Steve,
I am a registered user of both PMMail and PMINEWS for OS/2. I now use Linux more
and more and I would support SouthSoft if they ported PMMail/PMINews to Linux. I
do not expect a free program. Yes there are some great free programs for Linux,
but I would Buy PMMail/PMINews for Linux. Bob & Ike need our support.
