╙END ALL QUESTIONS/COMMENTS/SUGGESTIONS TO:

╞╔─╧ ├┬═/├┬═-128 "┴RTHUR ═OORE" ╒SENET/╔NTERNET "[e-mail]" ├╧╠╧╥
64 ╬ET "┴RTHUR ═OORE" (╠ASER ┬┬╙) OR ADDRESS BELOW.

╫ELCOME TO THE WORLD OF OFFLINE READING.  ╫ITH ╤╫╦IE, YOU CAN READ MORE OF
THE MESSAGE BASES THAT YOU SIMPLY DIDN'T HAVE THE TIME FOR IN THE PAST.
╞IRST, A BRIEF LOOK AT HOW THE .╤╫╦ SYSTEM WORKS, THEN HOW TO USE ╤╫╦IE.  ╘HE
INCREASE OF MODEM USE MAKES IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO HANDLE ALL REGULAR USERS
ON A ┬┬╙.  ┴S THE USER LIST INCREASES, YOUR ONLINE TIME DECREASES.  ┴T THE
SAME TIME, THE NUMBER OF MESSAGES IS ALSO INCREASING--A SEEMINGLY HOPELESS
SITUATION.  ╘HAT'S WHERE THE .╤╫╦ FORMAT STEPS IN.  ╘HE ┬┬╙ CAN COMPRESS THE
MESSAGES THE USER WOULD LIKE TO READ AND TRANSMIT THEM INTO A DOWNLOADABLE
FILE.  ╧NCE THE USER LOGS OFF, HE/SHE DISSOLVES THE MAIL PACKET AND READS THE
MESSAGES.  ╩UST AS ON THE ┬┬╙, THE USER CAN REPLY TO THESE MESSAGES OR POST
NEW MESSAGES, THEN UPLOAD THEM TO THE SYSTEM.  ╘HE ┬┬╙ THEN DISSOLVES THE
REPLY PACKET, "TOSSES" THE MAIL ONTO THE SYSTEM AND THEY APPEAR AS IF THEY
WERE ENTERED ONLINE.  ╘HE BENEFITS ARE TWO-FOLD: ╞OR THE SYSTEM, MORE USERS
HAVE ACCESS, SINCE LESS TIME IS SPENT DOWNLOADING THE COMPRESSED MAIL THAN IT
IS READING IT ALL ONLINE.  ╞OR YOU THE USER, MESSAGES CAN BE READ AT YOUR
LEISURE.  ╘HE DILEMMA OF RUNNING OUT OF TIME IS NEARLY ELIMINATED, AND YOU
CAN READ ═╧╥┼ CONFERENCES THAN YOU COULD HAVE ONLINE.  .╤╫╦ PACKETS MAY
CONTAIN OTHER FILES SUCH AS SYSTEM BULLETINS, HOWEVER ╤╫╦IE DEALS STRICTLY
WITH THE MESSAGES.  .╤╫╦ DOORS VARY SLIGHTLY FROM SYSTEM TO SYSTEM, AND YOU
MAY HAVE QUESTIONS THAT ONLY YOUR SYSOP CAN ANSWER.  ─ON'T HESITATE TO DO SO.
╙YSOPS GENERALLY ENCOURAGE THEIR USERS TO USE THE .╤╫╦ MAIL SYSTEM, AS IT IS
BENEFICIAL TO ALL.

