    RW> -> RW> "All" usually sends the message to "All."   
    RW> ->   
    RW> -> Nope, it doesn't.  Writing a message to All in WINServer is like   
    RW> -> write a message to ALL in a FidoNET echo.  a cc is not sent out to   
    RW> -> all your users. Most BBS packages have this feature.  I left a   
    RW> -> message on the WINServer listserver and what I found out is that I   
    RW> -> would need to buy the wcReports package.  Santronics, or Mustang   
    RW> -> Software, made a choice at some point to spread needed features over   
    RW> -> 2, 3 or 4 different programs so that a SysOP was forced to buy 2, 3   
    RW> -> or 4 different programs.  I have spent soooooo much  over the years   
    RW> -> supporting Santronics.... I am just not going to spe other dime so   
    RW> -> that I can cc a message to all my users.   
    RW>    
    RW> So you are wanting to send the same message at once to every user on your   
    RW> system individually?  Seems like an easy job for a wcCODE module to me.    
    RW> But, you are right.  A lot of other BBS packages do have this feature   
    RW> built in.
