April V1.0
AUTHOR

DESCRIPTION
April is a new FidoNet-compatible tosser and editor for the
Commodore Amiga line of personal computers, specifically aimed at
points. Alot of time was used to make April as user-friendly as
possible, without making her too slow or too inflexible. Together with
a mailer like Trapdoor or Welmat it's now simple to set up a good
working pointsystem...
Some of the features of April are a new format of the messagebase,
a well thought-out userinterface, the speed and the enormous amount of
options to configure April the way YOU want. There are quite some
alternatives for April at the moment like GCCHost, Pointmanager, Foozle
and Chameleon combined with TrapToss, Confmail or another tosser. But
April beats them all in speed, features and ease of use. You can use
the newest FidoNet-technology like 4d addressing, multibossing, linking
of messages based on the MSGID and REPLY kludges. 4D-filenames like
those that are supported by TrapDoor can be used, and the configuration
can be done completely with a very comprehensive GUI. There is a very
complete and easy to use random system available. The memory that
April is allowed to use and the diskspace the messagebase is allowed to
use is fully configurable, and April works in all kinds of display
formats like Interlace, Pal, NTSC, Overscan and 4 or 8 colors.
