-> ViaUUCP?  Also, who developed WildMail, et al?

First and foremost, I need a valid email address so I can send it to
you.  I don't remember if I took the keys out of ViaUUCP!, but if not, I
can just make you one.

As for Wildcat!, Derek Koopowitz wrote v1-3 of Wildmail! and for v3
Eric Cozzi wrote the configuration/utility programs (there was no
configuration program for earlier versions).

For Wildmail! v4, I rewrote everything from scratch. Nothing could be
reused because WC4 had an all new message database structure/design.
Wildmail! v4 was the first decent sized program I had ever written with
WMINFO being my first mid-size one.

Of course, ViaMAIL! was all me.  It's a huge program, nearly twice the
size of Wildcat! (not counting all the ancillary ones).

Regards,

Joe Martin
