┌───────────────────┐
│ What is CS-MAC? │
└───────────────────┘
CS-MAC is a series of {COMMO} macros that showcases the
power of the {COMMO} macro language. It provides an
easily configurable terminal environment and a combination
of online conveniences unmatched by any other terminal
program. Chances are, if you have wished for a feature in a
terminal, CS-MAC has it.
┌─────────────────────────┐
│ The CS-MAC Philosophy │
└─────────────────────────┘
CS-MAC was built and grows with several principles.
CS-MAC is to be EVERYTHING you want in a BBS terminal.
CS-MAC is to be easy to install and use.
CS-MAC is to be simple to customize and upgrade.
CS-MAC is to be able to grow as users add ideas.
CS-MAC is to co-exist with COMMO.MAC and other macros.
CS-MAC is to be easy to remove (del cs-*.*)
┌────────────────────────────┐
│ Quick Start Instructions │
└────────────────────────────┘
I disclaim any and all liability for the use of CS-MAC.
You use this product at your own risk.
Step 0 Unzip CS-MAC13.ZIP into your {Commo} home directory.
Step 1 Enter "CS-MAC" at the DOS prompt.
After a brief welcome message, the batch file starts {Commo}
with command line: >commo /v4500 /mcs-commo.csm /:start
Step 2 Complete the menu driven configuration routine.
This makes a file named CS-MAC13.CFG in your {Commo} home
directory. It continues, prompting you through adding CS-MAC
support information to your .FON directory.
Step 3 You have successfully installed CS-MAC. Make the mailrun!

* Autopilot and macro recorder are in compiled {Commo} macros
that require a registered {Commo} in order to operate.
* A CS-MAC key file enhances Auto-Learn and eliminates a
one in twelve chance that the Auto-Pilot will need keyboard
attention when it is started.
JB-LEARN and its supporting docs are included as a bonus.
JB-LEARN uses the same learn engine that CS-MAC does,
with no crippled features and able to run on unregistered
Commo. The spirit in which these macros was made is to
encourage you to register {Commo} with Fred Brucker, what
other COMM program can be programmed to teach itself?