╙ETTING UP YOUR PARAMETERS: ╘HE FIRST THING YOU'LL WANT TO DO IS CONFIGURE
YOUR MAIL PACKETS.  ╘YPICALLY YOU CAN CHOOSE WHICH MESSAGE BASES YOU WOULD
LIKE TO RECIEVE MAIL FROM, AND WHAT TYPE OF MAIL (ALL NEW MAIL OR MAIL TO YOU
ONLY).  ┘OU MAY WANT TO CHOOSE "MAIL TO YOU ONLY" FOR CONFERENCES YOU DON'T
NORMALLY READ, AND "ALL NEW MAIL" FOR THOSE YOU ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN.
╘HIS WAY YOU'LL BE SURE TO RECIEVE ┴╬┘ MAIL SENT TO YOU.  ╬EXT YOU'LL WANT TO
DECIDE THE SIZE OF THE MESSAGE PACKETS.  ╙OME DOORS LET YOU CHOOSE THE
MAXIMUM MESSAGES TO RECIEVE IN ANY SINGLE CONFERENCE, ALONG WITH THE MAXIMUM
TOTAL.  ╞OR EXAMPLE, YOU MIGHT SET YOUR TOTAL NUMBER OF MESSAGES TO 100, BUT
NO MORE THAN 50 FROM ANY SINGLE CONFERENCE.  ╧THER MAIL DOORS JUST ALLOW YOU
TO SET THE TOTAL NUMBER OF MESSAGES, REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY IN EACH BASE.
╫ITH THE CONSTRAINTS OF THE 1541 (1571'S, 81'S OR ╚─'S SHOULDN'T HAVE A
PROBLEM HERE), YOU MUST TAKE TIME TO CONFIGURE PROPERLY.  ╞ROM PERSONAL
EXPERIENCE READING THE ╞IDO ├┬═ AND ├┬═-128 ECHOES, ╔ FIND THIS LIMIT TO BE
ABOUT 110 MESSAGES FOR A SINGLE 1541.  ╘WO 1541'S (OR 1571 IN DOUBLE-SIDED
MODE) SHOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE 160 MESSAGES.  ┘OU WILL FIND THE ╬╒═┬┼╥ OF
MESSAGES IS NOT AS SIGNIFICANT AS THE ╙╔┌┼ OF THE COMPRESSED PACKET (SEE
BELOW).  ╧NCE YOU'VE SELECTED THE MESSAGE BASES AND THE MESSAGE LIMIT, YOU'LL
WANT TO CHOOSE A PACKER/ARCHIVER.  ╘O DATE, THE 64 ONLY SUPPORTS ┴╥├ AND
╨╦╨┴╦ (WHICH ARE FUNCTIONALLY IDENTICAL).  ┴LL THAT'S LEFT NOW IS TO CHOOSE
YOUR TRANSFER PROTOCOL, AND TO DATE, ╪MODEM-1K IS YOUR BEST BET IF YOU HAVE
LITTLE/NO LINE NOISE.  ┘OU CAN REQUEST OTHER ITEMS, SUCH AS SYSTEM BULLETINS,
NEW FILES, ETC, HOWEVER ╔ SUGGEST YOU DO NOT, AS ╤╫╦IE DOES NOT SUPPORT
THESE, AND IT WILL ONLY BULK UP YOUR MAIL PACKET.  ┴SIDE FROM MESSAGE BASE
AND PACKET SIZE (AS YOU MAY WANT TO ADJUST THESE IN THE FUTURE), YOUR
CONFIGURATIONS ARE COMPLETE.  ╬OW YOU CAN START THE PROCESS OF READING AND
REPLYING.  ╔F YOU HAVE A REPLY PACKET GENERATED FROM ╤╫╦IE, YOU'LL WANT TO
UPLOAD IT FIRST.  ╙IMPLY CHOOSE ╒PLOAD REPLIES PACKET FROM THE MAIN MENU AND
COMMENCE THE UPLOAD.  ╘HE ┬┬╙ WILL NOTIFY YOU OF THE MESSAGES ENTERED INTO
THE SYSTEM.  ╬OW YOU MAY DOWNLOAD THE NEW MESSAGES.  ├HOOSE ─OWNLOAD FROM THE
MAIN MENU AND THE SYSTEM WILL SEARCH FOR NEW MESSAGES.  ╧NCE ALL THE MESSAGES
ARE FOUND ╧╥ THE NUMBER OF MESSAGES MATCHES THAT AS SPECIFIED IN YOUR
CONFIGURATIONS, THE SYSTEM WILL PACK (COMPRESS) THE FILE.  ┬EFORE SENDING,
YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED HOW LARGE THE COMPRESSED PACKET IS.  ╘AKE A ╟╧╧─ LOOK AT
THE SIZE.  ╔F YOU ARE RUNNING A SINGLE 1541, THEN ─╥╔╓┼ 55!  55K IS ABOUT AS
LARGE A FILE A SINGLE 1541 CAN HANDLE!  ╔F YOU FIND YOUR MESSAGE PACKETS ARE
CONSISTENTLY 53K AND UP, YOU MAY WANT TO DECREASE YOUR MAXIMUM MESSAGES PER
PACKET BY 5 OR 10 MESSAGES.  ╧NCE A PACKET IS DOWNLOADED, ┘╧╒ ├┴╬ ┴╠╫┴┘╙
╥┼╤╒┼╙╘ ┴ ╙┼├╧╬─ (OR THIRD) ╨┴├╦┼╘ TO RECIEVE THE BALANCE OF THE MESSAGES
(TIME PERMITTING).  ╔ HAVE DOWNLOADED THREE PACKETS IN ONE CALL BECAUSE ╔ HAD
OVER 250 NEW MESSAGES TO READ, AND WAS RUNNING A SINGLE 1541.  ╧NCE YOU'VE
DOWNLOADED ALL THE MESSAGES, YOU'RE ALL SET.  ├HECK OUT THE GAMES DOORS OR
WHATEVER.  ╨ERHAPS CALL ANOTHER ┬┬╙ AND DOWNLOAD YOUR MAIL FROM THERE AS
WELL.

