GK> Hello all!

Hello Kurt!

And All others!  :-)

 KW> Good choice - the mailer is running (and taking 
 KW> resources) 24 hours a day, you want to have the lowest 
 KW> draw on your system so you can use it, too. I ran BT-
 KW> DOS for a time while I switched my software over to

Sounds good.

Never did understand the need for routing in Squish - now I do.  Hmmmm. 
Shouldn't be too tough to write it in.


 KW> BT is JUST a mailer. All routing is handled by your

 KW> There is no Binkley equivalent to route.fd. The good

Starting to understand....

 KW> I never looked back from dumping FD - I felt like the 
 KW> freeware wold was being corralled into the shareware 
 KW> version - any time I had any question about 2.02nc, the 
 KW> response would be "You should upgrade to (and register) 
 KW> 2.12 - it's so much cooler!"

Yes, I registered FD($50) and when I did that, people started telling me
how much cooler the commercial version (another $99) was.

 KW> Once MAJOR plus for Binkley- the people in this echo 
 KW> really define the term USER-SUPPORTED software - the 
 KW> people here are very helpful, and VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE in 
 KW> the software - some of the people here have taken the 
 KW> source code and released their own revisions!

 KW> I can't think of one problem I've posted about in this 
 KW> echo that I haven't gotten an answer QUICKLY here.

So far so good.

Thanks!
