The new version of the mail reader is available for immediate download from the systems listed at the end of this message. There are three different distribution files; each one contains all of the files necessary for a complete installation. * Blue Wave/OS2 - For OS/2 v2.0 or higher. This is a 32-bit OS/2 text mode program. * Blue Wave/DOS - For any system running DOS or Windows. This is a 16-bit DOS overlayed program. * Blue Wave/386 - For DOS systems with 2MB or more of memory, and an 80386 or higher processor. This is a 32-bit Protected Mode program. In order to keep this message a manageable length, we cannot list all of the new features here. There are over 200 new features and improvements to old features including: * A context-sensitive online help system with 'hot-links' to related topics. * A new Preferences configuration system which allows you to configure the mail reader globally, for each individual BBS, and even for each message area on a BBS -- all driven by an easy-to-use pull-down menu system. * A new message filter system ('Twit' filters, as they are known to some) which is part of the Preferences system. Message filters can be defined globally, by individual BBS, or by message area. * An all new address book editor which supports 'Mailing Lists', and the 'adoption' of names directly into the address book. * An installation program which makes both upgrades and new installations painless; you should be up and running in 5 minutes or less! Here are the names of the files and the size of each of the files. Please ensure that the copy you download still has a PKZIP Authenticity Verification of "# RVH091 CUTTING EDGE COMPUTING".
