    From Scott Brown@1:261/220 to All on Mon Jan 24 12:21:47 2011
    In all the years I have run a bbs, (since early 90's) I have never done anything with allfix. My system now is setup with Argus - gecho - renemail - Renegade. If I wanted to start using allfix, would it be used along with gecho, or would it replace gecho? If anyone could point me in the right direction for information on allfix and what exactly it does I would greatly appreciate it.

    Right now, I would recomend using Gecho in addition to Allfix, as Allfix for processing mail is still very beta.

    I have had discussions with Bob regarding the mail tossing that is currently in
    Allfix, and we both agree that it should be removed from the current version, as it is still quite in it's infancy, and right now, I am more interested in getting the current version into a stable version of File tossing for Dos/Windows/OS2, as it was originally desinged to do.

    Maybe down the line, we may revisit having the mail tosser within this, but the
    current structure still would need a lot of changes to get it working properly.
    There is a full set of documentation at http://www.allfix.com that tells you more about what Allfix can do for processing files.