╧NCE OFFLINE: ╬OW THAT YOUR OFFLINE, YOU CAN START GETTING INTO THE MAIL.  ┬E
SURE YOUR MAIL PACKETS ARE ON DIFFERENT DISKS, AND DONT TRY DEARCING TWO MAIL
PACKETS ONTO THE SAME DISK (OKAY 1581/HD/FD'S..  NOT ON THE SAME DIRECTORY).
╔T WON'T WORK.  ┼ACH PACKET ON IT'S OWN DISK.  ╬OW, ╠╧┴─ "QWKIE DE-ARC".
"QWKIE DE-ARC" IS A SPECIAL PROGRAM THAT ╠╧┴─S "├╙╪.┬┴╙" (├HRIS ╙MEETS'
═╙-─╧╙ .┴╥├ ─ISSOLVER).  ╫ITHIN "QWKIE DE-ARC" ARE A FEW PROGRAM LINES THAT
ARE ADDED TO ├╙╪.┬┴╙ TO MAKE DE-ARCING YOUR MAILBAGS SIMPLE.  ╬╧╘┼: ╔╘ ╔╙
╔╠╠┼╟┴╠ ╘╧ ─╔╙╘╥╔┬╒╘┼ "├╙╪.┬┴╙" ╫╔╘╚ ╘╚┼ "╤╫╦IE ─┼-┴╥├" ═╧─╔╞╔├┴╘╔╧╬╙

"QWKIE DE-ARC" AND "├╙╪.┬┴╙" ARE MERGED, THE PROGRAM WILL START
AUTOMATICALLY.  ╠╧┴─ING "├╙╪.┬┴╙" AND RUNNING IT SEPERATELY WILL STILL ALLOW
YOU TO DE-ARC THE MAILBAG.  ╚OWEVER, THE MODS CONTAINED WITHIN "QWKIE DE-ARC"
WILL INSTRUCT ├╙╪.┬┴╙ TO DE-ARC ONLY THE NECESSARY FILES.  ╫ITH ├╙╪.┬┴╙ AT
WORK, YOU'LL BE ASKED FOR THE NAME OF THE ARCHIVE.  ╘HIS WOULD BE THE FILE
YOU DOWNLOADED.  ╬╧╘┼: ├╙╪.┬┴╙ ADDS ".ARC" TO THE END OF THE FILENAME IF IT
DOESN'T END WITH THOSE CHARACTERS.  ╙INCE THE ┬┬╙ OFFERS THE FILE WITH A .╤╫╦
EXTENSION, ENTER THE COMPLETE FILENAME AS ON DISK AND ADD AN ASTERISK (*).
╘HIS WILL NEGATE THE ".ARC" THAT ├╙╪.┬┴╙ TACKS ON.  ╬OW ANSWER THE PROMPTS
FOR INPUT AND OUTPUT DRIVES.  ╔F "QWKIE DE-ARC" IS INSTALLED, YOU WILL BE
ASKED TO USE THE ╤╫╦IE AUTO DE-ARC.  ╔F YOU DECLINE, ├╙╪.┬┴╙ WILL RUN AS
USUAL.  ┴NSWER "YES" AND YOU WILL BE ASKED IF THE OUTPUT DRIVE IS A 1541 OR
1571.  ┴NSWER "YES" HERE, AND THE MAILBAG IS WRITTEN TO DISK IN SUCH A WAY TO
INCREASE ACCESS SPEEDS WITHIN ╤╫╦IE.  ╧THER DRIVES ARE ALREADY AT OPTIMAL
SETTINGS.  ╔F YOU ARE USING A SINGLE 1541, NOW IS THE TIME FOR COFFEE.
─E-ARCING A MAILBAG OF 200 BLOCKS IS NOT SOMETHING YOU'LL WANT TO EYEWITNESS.
(╬OTE: ┴LTHOUGH ╤╫╦IE 1.0 DOES NOT SUPPORT 17XX ╥┼╒'S, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO
USE ╥┼╒ AS AN ╔╬╨╒╘ DRIVE WITH ╥┴═─╧╙ INSTALLED.) ╘HANKS TO "QWKIE DE-ARC",
YOU WON'T HAVE TO SIT IN FRONT OF YOUR MONITOR WAITING FOR PROMPTS, AS THE
NECESSARY FILES ARE AUTOMATICALLY DE-ARCED, AND THE UNUSED FILES ARE
BYPASSED).  ╔F FOR SOME REASON YOU ARE ╬╧╘ USING "QWKIE DE-ARC", DE-ARC ┴╠╠
FILES WITH .NDX AND .DAT EXTENSIONS.  ├HOOSE FILETYPE 'S' (SEQUENTIAL FILE)
AND ╬╧ ╨┼╘╙├╔╔ TRANSLATION.  ╧F COURSE, "QWKIE DE-ARC" ALREADY KNOWS THIS.

