Heywood" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Can an IMAP server be used as a message board? Hi Folks - Today I downloaded and installed a DOS version of Pine, PCP_WAT.ZIP. For a packet driver I used EPPPD and NetDial and I got it running just fine. I experimented with using Pine to access my messages on pop.telebot.net and on mail.subdimension.com, both being IMAP servers. I found that I could view messages while they were still on the server, and I could even forward them and reply to them without even deleting them from the server. Upon making these observations, it occurred to me that an IMAP server might very well lend itself for use as a message board. It would most indeed be possible to use an IMAP server for this purpose if the system would allow several persons using the same user name and password to login to an account on an IMAP server and read messages intended for all. Can this be done? Comments, anyone?

Oh yes there is an Advanced CMOS Setup, but you will need a special utility to get into it. Get AMIS2990.ZIP, shareware, c. 1992-1995 by Robert Muchsel. The shareware version is fully functional. A nominal registration fee will provide you with an explanation of even far more advanced setup options than you ever wanted to know about.

I would like to recommend an anti-virus program I found recently, UKVV. In addition to running from the command line, it runs interactively and has a AV TSR (killerm.exe) that monitors your system for irregular activity. For instance, I use a shareware delete utility that modifies itself each time it is run to keep track of it's trial period and when killerm.exe is loaded it pops up a warning box that this program is being changed and offers a choice to allow or stop this activity. Also, when Arachne attempts to load the packet driver, it pops up another warning that a program is attempting to become a TSR and offers a choice to allow or not allow this. I have not tried it with a program that writes to the MBR so I cannot testify that it detects this also. The TSR is about 4k and it will load high and can be unloaded (depending of course whether anything has been loaded high afterward) from the command line. The package is a bit dated (Oct 1998), but I have been in email contact with the author and he has promised to send a virus update for it, though I have not received it yet. You can find the program by doing a search for UKVV on any of the search engines as it is widely available on all of the SIMTEL mirror sites. BTW, the whole program will fit on a 360K floppy so it is a good choice for older XT machines without higher capacity drives. Regards, Dale Mentzer Chaos, panic and disorder...my work here is done.

But if you want to see headers & manipulate your mail without having to d/l from server, you can do that at mailstart.com and probably a half dozen othe web sites. Check it out and see if it will work for you; it even allows you to select more than one piece of jun^H^H^He-mail to delete at the same time. l.d. ==== On Fri, 18 Feb 2000 21:20:21 -0500, Samuel W.

Best" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: OT: "Any Browser" I subscribe to a couple of weekly type news/views le-tters and recently noticed a change. It perhaps has to do with AOL 5.0 or ??? Instead of putting links in in the "normal" way, they have been changed to something like this: <A Http://fillinthe.spaces.com "This is a link" /A><Click Here> Since I'm trying to get a website up, which will consist primarily of links, does anyone know if the blasted "<Click Here>" format is now required by AOL software? The site I set up has to be usable by *any* browser, including Mac & Apples On Landing. Anyone have a definitive answer? Thanks l.d. - -- "Madam, there is no such thing as a tough child.
