   I generally use BW with BBBS although it also offers Hippo (dunno what that   
   is), Omen, Text format and one other I forget now. It works well and generally   
   looka better formatted than using the BBBS online message ediror as I am now.

   It could use that but there isn't much going on in the way of development in   
   Fidoland anymore. There was a time when FTN was the place to be but that is   
   long gone now, unfortunately.
