Short: EMS 1.0 - Electronic Mail System - powerful tool for handling mails
Type: comm/mail
Author: Davide Massarenti (2:332/505.3@fidonet)
Uploader: Christian Stelter (cosinus@deepthought.north.de)
Description: First public Release - EMS is able to handle Fido and already in
some parts UUCP.
The purpose of EMS is made clear by the meaning of its name: to
manage in an easy and uniform way an Electronic Mail System. The word
"Mail", here, has a wider meaning than that of "Messages", since it als
includes files, much the same way conventional mail also dispatches
parcels.
In an uniform way, I said. In fact, unlike other products, EMS can
be used with FIDONET technology networks AND with USENET-kind network,
with the same kind of interaction. The software takes on itself all
the work required to overcome the differences between different
networks.
EMS is not a single, huge executable file, but rather a set of
modules, configured as run-time libraries, each dealing with a
different task. The whole thing only runs with Kickstart 2.0 or newer:
it's both a choice (Kick 2.0 is a major step onwards if compared with
earlier versions of the O.S), and a necessity, since BOOPSI only comes
with the new operating system.
