One comment - Very soon Welmat will be using ZedZap as well, and then at that
time Mike will start to work on other more interesting things.  Stay tuned to
the WELMAT and AMY_POINT conferences for more info.

  If you would like to get involved in Welmat tool Development, just send a 
note - There are always great little things we can get going.

Curious if I could get a little bit of information on this, as I will likely
be able to help.

Other personal preference (Since this is one of the great things about being a
point, that you chose your own environment):  I personally prefer the Juliet 
message system to eithor RMB or Chameleon (And, yes, I worked with the previous
two, for about a year each).  Juliet is more of an 'all in one' package that 
includes a very fast Importer/Exporter so you don't have to deal with 'kludges'
and the like that you have to with Confmail/Fastpoint/Ommm.  It's author
(Gregory Kritsch {atronx!tirith!ggk}) I have also found a lot more receptive to
suggestions than the authors of RMB (No longer involved with Fidonet) or
Chameleon (Always working on other aspects (Clist) and not having put out an
upgrade to CE for quite some time)
