Blat is a command line SMTP mail client for Windows NT/95/98

Blat version 1.7 has just been released. This version has the following
enhancements:

 - Blat now closes connections with SMTP servers more gracefully
   (i.e. it listens to port 25 until SMTP server sends goodbye)
 - Blat no longer includes a CTRL-Z character at the end of a 
   message that was typed from the console
 - Blat no longer outputs an error message when it is first 
   installed
 - -hostname <hst> option to select the hostname used to send the 
   message
 - Two binary-encoding options:
        -base64     to encode the message in Base64 
        -uuencode   to encode the message in UUEncode
   with either of these two options Blat can now be used to send
   binary files, a feature much awayted.
 - This binary executable of Blat is statically linked to 
   gensock. This means that Blat no longer needs the file gensock.dll

The archive zip file (Intel: Blat17i.zip, DEC Alpha: Blat17a.zip) can 
be obtained from the usual places (although both SimTel and CICA will 
take some time to move the package to the right place). To select the
ftp site near you please use the Blat WWW home page at:

Note that a version 1.6 was never released officially.

Enjoy!
