- THOR -
Release 2.2
Copyright (C) 1993-1995 Ultima Thule Software,
All Rights Reserved.
THOR 2.2 is an advanced multi-format offline reader, supporting the
QWK, Fido, UUCP, SOUP, Bluewave, Omen, ABBS, MBBS and Hippo (BBBS)
message formats. It will also handle TCP-connections with NNTP, SMTP
and POP3.
This is the Internet archive and requires thor22_main.lha to function.
*********************************************************************
********************** !!! IMPORTANT !!! ****************************
*********************************************************************
We have changed the method used for news collection in the TCP modules
starting with this release. This is mainly for 2 reasons:
- The old method using "NEWNEWS" put a heavy load on the newsserver.
- If news collection was aborted for some reason, you would get all
the news already collected in the next session.
When using these new modules for the first time, you might get
duplicated articles. This is only the first time you collect news
with ConnectTHOR/GetTCP. If you do not want this, do the following:
- Get news with the old modules so that you are up-to-date.
- Install these new modules.
- Select Config TCP from ConnectTHOR and set "max msgs" to 5 (or so).
- Collect news again, this time using the new method.
- Set back the "max msgs" to "Don't use" or whatever you want it to
be.
*********************************************************************
To install this archive on a system already installed with THOR 2.2,
do the following:
Copy #? `getenv THOR/THORPATH` all
Execute s/cfgtcp
Execute s/cfgtcp_online
Execute s/cfguqwk_soup
Execute s/cfgsoup
Execute s/cfguucp
