- Description: First public Release - EMS is able to handle Fido and already in
- some parts UUCP.
-
- The purpose of EMS is made clear by the meaning of its name: to
- manage in an easy and uniform way an Electronic Mail System. The word
- "Mail", here, has a wider meaning than that of "Messages", since it als
- includes files, much the same way conventional mail also dispatches
- parcels.
-
- In an uniform way, I said. In fact, unlike other products, EMS can
- be used with FIDONET technology networks AND with USENET-kind network,
- with the same kind of interaction. The software takes on itself all
- the work required to overcome the differences between different
- networks.
-
- EMS is not a single, huge executable file, but rather a set of
- modules, configured as run-time libraries, each dealing with a
- different task. The whole thing only runs with Kickstart 2.0 or newer:
- it's both a choice (Kick 2.0 is a major step onwards if compared with
- earlier versions of the O.S), and a necessity, since BOOPSI only comes
- with the new operating system.
