Hello!
I have. Everything written to the list which supports VM around IBM,
was sent to it that way. That's what was used before they adopted that
kludge also called Notes.

Cory you'll love this one, it originally ran on only OS/2. If you
thought working with the other PC operating systems was a pest and a
nuisance, OS/2 could be worse.

I know. ;)

Out of a group of friends, I was the only one to get TCP/IP working on OS/2.

What is it with me and getting TCP/IP working on esoteric OSes?

I can arrange that! Well no I can't, but it fits my mood. Sampsa, what
that kludge used for sending e-mail out to the people at IBM(!) was OV
and it somehow kept working well into the availability of Notes.

OfficeVision, or PROFS I think it was called.   I actually could be
rather productive with that. Had an account on a system back in 1998
that used it extensively.   Even had an email gateway to the Internet.
(which was a rather big deal back then)   I think it ran on VM?   Would
love to find a clone or rewrite (non-licensed) that ran on MVS 3.8J. :)

  I've heard very good things about PROFS off-and-on over the years.   I
would love to see it.
