 To Jan Hofland,

    Under the guise of replying about Pgymy, I'd like to ask a bulletin 
boarding question(s).

    With luck, I may be able to release Pygmy Forth version 1.3 within 1 to  2
weeks.  The Forth part is finished, I think.  There are many questions to 
resolve about the documentation and what to include in the package.

    Now my real question: I seem to have a mental block in dealing with 
computer bulletin boards.  I seem to get along well enough in GEnie now,  but
I've tried logging on to the ECFB and feel very disoriented.  I notice  your
message had an EZ 1.27 tag and the "NET/Mail" connected with it.  What  is
that?  How does it work?  Do I understand that it is possible to log on  to
BCFB (& ECFB) and somehow download all of the new messages in one fell  swoop,
possibly as a ZIP or ARC file?  Then, compose your replies off-line  and
upload a single ZIP or ARC file next time you log on, and have the  system
distribute the various messages to their proper areas?  If so, could  you tell
me how to do it?  Thanks.  -- Frank