┴LL DISSOLVED: ╬OW YOU'VE DE-ARCED THE MAIL.  ┘OU MAY WANT TO FLICK THE POWER
SWITCH OFF AND ON IF YOU'RE USING A 1541, AS IT IS PROBABLY A BIT ORNERY BY
NOW.  ├HECK THE BLOCKS FREE ON YOUR MAIL DISK.  ╔F YOU HAVE LESS THAN 30
BLOCKS FREE AND ARE RUNNING A SINGLE DRIVE, YOU MAY WANT TO SCRATCH THE .ARC
FILE TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM FOR ANY REPLIES OR POSTS YOU MAY
MAKE.  ╫ITH THAT OUT OF THE WAY, WE CAN NOW READ THE MAIL.

╤╫╦IE: ╠╧┴─ AND ╥╒╬ "BOOT.QWKIE".  ╘HIS WILL DISPLAY AN IMPORTANT ╘╔╘╠┼
SCREEN (BE NICE AND READ IT ;] ).  ┴FTER A SHORT PAUSE IT WILL BOOT THE MAIN
PROGRAM.  ╔F THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME ╥╒╬NING IT, TAKE A MOMENT TO READ THE
╤╫╦IE INFO.  ╒SE THE CURSOR UP/DN KEY TO MOVE THE HI-LITE BAR, THEN ╥┼╘╒╥╬ TO
MAKE YOUR SELECTION.  (╘HANKS FOR READING THE AUTHOR'S NOTES!  ;] ) ╬OW SET
YOUR DRIVE DEVICES.  ═OVE THE CURSOR BAR AND PRESS ╥┼╘╒╥╬ TO CHANGE THE
═┴╔╠┬┴╟ AND ╥┼╨╠╔┼╙ DEVICES TO SUIT YOUR SYSTEM.  ╙ELECT READ MESSAGES AND
YOU'RE READY TO ROLL.  ╔F THIS IS THE FIRST TIME YOU'VE READ MAIL FROM THE
CURRENT DISK, ╤╫╦IE WILL SCAN THE "MESSAGES.DAT" FILE.  ╘HE RESULTS OF THE
SCAN ARE SAVED TO THE DISK AND LOADED BACK IN FOR FUTURE READS.  ╬EXT THE
CONFERENCE TITLES ARE READ IN FROM "CONTROL.DAT".  ╧NCE COMPLETE, YOU CAN
SELECT WHICH CONFERENCE YOU WOULD LIKE TO READ FROM WITH A SLIDING BAR MENU
SIMILAR TO THE MAIN MENU.  ┘OU MAY READ THE MESSAGES IN FORWARD OR REVERSE

╚YBRID SCAN/READ: ╘HE FIRST MESSAGE HEADER IS NOW PRESENTED.  ╩UST LIKE THE

TRIM OFF THE FAT).  ┴ MAXIMUM OF 72 CHARACTERS PER LINE CAN BE ENTERED (WORDS
WRAP AUTOMATICALLY), AND A 97-LINE LIMIT IS IMPOSED (SUFFICIENT FOR MOST).
╨RESSING ╥┼╘╒╥╬ ON A BLANK LINE WILL PRESENT THE EDITOR MENU.  ╙PECIAL ┴╙├╔╔

╞ROM THE EDITOR MENU, YOU MAY ├ONTINUE ADDING TEXT TO THE END OF YOUR

ALSO), ╙AVE THE MESSAGE AND EXIT THE EDITOR, OR ╤UIT THE EDITOR WITHOUT
SAVING THE MESSAGE.  ╨RESS THE FIRST LETTER OF YOUR DESIRED SELECTION.
┼NTERING AN INVALID NUMBER FOR ╔NSERT AND ─ELETE WILL ABORT THESE FUNCTIONS.
┼XITING THE EDITOR (╙AVE OR ╤UIT) RETURNS YOU TO THE MESSAGE MENU.

