I hope someone in North America can submit the above Canadian shareware
package to cbip, as I believe that it has many improvements over Telix,
such as: Local editor, ability to pick text and quote it into an outgoing
message (a la unix mailers), script learning mode, EMS support (registered
version only) etc. The main advantage is that the author actually replies to
mail. My PC user group arranged a bulk registration at a 40% discount, and to
date we got over 130 orders. By contrast, our response rate from the author
of telix has been poor. I am willing to elaborate in private mail but not here.
No doubt that Telix will catch up with Telemate and bypass it for a while, but
it is the better program. Note that version 2.00A is an update from 2.00, in
case you have the earlier version.

Our user group, like some others, encourages registration of shareware,
and often we get discounts. Even in the days when Vern Buerg's LIST utility
was true public domain we asked for donations from members and sent him about
US$600.  Some shareware authors don't play the game and don't acknowledge
registrations. I advise our group members not to register such software.
