It -IS- a BBS system. So is Future Vision, but I am working on an Elm and Rn
reader for MSH and the Metal UUCP software.

MSH is a "Unix" shell emulator for METAL that is designed more for people that
just want to use METAL as a quick programming environment or as a shell for
reading E-mail / News. I can't promise when the Elm or Rn programs will be
finished for this, but I can say that people will be able to use this as a
sort of "Offline Reader" or as an actual UUCP feed. It's being designed to
specifically offer the functionality of a "Personal UUCP Feed"  without the
overhead that FutureVision requires. It is still in it's infancy, but you CAN
FTP a copy of the MSH software from the FTP site.

tfsp.saic.com /pub/metal/incoming/msh.s

It's completely self contained, so you won't need any includes with it.

Perhaps someone wants to offer some help towards the project? :) I can't do
EVERYTHING by myself and everything that I release for METAL is Freeware
anyways! :)
