What is Waffle ?

news.answers/waffle-faq

In addition, there is a built-in editor, file upload/download, and the ability to hook in external programs and gateway to (or from) other packages. DOS Waffle supports (but does not require) external Fossil drivers to allow use of high speed modems and allows an MSDOS PC to be a fully RFC compliant USENET node. It also provides the UUCP-based transport mechanism that generally comes with unix systems.

It is trimmer and slightly less heavier than the Fleece.
