Any Questions about or Suggestions for the next release?

[Bill Wood]

Thanks, Xavi. That's interesting. So, PMMail98 can read
and write to an existing HPFS PMMail data base/setup,
even though Win95/98 does not provide operating system
support for HPFS. Does that mean that PMMail98 has
native HPFS support? If this is true, I'll buy some
PMMail98. But this can't be true, because Win95 won't
even see the HPFS drive. ... ??, hmmm, unless I'm
missing your point big time.

The issue is 'coherency' (like with multiple processor
caches) so that both mail apps use the same database
or, if they use separate ones, that both are updated at
the end of each session (or other appropriate times).
If the OS2 database is used to *setup* the 98 database,
but then they go their separate ways, then coherency is
not achieved. This is all very confusing and to do what
I want in a general way is beginning to look deuce
difficult.

As for Navigator, I'm more interested that the setup
and bookmark functions can be merged between OS2 and
Win95. I'll use PMMail for mail.
