Maybe there was industry insider knowledge about the rift that  
was building between MS and IBM, and the big software players  
were reluctant to invest doubling up on two versions for their  
products. And the consumer was none the wiser. But I do recall  
that IBM made it cost prohibitive for their Developer Kit.

I really enjoyed using the FleetStreet/2 FTN message reader.