┴LL DONE READING AND REPLYING: ╔F YOU'RE FINISHED READING, REPLYING AND
POSTING NEW MESSAGES, CHOOSE ├OMPLETE .REP PACKET FROM THE MAIN MENU.  ╘HIS
WILL PREPARE YOUR MESSAGES FOR UPLOADING.  ╔F YOU FAIL TO COMPLETE YOUR
MESSAGES, YOU WILL FIND THE FILE "INCOMPLETE.REP" IN YOUR DIRECTORY.  ╠OAD
╤╫╦IE AND COMPLETE THIS FILE BEFORE YOU FORGET!  ╤╫╦IE WILL LOOK TO THE
REPLIES DRIVE FOR YOUR MESSAGES, AND WORK IT'S MAGIC TO FINISH OUT THE
REPLIES.  ╧NCE COMPLETE, YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED OF THE NAME OF THE FILE YOU
SHOULD UPLOAD TO THE ┬┬╙.  ╔F YOU HAVE NOT FINISHED WITH YOUR MESSAGES, DO
NOT COMPLETE THE PACKET, AS IT IS IRREVERSIBLE (WELL, AT LEASE FOR V1.0 IT
IS).  ╔F YOU ACCIDENTALLY COMPLETE THE .REP PACKET, ALL YOU'LL NEED TO DO IS
RENAME THE FILE OF THE COMPLETED FILE TO SOMETHING LIKE "REP1", THEN REPLY
AND POST AS NECESSARY.  ├OMPLETE THE NEW FILE, AND THEN YOU WILL HAVE ╘╫╧
FILES TO UPLOAD WHEN YOU CALL NEXT, "REP1", AND THE NEWLY COMPLETED FILE.
╙OMETIMES YOU'LL FIND IT NECESSARY TO DOWNLOAD MORE THAN ONE MAIL PACKET FROM
THE SAME ┬┬╙.  ╬OT A PROBLEM.  ├OMPLETE EACH .REP FILE ON EACH DISK, THEN
UPLOAD ┼┴├╚ OF THE FILES TO THE ┬┬╙ (THEY WILL ALL HAVE THE SAME COMPLETED
FILENAME).

╠IMITATIONS (AND HOW TO CIRCUMVENT):

═┼╙╙┴╟┼╙.─┴╘ - CANNOT EXCEED 2040 BLOCKS (SPLIT THE FILE INTO MULTIPLE
MAILBAGS).

├╧╬╞┼╥┼╬├┼╙ - NO MORE THAN 20 PER MAILBAG (SPLIT THE FILE, OR RENAME THE
DIFFERENCE.  ╔F YOU HAVE 25 CONFERENCES IN YOUR MAILBAG, READ THE FIRST 20,
THEN DELETE OR RENAME THE FIRST 5 .NDX FILES.  ╘HIS WILL GIVE YOU ACCESS TO
THE FINAL 5 CONFERENCES).

├╧╬╞┼╥┼╬├┼╙ - MUST BE NUMBERED BETWEEN 000-999.  (╬O FIX.  ╙TILL GATHERING
INFO TO SUPPORT SUCH)

═┼╙╙┴╟┼╙ PER ├╧╬╞┼╥┼╬├┼ - NO MORE THAN 1535 PER CONFERENCE.  (╔S THIS ╥┼┴╠╠┘
A PROBLEM??  ╫ILL PROBABLY DECREASE QUITE A BIT IN THE FUTURE!)

╥EGISTRATION INFORMATION: ╤╫╦IE 1.0 IS AN UNFINISHED PROGRAM.  ╫HILE IT IS
VERY USEABLE, IT SUFFERS IN PRACTICALITY A BIT, SINCE THERE IS NO WAY TO SAVE
A MESSAGE TO DISK FOR FUTURE REFERENCE, NOR CAN YOU PUT TEXT FROM A FILE INTO
A MESSAGE UNLESS YOU TYPE IT YOURSELF.  ╔T IS ALSO LACKING IN ╥┼╒ SUPPORT.
╫HILE DISK ACCESS FROM MESSAGE TO MESSAGE IS DECENT, IT COULD BE BETTER.  ┴ND
NATURALLY, THE 64 IS A 40 COLUMN MACHINE, AND READING MESSAGES MADE FOR A 80
COLUMN MACHINE ISN'T PERFECT.  ┴ND BESIDES...READING OFFLINE IS NO FUN
WITHOUT CUSTOMIZE TAGLINES!  ╙UCH ADDITIONS CAN BECOME REALITY, BUT ONLY FOR
REGISTERED OWNERS.  ╥EGISTER ╤╫╦IE AND YOU WILL RECIEVE THE CURRENT VERSION,
WHICHEVER THAT MAY BE.  ╘HE NEXT UPGRADE WILL BE SHIPPED TO YOU FOR FREE (IF
