	All right, now I have a question.  Is Applelink compatible with
Internet mail system?  I don't think address is hard but is there some
characters dropped in transfer? (current [CB]news kills escape and
the Japanese and others are using patched [CB]news, for example).  I've
never mailed to outworld so I'm curious.  Is it RFC compliant?
	And another question.  How can one get Applelink?  Do you have
to be a developper?  What's the merit?  What's the catch?  Thanx in advance.
