    As opposed to your claim that there never was an FTN mailer running on an 8-bit system, you mean?

    I made no such claim. What I stated was that I did not KNOW of any such systems.

    Henri has provided the information that showed such systems DID exist. Running on an Acorn system. Thereby disproving your claim:

    In case you didn't know it, Fidonet is and has always been a DOS
    based network.

    Which claim was a smoke screen.


    Cheers, Michiel
