Somewhere there is a LanMan NetMessenging Tool out there that is easier to use than "Network Messenging" included with WSeB et al. I think it is IBM EWS, but not sure. May want to check Hobbes or whatever is left of the EWS repository.

As a side note, if you cant find the original IBM EWS repository, keep looking... someone out there archived it (maybe on the dreamland site? not sure... but I saw it relatively recently).

That "saw it relatively recently" rang a bell here to...

A quick hunt through my Bookmarks for /ews found ftp://os2voice.org/EWS/

You may want to add it to your bookmarks  :-)

OK. Pete.

I'll check it out.

Err.. .I did check it out... it's an empty directory.  :D

Thanks for the tip though, I'll look for another Employee Written Software archive...

Yes, I did clear the browser cache before re-checking.

Here are some of them...

the NetUtil package should (IIRC - which I might not be) contain the tools needed to implement a REXX based replacement for NetMessenger...

Works now. *shrugs*

They might have had a problem when I went up first... didn't have to do anything to get it to work.

Thank you.

... and "Thank-you" RobertM as well.
