There is a PC implementation, called PC QuickMail, but it doesn't work as smoothly as the Mac version. However, a new release is supposed to come out soon. If you have hundreds of PCs, you probably want to look into Banyan Vines rather than Novell, since Vines is much more scalable, user-friendly, and administrable in large multi-server networks. Vines has a very good built-in mail system. Banyan also has a Vines mail to QuickMail bridge. They are about to introduce a Mac Vines package. Wolfgang N.
