    Geez, I had completely forgotten about it.  The only reason I upgraded to
ICQ99a was so I could have message lengths over 450 characters.  I'd love to

    The one I was looking at used SLRN style score files (a requirement) and
did have nice offline capability.  So most likely, if you're right, it wasn't
XNews.  It also was free.
