  Maybe it doesn't, but there are several versions that do...

  Let me get this straight...  You "once", (how long ago and from where?)
downloaded STadel and you're warning people to "watch-out" because that
version didn't have networking capability?  Why???  STadel (Ver.3.x) has 
had networking capability for 4-5 months (if not longer).  The cita-net 
works between IBM, Amiga, and ST versions of Citadel.  I don't think that
any of the CP/M Citadels are networking, but I honestly don't know for
sure...  (Usenet (UUCICO) mail-only capability is being worked on for 
STadel but not currently for IBM or Amiga versions, and will probably 
(knock on wood) be working in a few months.)

  Orc has done his job...  Networking versions of STadel are running in 
several parts of the US and Canada.  You should check in with the system 
where STadel is being developed and get a new version.  The system is
called Pell (don't ask me why..) and is at 612-377-9239.


  The only "problem", if one exists, is one everyone using share/free-ware
should already be aware of.  If you don't go to the source, there's a very 
good chance you might get an outdated copy.  Flaming the hard-working author 
for problems he's already fixed is only likely to gain irritation and not 
much help...
