I'd just like a add a vote of confidence in the HP version of elm - it's
really not that different from the Usenet version (which I used for a
long time before I joined HP).  There are differences but depending on
the way you use the system they may not be noticeable.

I'm quite happy (though not ecstatic) with the version of elm in 7.0
(which I've been using for a few months) and the conversion of the rc
files was not a big problem - it took only a few moments and was a
one-off.

I have nothing against the Usenet version, but by using HP-Elm it saves me
having to compile and maintain the Usenet version.
