStation (ECS)... that way, you
should be able to run the GIGOSMTP stuff to gather the mail and news and
make the BAG files for GIGO to chew on...

i don't know... this would also depend on your skill level and familiarity
with the machine and OS'... i can't say that i've ever tried it... i still
run Warp 3 Connect with the 16-bit TCP/IP stack ;)
