- Argghh NOT again. Read, and read carefully. I run a BBS using Waffle
- v1.65, I love it, it works fine. What I WANT is an offline system, such
- as Waffline, that allows my USERS to call up my BBS, compile and download
- all new messages and upload their replies. Most of my users do NOT want to
- load up Waffle on their computers, some of them CANT. So please, no more,.
- "Why don't you use Waffle?' I do, they don't.
