You might want to check out comp.lang.perl.modules .  Whether or not
you actually write the whole thing in Perl  (which looks as though it
would be an option),  I vaguely remember various modules to do many of
those things (don't know about CRON under Win3.X, though).  Perl
modules are (nearly) always provided in source code format.

Hope this helps.

I have formed a club recently, with a few devoted subscribers....

How to I send them all the same letter, but without putting each 
name in individually....I am sure there is a way...as the bulk 
emails can do it...but how ?

Can someone please help me !

Use the distribution list feature.

Read the help file on Distribution lists. 

Basically it's a plain text file with one address per line. Pegasus
allows you to automate the process whereby people on the list can send
messages themselves to the list without your intervention (apart from
you having to log on to collect mail).

Hope this helps a little.

Gary.
