PCELM
=====
PCELM is an external electronic mailer program which can either
be called from NOS (with the NOS 'mail' command) or directly from
the DOS prompt.
PCELM has a friendly menu-driven interface, and is largely
self-explanatory. It contains a built-in text editor, support
for message address filtering, screen colour mapping and other
very useful features. PCELM prompt messages and error messages
are kept in a separate file, which you can edit into your own
language if required.
Before use, PCELM requires a startup file (PCELM.RC) to specify
certain initial parameter settings. See the MASTERS directory
for an example.
Also, PCELM requires that certain DOS environment variables be
set up before use.
In particular, it is essential that the HOME variable is set up
correctly, defined with a D-O-S pathname, N-O-T a SUBSTituted
drive name.
For example, PCELM will work properly if you define HOME as:
SET HOME=C:\NOS <<<<<<<< THIS WORKS
but will NOT work if you set HOME as:
SET HOME=N:\ <<<<<<<< THIS DOES N-O-T WORK
See !NOSINIT and NOSENV.BAT for further details.
[PCELM is probably the mailer of choice, offering far more
features than BM or ELM or the built-in NOS mailbox].
WARNING: PCELM is LARGE! You will need to make as much
convential RAM available as possible if you want to start PCELM
from NOS (with the 'mail' command). Otherwise you will have to
run PCELM independently (from the DOS command line), or run ELM.
