[SixClub] Client Software for Radio E-mail Users | Winlink 2000

[doc at kd4e.com]

As I recall Winlink depends upon the installation of a
Microsoft version of windows that is proprietary - which
means it is worthless for Hams who run Apple or Linux.

I agree that we need redundant-layers of communication
networks in cases of disaster, but I don't think stuffing
the solution inside of a proprietary Microsoft 'box' is a
wise choice - it was merely convenient for the developers.

Note here that they are now cooperating with APRS, which is
non-proprietary:  http://www.winlink.org/node/2
