- So what about using the best of both worlds? I have written a utility
- that will allow usenet messages and internet email to be imported into
- the TBBS message base. UUCICO can be used to gather news and mail for
- a DOS machine. The Unix version of the program will also convert and
- toss a usenet message base from an existing Unix box, if you have the
- DOS machine on the network. ( I am currently testing this version on
- an AIX RS-6000 machine)
-
- So use your choice of internet access, UNIX or DOS, and use TBBS for
- what it does best... hierarchal message base, easy user interface,
- QWK off-line reader support and all the other good stuff.
