I've not seen Free Agent.

Innoval became famous in the OS/2 world witb Post Road Mailer, the Post
Road News. Since then they've been developing in Java. I've lost touch a
bit, but I do know they have a mail client in Java: that was in beta last
year.

If you watch comp.os.os2.announce or post an enquiry to comp.os.os2.apps
you're certain to find out.


btw Anyone here developing in Java should get IBM's java compiler, jikes,
from alphaworks.ibm.com,

Compiles 100% java (no extensions, no subsets). replaces javac. I compiled
my test program in 0.something seconds instead of 8.something. Execution
is slightly better too.
