These software tools provide an easy way receive and send news/mail using a TCP/IP connection (like AmiTCP, AS225, MLink, etc). Tools are provided that should satisfy both shell and GUI users.
All the TCP programs will work both under AmiTCP and AS225r2 (and compatible TCP/IP stacks). The current TCP/IP stack in use will be automatically detected and used.
GetTCP is used for getting mail and news, while SendTCP is used for sending mail and news that you have written, joining and resigning newsgroups, etc.
ConnectTHOR is used for integrating these programs into a single program. It also contain a nice news browser what will let you select a newsgroup and download only the articles you want be selecting them from a list with dragselection.
GetTCP and SendTCP can both be started from shell with arguments that will override the configuration settings. If you want, you can run these automatically from eg. a startnet script.
Starting with THOR 2.3, ConnectTHOR and CfgTCP now use the ClassAct BOOPSI layout system.
