   Hello Ken,

   IMNSHO adding a mail tossers to Allfix was a mistake. There are a number of   
   good tossers around for all current OSs. There is enough choice, Fidonet does   
   not need yet another tosser.   
      
   A Good File manager is another story. Over the years I have been looking for a   
   suitable replacement for Allfix, mainly because I want to get rid of the 16   
   bit stuff and I did not find one that satisfied my needs.   
      
   I would say drop the mail tosser in Allfix. Only the Swiss love Swiss Army   
   knives. Working on the tosser will dilute your time and energy and at best it   
   will be more of the same. Go for the file manager. Allfix is an excellent file   
   manager. What I think most of what remains of Fidonet is waiting for is   
   Windows and Linux versions.   
      
   My 2 cents...   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
