What is MultiMail? ------------------ MultiMail is an offline mail packet reader for Unix and other systems. (This version also compiles under MSDOS, with DJGPP or Turbo C++; OS/2, with EMX; Win32, with RSX/NT or Borland C++; and BeOS.) It currently supports the Blue Wave, QWK, OMEN, SOUP and OPX formats. It uses a simple curses-based interface. MultiMail is free, "open source" software, distributed under the GNU General Public License (q.v.).

I've personally used it on: Operating Systems: Linux, Solaris, NetBSD, DOS, OS/2, Windows, BeOS Processors: i386, Sparc, m68k, Alpha, i86 Compilers: GCC (including DJGPP, EMX, and RSXNT), Compaq Alpha (w/ GNU make), Borland C++ Libraries: ncurses, Solaris curses, PDCurses If you get it going on a dissimilar system, please let me know (along with any necessary patches). Or, let me telnet to your machine, and I'll try porting it myself. :-) Credits ------- MultiMail was originally developed under Linux by Kolossvary Tamas and Toth Istvan.
