COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT wsOMR:
=====================================
Q. What I need to do before running wsOMR?
---------------------------------------
A.
1. Unpack wsOMRB???.ZIP in a directory
2. run config
3. run wsOMR
Q. Can wsOMR read QWK packet file?
-------------------------------
A. Yes. Pass /Q in command line to access QWK packets:
wsOMR /Q
Q. I encounter the ff. messages when unpacking a mail packet:
- "This file seems not a Bluewave mail packet..." or
- "This file seems not a QWK mail packet..."
WHY?
---------------------------------------------------------------
A. These are the possible causes:
1. The packet is incomplete.
2. There is not enough memory to run the decompress program. Try the ff.
entry in wsOMR.ini:
Swap_on_Archive=YES
Q. When I choose the OPEN PACKET option from the main menu I get this message
saying that there isn't any packet in the download directory. (???) (I copied
the QWK packet to the same directory where my BW packets are placed.)
A. wsOMR assumes that the file extension for QWK is q*, if your packet has
different file extension, wsOMR will not be able to locate it. you can
update wsOMR.ini to change the default setting, look for EXT_QWK, ex:
EXT_QWK=q* k*
This is also applicable to Bluewave packets, just look for EXT_BW.
Q. When running ShareSpell spell checker, it displays "can not find dictionary"
Why?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. Make the ShareSpell directory part of DOS path.
A. How to enter addresses in the address book?
-------------------------------------------
The format is :
NAME(max. 36 characters) *fido address $internet address(max.67)
Example :
Jim Ayson *6:750/2.300 $jayson@ocsmail.asiandevbank.org
Q. How to send an Internet mail or Fido Netmail?
---------------------------------------------
A. Go to Netmail Area. Place the Internet or Netmail address in the INTER:
field. That's all, no more no less. Alternatively, you can press F9 to
pop up the address book for your frequently used mail addresses. The
book has two addresses per line: one is Fidonet prefixed with a "*",
while the other one is the Internet address prefixed with a "$". wsOMR
will pick up the address depending on your choice of Internet or
Netmail. No more additions of: UUCP and blank line in the body of text.
Simply compose your message straight with your text editor.
Note:
1. If you are using QWK format, please make it sure you are in the
right netmail area.
2. This is only applicable to Fido mode of wsOMR.
Q. Netmail in QWK
--------------
A. The QWK netmail handling in wsOMR assumes that QWK door in your BBS
uses the format of placing the fido address in the first line of the
message. If your door is using other approaches in handling netmail
please choose 'E' when you are prompted with " Please choose : E)echo
mail, N) net mail, I) internet, Q) quit ", and enter the message
according to the specification of your QWK door, this applies to
Internet mail too.
Q. Compatibility with Bluewave 2.12?
---------------------------------
wsOMR's echomail is fully compatible with bwave version 2.12 or
later. Netmail support is compatible with versions greater than
2.12, so avoid using bwave 2.12 to update a wsOMR created packet
containing netmails. for Echo mail, no problem.
Q. How to do an offline configuration/file request in QWK mode?
------------------------------------------------------------
There is no standard way in QWK for offline configuration and
file request, you have to refer to the documentation of QWK doors
used in your BBS.
Q. What is the mail-sent folder and what are the uses of it?
Q. How to combine some messages into one file while viewing Internet E-mail?
Q. What are Incoming_Export_File & Outgoing_Export_File set-ups in the
wsOMR.INI?
-------------------------------------------------------------------
A. Incoming_Export_File is intended for dumping of all viewed messages
which you may wish to edit, answer and cross-discuss. This provides
you the flexibility of quoting various messages in one reply message.
Append or Overwrite options are provided. Use the 'I' Import facility
to paste the dumped file to your intended reply message.
Outgoing_Export_File, on the other hand, allows you to dump all your
pending Reply messages into one file. This will enable you to edit
and cross discuss your various pending Replies to various persons in
a single reply message. Append or Overwrite options are also provided.
Use the 'I' Import facility to paste the dumped file to your intended
reply message.
To make use of these facilities, it is important to specify the
default directories in the wsOMR.INI configuration.
Q. What are the archive programs supported in wsOMR?
ZIP - PKWARE Inc.
ARC - System Enhancement Associates
LZH - Haruyasu Yoshizaki
PAK - NoGate Consulting
ARJ - Robert K Jung
UC2 - AIP-NL.
RAR - Eugene Roshal
Q. How to detect more than one wsOMR loaded?
----------------------------------------
A. wsOMR will detect multiple wsOMR in DOS. if you are running wsOMR under
Windows, you should load SHARE.EXE to avoid multiple wsOMR accessing
same reply/mail packet.
Q. Can I update address book & tagline file while running wsOMR?
------------------------------------------------------------
A. Yes, you can use the editing options in the menu, don't update those
files directly under DOS shell.
Q. I have set is_re_4_reply in wsomr.ini to "NO", how come my replies in
Internet mail still have that "Re: " prefixed with the subjects?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A. This entry is applicable to Fidonet messages only, for Internet
replies "Re: " is a must per RFC 822 specification.
Q. is there a limit on number of lines in a message?
-------------------------------------------------
A. for reply messages(outgoing messages), the limit is 60K bytes. for
incoming messages, you can view only the first 60K of the message
in the screen, however, the Write option under message viewing screen
will write the entire message to the file you specify without chopping
any data from the message, this is good for file attach messages.
Q. How to send/receive files in Internet?
--------------------------------------
A. to send file:
Enter file name in "F/A" field, this is only applicable to Internet mode
to receive file:
While viewing the message with file attached, press "D" for decoding, and
choose the proper decoding method to expand the file.
Q. Why I can not send mail using wsmail.c, always got errors like:
sendmail not found?
----------------------------------------------------------------
A. Probably the sendmail program is in a directory that can not be
located by wsmail.c, try following steps:
1) whereis sendmail
you will get the directory name where sendmail is located
ex: /usr/lib/sendmail
2) change the line in wsmail.c,
char *send_cmd = "sendmail -t "; /* change this in case different */
to the one you located in the step 1
ex: char *send_cmd = "/usr/lib/sendmail -t "; /* change this in case different */
3) cc wsmail.c
4) mv a.out wsmail
5) that's all, some systems use smail instead of sendmail, just
change it accordingly.
