Hi,   
      
     This release has the "big" version jump to 2.0, because all the three modules   
     are now compiled with the MingW32 windows compiler. MingW32 is in their own   
     words: 'MinGW, a contraction of "Minimalist GNU for Windows", is a minimalist   
     development environment for native Microsoft Windows applications.' It's a   
     modern free compiler, derived from the gnu c compiler, which is more or less   
     the standard compiler on Linux.   
      
     As my development environment I'm using Code::Blocks   
     .   
      
     I think this is a big step, hence the version jump, and an important move   
     towards Linux compatibility. We are not there yet, but it's next on my   
   agenda.   
      
     Besides the MingW compatibility of the source code, the main new features   
   are:   
     - 'Say Hi to the author' function in the FConfig 'Miscellaneous' menu.   
       Please use this to let me know you are out there!   
     - Using the FTSCPROD.nnn files, as published by the ftsc, for translating the   
       product code in pkt files to product names in the log, instead of the   
       internal table.   
     - BCL reports: On receipt of a BCL file from one of your links, a report   
       netmail with either the full content of the BCL file, or the changes since   
       the last one can be generated.   
     - Inbound and outbound .pkt file backups.   
     - Lots of other small features and bug fixes, which you can read about in   
       the ChangeLog file.   
      
     A warning: If you are not using Binkd as your mailer, or one of the other   
     mailers that use a Binkley Style Outbound: The other outbound styles are not   
     very well tested, for this MingW32 release, because I and the other test node   
     only use Binkd. So if you are a user of an other mailer, I'm very much   
     interested in your experience with this version of FMail, so please let me   
     know! (You could use the new "Say Hi" function for this ;))   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
