MAXIHOST previously MINIHOST REGISTRATION $ 25.00
COMM MAY90 MAXIHOST HOST BBS MAIL
FILES: maxh0590.sdn
Updated for MAY 1990
The original purpose of MAXIHOST was to allow the consultant
or programmer to call his office from elsewhere and retrieve
programs he had forgotten to bring along. It was to be a
simple program with only a few features. But, as happens
with programs of this kind, I kept wondering what it would be
like if I did just changed this, added that . . . so it
grew into what you see: a powerful host program, or compact
BBS.
MaxiHost has the following enhancements over MiniHost:
* Improved Message System database
* Message System printing
* Support for 9600 and 19200 bps modems
* Support for Multi-taskers
* Event Scheduling
* Questionnaire facility
* Operator Chat hours.
* Trap DOOR menuing system
* Menu driven DIRECTORY changes
* Supports up to fifteen external file transfer
protocols.
* Releases all but 25k of memory when in a door or in a
DOS shell.
* Program description updates in any directory
* Data files may be in a separate directory
* Twenty five character CONFERENCE descriptions
* ANSI graphics new user, help, and goodbye screens
* Two INITSTRINGS
This program is written to run on an IBM PC (or PC clone)
with 256K RAM and PC-DOS 3.X or higher. It can be used with
floppies, but is written with a hard drive in mind. It
needs a Hayes (or compatible) modem, although information is
supplied below for use with certain alternatives. It should
be used at 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit to enable
Xmodem transfers, but will operate at 7 data bits, even
parity. A printer may be used to log calls.
