- Short: FIDO net mail/news reader/tosser
-
- The Foozle Mail Manipulation System ("Foozle") is a fast
- FidoNet-compatible message-editor/tosser/scanner/packer. In
- simpler terms it is a program to import messages from other
- FidoNet-systems into your local database, to export messages to
- other FidoNet-locations, to read and write messages and to do some
- other nice things.
-
- If you previously worked with some fidonet-compatible software
- on your Amiga, Foozle will merely replace CE / CM / FastPoint /
- GCC(host) / Juliet / oMMM / PointManager / RMB / TrapToss or
- whatever you have used in one single program. Only a mailer is
- lacking, so you have to use one of the existant mailers like
- BinkleyTerm, TrapDoor or WelMat. Actually, this program is
- designed to be run with TrapDoor version 1.74 or higher, but it
- also works with other mailers and other versions of TrapDoor.
-
- All parts of the program are written in assembly language for
- the reason of speed and comfort.
-
- Foozle is designed to work with a HardDisk and at least 1MB of
- RAM. If you want to keep a message base with typically more than
- 20-30 areas - depending on the other utilities you run in the
- background - it is recommended to have even more free store.
- Foozle needs about 200KB for the program, its buffers and the
- screen. Each area uses at least 2KB (if you do not have a dupe-
- table and less than 100 messages). But remember: if you want to
- im- or export, you also need memory for the archive-utility (about
- 150KB) and for fast exports you should store all temporary files
- in the ram-disk which can also absorbe quite a bit of memory.
