The answer is no, and according to the responses I have recieved to such
inquiries, the answer will still be no for quite some time.

My 2 cents worth on this thread:
AOL has a nice interface, but file transfers are Glacial and the file libraries
are nearly identical to anything you could get for free from a good user group
library or by hopping around the Internet. Since last October, GEnie has had
the same rates as AOL, and you can nearly duplicate any of the nice features
AOL has with cookbook Microphone II scripts. (More work reauired for WK 11.99,
but the end result is the same.)

These are opinions, not facts.
