What you are missing is the fact that Windows95 does not automatically mean
'Graphical User Interface'. Yarn95 takes advantage of the flat memory model
(not limited to 640K base memory) and it can handle long filenames, so you
can name a folder 'Mail from John', in stead of 'mailjohn' or 'johnmail'.
If you're looking for a GUI for Yarn ... why? Its basic simplicity is what
has kept me using it for 4 years straight. I *do* use some GUI programs
like Eudora Pro (for its PGP plug-in) and Agent (for quickly checking out
newsgroups), but the combination of Yarn and the new UQWK release (with
online scoring) can't be beat.
