Hi Stephen:

Well, I just tried the release version of LW 3 and I must say that it is
much improved over the Beta.

However, I am a registered user of ZOC (currently 2.11) and have decided
to stay with it. Guess I'm use to ZOC's look and feel and it has a wealth
of features I haven't even tapped into yet.

I would recommend to anyone that is looking for a good OS/2 comm app to
try LW3, ZOC2.XX, and TE/2. They are bound to like at least one of them.

BTW, anyone know what has happened to TE/2 and Brady Flowers? Haven't heard
a peep out of Brady for a long time now.

Regards,

Stu Davis
