Comment re Alpha you recently sent me.  

1.  It works.  No serious bugs seen, although I haven't gotten around to
reestablishing the ridiculous config of a *.msg netmail area declared as
squish and then using it extensively.

2. Dos is totally unexceptionable - I haven't seen a thing wrong with it.
Two days full use on the ZoneGate so far.   Dos shell, Novell drive, Msged.

3. In OS/2, in a Dos environment autobooted in a OS/2 full window, the Dos
version hangs.  Hang is immediate, while loading.

It could concevably simply have a -very- long preread time - this is still
with the 700+ echoes available.  I waited several minutes, and it did not
respond.  OS/2 itself was clobbered, with no task switch available, so I
infer that it crashed big time indeed, with great violence done to the OS. 
 I suspect that whatever it did is also an ungood under DOS.   

OS/2 3.0 Warp, running patch kit 6.   Novell requester 2.11, with the
mailbase and Msged on a network drive.  (OS/2 Warp 3.0 patch kit 8, coming
up shortly.)

MsgedP is dead solid so far - I'm using it to write this message, after
using it to read the entire 250 messages of Public Domain I have on hand. 
(Tisk tisk.. such -language- annoying all the dewy eyed kiddies... :-)

Regards,
Dave Hatch.
