- PATRICK PRITCHARD wrote recently that "PC-PunterNet - The Personal Network"
- which is an outgrowth of the original "BBS64" program (and of the PET bbs
- by Steve Punter) was "dead" and that "Conference 64" traffic had ground to
- a halt.
-
- While it's true that "CONF" 64 is essentially moribund in its present
- condition I'm not convinced that the shareware model for Commodore -related
- internetworking demonstrated by PCPN is entirely without value. I personally
- run and distribute the shareware so I think I know a bit of what I'm typing
- about... it's not clear to me that PATRICK PRITCHARD shares my depth of
- experience but to each his (or her) own.
-
- Of recent I've been experimenting with Lotus Notes, Worldgroup, and
- World-Wide Web (WWW) applications. My version of the PCPN install guide
- is commonly available... over to you, Pat etc.
