Inter-Node Message Sender for TEMPEST BBS!
******************************************
This is version 1.6 of The Professor's Internode Message Sending Door.
The 'editor call' was written by Tim Hatzenbeler & only modified &
moderately updated by me. The user interface is based on my WHO.
This is a inter-node messaging tool, Where you can send messages back
and forth in real time on a multi-node system.

This Program will operate correctly on any TEMPEST BBS system, of up to
6 nodes reguardless of system configuration. WB 1.3 & 2.0 68000 & 68030
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
place the following in your
BBS:optional/mainmenu.opt & BBS:optional/filemenu.opt
[*,*,*,*,*] = SEND | T-DOOR|DOORS:NSEND16
If you are running a older version of Tempest and it does not support
the .opt files, you'll have to install it as a door. from the door menu.
Place the doors in your bbs:doors/ or where you have DOORS: assigned.
On newer versions of Tempest it may be installed as a door or a module.
You may also want to make appropriate menu edits.
Also since this tool can tie up the bbs for along time & will tie up
not just 1 node but 2 or more you may wish to limit it to only high
access callers
ie: [100-,*,*,*,*] = SEND | T-DOOR|DOORS:NSEND16 and only users with
access of 100 or above can use it.
NOTE: >>> Also you must place the pro-who.cfg file in your S dir. <<<
