Our office has been successfully using a FREE e-mail
software package called Pegasus Mail [or P-Mail] for about a
year.  It comes in various flavors: DOS, Windows &
Macintosh versions are available for the asking.  We are
currently using the Windows version, but many offices on our
campus do not have the hardware to run the current version
of Windows, so they are quite happy with the DOS version.
I haven't had any personal experience with the Mac version,
but if it's half as good as the DOS/Windows versions, it's
worth looking at.

Of course, the best part is that it's FREE...    :-)

The information below should help anyone obtain copies of
this software from sites on the Internet either via FTP or
e-mail.

-----FORWARDED MESSAGE ------------

Pegasus e-mail software is available in versions for DOS,
Windows, and the Macintosh.  All are free to any type of
organization.  There are no license fees, but manuals are
sold for $150 for each version.  (The software has on-line
help and is quite usable without the manuals.)

The current versions of Pegasus are available by
anonymous FTP from many sites; the primary site (where
new releases are first posted) is risc.ua.edu, in directory
pub/network/pegasus.  The file names are:

pmail311.zip -- Pegasus for DOS
winpm111.zip -- Pegasus for Windows
pmmac205.hqx -- Pegasus for Mac
merc112.zip -- Mercury Mail Transport (SMTP mail agent for
Pegasus)

Those without access to FTP can obtain these files by
e-mail.  Two sources are:

Princeton's BITNET FTP Server (BITFTP).  This service is
available to both BITNET and Internet e-mail users.   For
information, send a message to xxxxxx@PUCC (for
BITNET) or  xxxxxx@pucc.princeton.edu (for Internet) with
just the word HELP in the body of the message.

While BITFTP can be used to obtain a wide variety of
software from many FTP sites, Jocelyn Nadeau's Maiser site
is handy for just getting Pegasus.  Send a message to
xxxxxx@FTP.CUSLM.CA with the word INDEX in the body
of the message.

Using either of these two e-mail methods, you will receive
replies that contain Pegasus files that were encoded using a
program called UUENCODE.  To decode them you will need
the corresponding program UUDECODE.  See your computer
support personnel if don't have UUDECODE. (You could
obtain UUDECODE using BITFTP, but it wouldn't do you
much good, since it would have to be decoded before you
could use it.  A chicken-and-egg kind of problem.)
