Galahad version 1.04
--------------------
Galahad is a blinker/front-end for BIX. BIX (the Byte Information eXchange)
is an online service that offers conferencing, file areas, E-mail and Internet
access to its users. The BIX community is small but of very high quality. The
signal to noise ratio in the conferences is very high and the atmosphere is
very friendly.

Galahad allows the BIX user to read and respond off-line to E-mail,
Conference and Netnews messages as well as select files for download. Once
the user is ready to upload his messages, and download the new ones Galahad
will logon to BIX and transfer at high speed the data and disconnect.
