I have Version 1.1 of Confmail for my Amiga on my BBS. It had been
referenced in the Chameleon docs and fortunately, one of my callers
is a Fido sysop from Sweden was able to track it down and upload it to
my board. I just mailed this to Russell's board.

I just file requested this from Russell and now have it on my board. If
you are interested in being a Fidonet point, have a Fidonet sysop request
these files for you:

Amypoint.arc   Ce010.zoo      Cm110pat.zoo   Cmexe110.zoo   cmdoc100.zoo
Welmt023.zoo   rmb130.zoo     btexe100.zoo   btdoc100.zoo

Cmexe110.zoo, Cm110pat.zoo and Cmdoc100.zoo are the Confmail files and docs
for processing incoming and outgoing mail. Amypoint.arc has a short
documentation file plus a modified version of PKXARC for use with 
confmail.

As Russell mentioned, there are two message editors. I had problems with
RMB crashing my A2000 system, so I switched to Chameleon (ce010.zoo) and
I have had no problems and like it better.

Btexe100.zoo and Btdoc100.zoo are the Amiga versions of Binkleyterm 
although I would recommend using Michael Richardson's Welmat program
(welmt023.zoo).

Though my system is only 2400 baud, it is PCPursuitable and it maybe
cheaper for your sysop to get them from me rather than calling Canada
where Russell is.
