- Reviews:
-
- From Windows Magazine, Sept 94: WinNET Mail and News is much
- more robust and easy-to-use than Internet Anywhere. ... WinNET
- makes an excellent choice if e-mail and newsgroups are your only
- considerations. Access through Computer Witchcraft's service is
- easy to set up and not very expensive.

- From: Australian Public Access Network Assocciation 25 April 1994
- Forget all about Helldiver/Waffle/UUCP basterdisations for trying to
- squeeze email/news into your PC running Windows. A new product has just
- been released (9Mar94) called WinNET 2.11, which allows news and mail
- under an integratd Windows enviorment. Initial impressions are that this
- product is very slick.
