    ml>>> yeah, the multimail one would be MM/2 IIRC...   
      
    HG>> Wrong! The OS/2 version is named MMOS2..., the dots representing the   
    HG>> version number. The one I have in the BBS is named MMOS2049.ZIP   
      
    ml>> right... i was talking about what would be on the tear line...   
    ml>> that's generally different than the zip file name or what may be

    HG> You can say that for MultiMail too. All versions have the MM.EXE and

   but we're not talking about file or product names, holger... we're talking

   like this one above (with two dashes instead of three)... if you were using   
   multimail for OS/2, it could easily be   
     --- MM/2 some.version.number   
      
    HG> --- PCBoard (R) v15.22 (OS/2) 2   
      
   and this one from your PCBoard...
