- reading and answering QWK formatted mail systems.

- FIRST TIME SETUP AND CONFIGURATION:
-
- First time execution of QMP puts you into the Configuration
- screen. Edit the filenames and paths to suit your needs.
-
- Note: Decompression utility should include the switches to extract
- and overwrite. Compression utility should include the switch to
- add or update files to the packet. Recommended settings are shown
- using PKZIP and PKUNZIP as examples at initial startup.
-
-
- All configuration data is stored in the text file called QMP.CFG.
- If you wish, you can edit the file with any text editor providing
- these rules are adhered to:
-
- a)The sequence and number of items in the file must not be altered.
-
- b)Each line should be no longer than 80 characters. Longer lines
- are truncated to 80 characters.
-
- c)Comments, if used, must be kept behind semicolons.
-
- d)The editor must not insert any hidden formatting or control
- characters into the text. If in doubt about your editor, edit it
- within QMP by selecting "C" (Configure) at the first screen.
-
- e)Pathnames MUST end with a "\".
