    Hi! Paul,

    I've been running FE in DOS since 1994 (point key). It only comes in DOS or OS/2 flavours, so I know you'll be a little disappointed.

    I can heartily recommend FMail to you, as I've used it... mmm... a long time ago, on a point test system. It was nice and had the same 'feel' as FE. Its website is:

    http://fmail.nl.eu.org/

    There's a 32-bit Windows version for download. Look for their FMAIL_HELP echomail support area too. It might be pay you to ask there as well, if you haven't already done so, or, scan the recent traffic in case someone else has got in first.

    Cheers,
    Paul.

    as long as your Win7 can run DOS programs, it should be fine... the underlying disk format doesn't come into play... that's all transparent to most programs... just don't try to use long file names... 8.3 is still the restriction ;)

    I figured I keep Win7 as 32bit to be on the safe side as well.

    Thanks Mark and Paul for your comments / help ;)

    For reasons unknown to us Paul Hayton said thus to mark lewis:

    FWIW Paul, I run FastEcho here under windows 7 32 bit with no problems at all.
    It's been rock solid for me.

    As long as it is 32-bit it should.
