EMS - Electronic Message System

Details

A single machine messaging system that's a bit more user friendly than SNDMSG/DSPMSG. Users can send, reply, copy & delete messages, and you can track through a conversation thread of replies to replies via command keys. Includes an API so that programs can send messages to users. A simple form of group lists is supported. I wrote this back in '94, before I had had much exposure to email & the Internet. It's no Lotus Notes, but it does its job well. Standalone application, probably installs as far back as V3R2?. This was requested following a reply I sent to MIDRANGE-L.
