I generally use BW with BBBS although it also offers Hippo (dunno what that
is), Omen, Text format and one other I forget now. It works well and generally
looka better formatted than using the BBBS online message ediror as I am now.

It could use that but there isn't much going on in the way of development in
Fidoland anymore. There was a time when FTN was the place to be but that is
long gone now, unfortunately.
