Omega Software Solutions announces the coolest shareware release for the
Apple //gs ever... gmail/OL!


Famed Apple // guru and GNO/ME programmer Jawaid Bazyar says of gmail/OL:
--- "It's the best thing to happen to the Apple //gs this year!"


gmail/OL (gmail Off-Line) brings true Off-Line electronic mail reading,
replying, and posting to your Apple //gs computer.  Integrated into
version 1.1 are:

        Message header view and select for quick and easy navigation.
        Quick keys for common functions.
        Full screen message viewing.
        View full or limited headers, YOU decide!
        Email address aliasing!
        Reply to, forward, save, and send new messages.
          - Must have GNO/ME or Orca Shell (2.0+) to launch a shell editor.
        Hands-off modem communications and file exchange.  Everything is
          built in, login and transfer are totally automatic.

Connectivity:
        Source code for mail exchange server protocol (GORP) on UNIX
          systems is included and is public domain.
	FrEdMail BBS systems currently are running as GORP servers.
        ProLine BBS soon to have GORP server component...
          - bug Morgan Davis if you would like to see this REAL soon!
        GORP protocol easy to write for most BBS systems...
          - how about Metal and Warp 6 authors?

Registration for this software is $35.00 US.  You can use it free for
2 weeks and if you like it, please encourage me to program more great
networking utilities by sending in the registration fee.  Version 2.0
will include the capability to receive and reply to USENET news feeds.
Think of your registration as an investment in version 2.0 of gmail/OL!

With your registration you will receive:

        A printed and bound manual.
        The latest version of gmail/OL.
        Technical support.
        One free version update.
        Discounts on other Omega Software Solutions products.

There is one function limitation in this initial release, there is no 
built in editor.  If you are using gmail/OL from the finder, you will 
not be able to reply to, forward, or send new messages.  Those using a 
programming shell such as GNO/ME or the Orca Shell (2.0+) can specify
any shell editor for now.  The first update will include the built in 
editor.  If you register now, this upgrade will be free.
