Here is a note from Timo Salmi the moderator at Garbo regarding a mail
user interface for PC's If PCelm is as good as the UNIX ELM then I should say
it is a must for folks with PC's
******************* CLIP *************************
> Hello Timo,
>> I have uploaded to pc/incoming:
>> PCELM301.ZIP, replacement for PCELM30.ZIP.
>> Please remove PCELM30.ZIP from the archive. Version 3.01 has fixes for
> all known bugs, which were reported up to Jan. 1, 1992. This includes
> the famous "empty mailbox bug", which bothered most users of 3.0.
>> Quoting from the documentation:
>> PCElm is a mail user agent (UA) with a user interface closely
> modeled after the USENET ELM. To avoid confusion, we would like to
> mention that PCElm and USENET ELM are *not* related.
>> PCElm is intended to be used as a drop-in replacement for BM when
> using the KA9Q NOS package or as a replacement for mail.exe when
> using UUPC. It can also be used for other mailsystems, as all relevant
> things for compatibility with MTA's (Message Transfer Agents) are
> configurable.
>> Hilights:
> PCElm has a nice user interface, with easy to learn and easy to use
> commands. UN*X users will already be familiar with the more important
> commands. It can be made to work with just about every mail system
> there is for PC's, as PCElm makes no assumptions at all about the
> underlying network software. Finally, PCElm is multilingual; you can
> make all messages appear in your favorite language. Message files
> for English and German currently exist.
>> Thanks for your work for the community,
>> Wolfgang
