Rock is one of the smallest Point mailers available for the Amiga.
It's written using the WPL and Arexx languages.

Rock is pretty easy to install and to configure, is not memory and disk
space hungry, and allows to call the all the different phone numbers of
your boss if the line is busy.

For calls to other systems than the boss, it can make use of the nodelist
if you already have installed the traplist.library, otherwise it asks for
the phone number. (Note that traplist.library is free, but TrapList is a
shareware program).

To keep things simple, the available protocols are WAZOO for session
negociation and ZEDZAP for file transfer.

An example configuration file (ROCK.cfg) and the related doc (RockCfg.doc)
are given.

Be sure to read Rock.DOC or Rock.guide before trying anything else.

Rock is Card/MailWare.
