Son of BONK (SOB) is a PM clone of BONK originally authored by Tom
Kashuba. SOB is currently not the mature product that BONK curently
is. SOB will mature in phases.
Phase 1: This phase will include only the outbound
processing. While this phase is undergoing beta
testing, I hope to implement the online help. I will
also consider enhancements during this period.
Phase 2: This phase will implement version 7 nodelist support.
What you see of SOB has taken me 3 months to complete. This means
that I have been extremly busy and have not been able to put the time
into SOB that I have wanted. If I do not seem responsive to your
questions, please be assured that I am not ignoring you.
*** Quick Start ***
When you load SOB for the first time, you will be prompted for
configuration information. The only information that is required is
your node number and the nodelist and outbound directories. The
other information is for possible future enhancements. This
information is stored in a file called SOB.INI located in directory
that was current when SOB was loaded. If you delete this file, you
will be presented with the configuration dialog the next time you
load SOB. You may also change your configuration information by
clicking on "Options" from the menu bar then select "Configuration".
When loaded, SOB display the files in you outbound. Double clicking
on any entry will cause a pop-up menu to be displayed with several
actions you are allowed to perform.
Clicking on "Misc" on the menu bar gives you other useful options.
That's about if for a quick start. If you have any bug reports,
please send them to me at 1:106/202, or post them in the Binkley
echo.
