We are running Microsoft Mail to our EXTREME dismay and cannot get any support from MS regarding MSmail and A/UX. I called them up and talked to their support people who kindly informed me that Microsoft will not be porting their client software to A/UX until they can get a server running under A/UX first. Talk about bone jaring stupidity! Companies like this should realize how many customers they will lose from their lack of support. Making the MS Mail DA and INIT 32 bit clean should not be too difficult (after all, they *did* follow the Apple guidelines, *didn't* they?). Also, I really don't care to waste an A/UX machine by making it run MS Mail in the background. That is what my old Pluses and SEs are for :-). Anyway, I hope CE does a better job than Microsoft at this type of support (lord knows they can't do any worse)! Mike. #include -- Mike Temkin mst@csun.edu Cal. State U.
