-
- The PMS is written to run as an application under BPQcode (4.05 or greater).
- The computer should be a 286/386/486 PC compatible. The PMS code will NOT work
- on a XT (8086/8088 cpu) system, sorry!
- The PMS requires MSDOS >=3.3 or DRDOS >=5.0, and 640K ram. It will also run as
- a DOS application under OS/2, WINDOWS and DESQview. A hard disk is essential
- and a reasonably fast PC is advisable. I use a 386SX 25Mhz PC.
-
- The PMS includes virtually all 'BBS' commands, most of which have been modified
- to suit a PMS, rather than a BBS, system. It features, among other things;
-
- Multi-user access. 'Simultaneous' operation on all channels.
- YAPP binary file transfers and Ascii file transfers.
- YAPP 'crash recovery' and YappC checksum protocols.
- Automatic message forwarding.
- NNA compatible bulk compressed message forwarding.
- FBB compatible bulk ascii & compressed message forwarding.
- FBB 'ACK:' type messages.
- REQDIR, REQFIL, FNDFIL and WP servers.
- Automatic date-expired message killing/deleting.
- Automatic Listing and Reading of mail on the local NTSBBS.
- Automatic message list updating from FBB 'Unproto broadcasts'.
- Full function text editor.
- Local terminal mode, with all normal terminal functions.
- Remote SysOp access.
- User database and WP database.
- Usage & error Log.
- Multi-colour displays.
- Automatic password verification when forwarding to/from a BBS using NNA version
- v2.03 (April 93) or later.
- FBB password support.
-
- .....plus lots more.
