Hey, in the early 80's I wrote a mail system in FORTRAN on the HP/1000 series computers. It was fairly limited, but had a pretty slick user interface (user name lookups based on soundex codes, check status of sent mail, etc).
Then we bought a big HP unix mini (an 850 if memory serves) and we tried to move people to unix mail (elm perhaps?), but the users complained so much, I ended up porting my mail system to unix. It ended up being used for several years after I left. -----Original Message----- From: Adam Romain [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2001 11:15 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Migration of mail data The data is from an in house custom mail system written in Cobol!!!! One way to avoid exchange, write your own mail system!! -----Original Message----- From: Roger Seielstad [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 21 November 2001 16:06 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Migration of mail data What the heck is that data?!?!? Anyway, you should be able to format it in such a way that you can import it into Outlook - take a look at Slipstick.com and see what Sue has as reference. MSDN might have something too. ------------------------------------------------------ Roger D.
