       Hi, Mark!

    HG>>>> I don't understand why you are using all those external   
    HG>>>> programs when almost everything is built-in into PCBoard.   
      
    RH>>> The reason is simple. I only started with FidoNet and FrontDor   
    RH>>> and the necessary external programs. Only a year or two later I   
    RH>>> bought a PCBoard and used FrontDoor as a boot for PCBoard.   
      
    HG>> OK, I have only used FrontDoor APX (FDAPX) on my office and   
    HG>> laptop machines and that one doesn't require any external   
    HG>> programs.   
      
    ml> it must be noted that there is a huge difference between Frontdoor and   
    ml> Frontdoor APX... the former is a general purpose FTN mailer whereas   
    ml> the latter is an all-in-one point user app... the former can be run   
    ml> stand-alone or in front of a BBS whereas the latter cannot be used to   
    ml> handle mail calls for a BBS at all...   
      
       exactly. FrontDoor 2.32mL can be said for a professional and can do a lot,   
   but requires external programs. For example, he worked for me 10 years ago as   
   a multiline for 4x US Robotics Courier and I was NC for the Czech Republic.   
   FDAPX is for end point and undemanding. In addition, I think that in Windows   
   64 bit does not even work :-(
