I would like to know more about the bboards features than
is revealed in the ADMIN.doc.  I note the existence of
likely-looking TeX files in papers/bboards.  However, they 
presuppose the existence of some amstex fonts,  and of a file
dcustom.tex (not present), and of (as far as I can tell)
a macro package PhD-TeX.

What is the best place whence to snarf these bits & pieces
of TeX-ness?  Alternatively, does anyone have a PostScript
version of the bboards doc which I could anon ftp?  Or perhaps
a version of the TeX source for the doc which has been
intelligently hacked about into vanilla LaTeX or PlainTeX?

Second question.  Am I alone in feeling a little dissatisfied
with xmh?  Will I get flamed for saying that imho it is *not*
the best thing since sliced bread?  Is there anything better
out there in the way of a front end to mh?  Is there a new
version lurking in the wings?
