- But you (obviously) haven't tried Waffle yet! Waffle provides UUCP mail
- and Usenet Netnews for MS-DOS and Unix systems. The MS-DOS variant is
- shareware ($30) for the executables, and the MS-DOS or Unix sources are
- available for $120. Waffle version 1.65 provides full Usenet support; a
- RN-like newsreader; UUCICO, UUXQT, UUCP, RNEWS, and RMAIL executables; can
- provide a newsfeed for other sites; and can serve as a mail hub for other
- UUCP sites. (The shareware package is available on wsmr-simtel20.army.mil
- (or its mirrors) in file pd:<msdos.waffle>waf165.zip (or the equivalent
- path on mirror sites).)
-
- For more information, check out the newsgroup comp.bbs.waffle, where many
- MS-DOS and Unix Waffle users and sysops will be glad to come to your aid.
-
- (BTW, your posting was read (and this response generated) on a '386-25
- running Waffle 1.65 under MS-DOS 5.0.)
