        I remember the browse command and last time I tried it... it did
not give me the ability to reply to my messages when reading them. I will
have to give it a revisit. How can I do the users a favor and have browse
scan all of their tagged message areas when they log in?

I had assumed Dosemu would be required but I haven't tried it yet. May have
to run the squish mailer under Dosemu as the Linux based version has some
mites that are driving both me and my HUB nuts. Its Pack verb doesn't work
and his dearchiver for his Windows boxen is not working correctly (thats
not our problem fortunatly but he wanted me to test packing in ZIP and it
wouldn't pack in zip! (thats another message altogether!

        That isn't quite true. I have compiled a few programs in mex and
they ran fine. That is of course using the maximus source of the CVS tree
and using the MEX source code of the program. Precompiled MEX binaries
don't run at all. (no surprise). Therefore the biggest thing for me is..
finding more mex source code so I can learn the language as well as
expirement with whats out there.
