***** EASYMAIL *******
YOU MUST HAVE TELIX 3.12 to run this!
This is a PCBoard offline mail handler for boards without mail doors.
You simply create your messages offline with this and then send them to
the BBS and then download your new messages (uses "R A Z" command).
Place the files (easymail.slc) into your script directory for TELIX
and then run it. It will look for the configuration file (which it
won't find first time) and load it's parameters from that. Before you
start, you should create a directory where your messages will be kept.
You should get a configuration screen like this:
EASYMail System Configuration
A: Type of Monitor (EGA,CGA,MONO) :
B: Dialing Dir. Entry(s) to dial : <- Enter the dialing directory number
C: Editor command (include path) : not the phone number.
D: Message directory (full path) :
E: NAME (as registered on BBS) :
F: PASSWORD :
G: Language : <- Use standard/english PCboard
prompts only!
Q: QUIT without saving changes.
S: SAVE Changes to disk and EXIT.
Which option?
Option C:
- should be the Text Editor you use. For example, I use Qedit
and it's in my Qedit directory so I enter d:\qedit\q (or d:\qedit\q.exe)
for this prompt.
Option D:
- is the path where you want the messages kept. It is preferable
to have it's own directory but it will work in existing directories.
My mail directory is d:\telix\easymail\
The program is very simple to use but if there are any problems or
suggestions I can be reached at FLIGHT 642 (416) 642-2993 8-N-1. Just
leave a message to the sysop (that's me!).
When creating messages you simply answer the questions. The conference
question can either be answered by typing the conference number or it's
name (PCBoard 14.5 only). ie. you may type "0" or "main" for the main
conference.
Here's the legal stuff!
This program is to be used at your own risk. The author is not
responsible for any lost data or damages in any way in any amount that
exceeds what you paid for the program.
Here's the money part!
If you find this script useful and wish to continue to use it please
send a bag full of small unmarked bills to me (or any other charity)
and you will not receive a registered copy. If you use it and like it,
just send me a post card!
