subject: Qmodem 5.0???

CP>No. In fact I know of a person that still uses it. I've got it, but I
CP>don't use it. I use Qmodem Pro for Windows. I use the OLX that comes
CP>with Qmodem Pro for DOS. I'm thinking about getting OLX for Windows in
CP>the near future when I get more info from other people using it.
   I have it also (upgraded to 5.01 & olx 2.2) I got that
OLX for windows demo yesterday off of mustang.com. Great stuff
I must say, still only does the .qwk thing but supports
256 character header lines now. Mind you that's sending... not receiving.
UUENCODE is now stuffed in there but I can't figure out how to use it,
One really big problem for me is the message fonts, they are all to
big for the screen! I run at 640x480 and the messages are just a little
to wide to fit onto that window! The initial (and only readable) font
is size 8, but the next smallest is 6! talk about eye strain!
also the window will not size itself to messages, after peering around
for an hour for that messages index thing within conferences I found
to my disgust it had no icon! it was still keyboard only.
   That index by the way has about an acre of space between the
read message# author and subject coloumns. You will only get to see
a maximum of two columns on the screen.
   But on the other hand I loved the toolbar, The icon's are real simple
and well arranged and the graphics are incredible. Plus that chick
that announces personal mail! Her voice alway's gives me a H...
I digress. The colours are fantastic too! no more ansi block's
now you have a custom colour setup with a wave style colour palette
that is just incredible.  Plus of course now you can read your
mail while qmodem is chugging away on the telephone line...
        I will warn though, the demo doesn't do rep packets,
definitly not a TD like the old OLX. Mustangs getting a little too
commercial that way. Also... the price is pretty bad...
with tax and shipping it is $75 Canadian, not a 75 dollar program
as far as I am concerned. But Mustang must know this... they
are offering it at half off the list price to just about anyone
they can! Until april 30 anyone who had a registered Mustang product,
now anyone who uses a competitor's product...
   Who knows what's next...
