^About wsOMR
░░░░░░░░░░░
wsOMR is a small, fast, Internet/usenet/BBS offline mail/news reader.
It supports four major e-mail formats namely, Internet(RFC), SOUP,
Bluewave, QWK. It is the first and only OMR that supports Fido and
Internet at the same time, very handy for users who have access to
different networks as there is no need to learn different readers.
With wsOMR you can read and reply to your favorite BBS,Internet,
USENET mail at your own leisure and manage larger volumes of mail with
relative ease, send/receive files over Internet. It saves you from
the pressures of online-time charge, long distance calls, etc.
Hardware requirements for wsOMR:
An IBM PC, AT, 80386, 80486, or fully compatible personal
computer. A minimum of 560k of free memory.

^USE wsOMR WITH BBS
░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
For BBS, wsOMR reads mail packets in the two main formats, Bluewave
and QWK. Please choose the appropriate command line switch for the
format in your bbs. Following instruction assumes you are using QWK
format.
1. Installation
================
1.1 run wsOMR /q
1.2 choose "New Host"
1.3 enter BBS ID, the BBS ID is the file name without extension of the
packets you downloaded, e.g: if your packets are using MYBBS.Q01,
MYBBS.Q02 then the BBS ID is MYBBS.
2. Downloading of mails
=======================
This depends on the bbs you are accessing, check with your sysop about
this.
3. Reading/Answering of mails
=============================
3.1 run wsomr /q
3.2 choose "Open Host" and select a bbs from the pick-list.
3.3 Open an existing packet, read/answer it according to the
instruction of the reader.
3.4 Upon exit, wsomr will create a reply packet in the upload
directory ready to be uploaded to your bbs, e.g. MYBBS.REP, for
Bluewave it will be MYBBS.NEW
4. Uploading of mails
=====================
This is done thru the mail doors in the bbs, check with your sysop
about this.
==========================================================================
^USE wsOMR WITH INTERNET
░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
wsOMR provides two kinds of Internet support, namely:
1. Internet ( RFC message level)
2. SOUP ( packet level, please refer to the USENET section )
Assuming that you are not into USENET reading/posting, the first
option is more than likely the best choice for you. Why? It is easier
than the SOUP option since it does not require any other software to
be installed on your Internet host except the very simple wsmail.c
file.
==========================================================================
^USE wsOMR WITH INTERNET (RFC MESSAGE LEVEL)
1. Installation
================
1.1 Upload wsmail.c to your Internet host.
1.2 While logged in to your host type "cc wsmail.c"
1.3 Next, type "mv a.out wsmail"
Note:
wsmail.c is only for use by the Unix compiler, don't try to update it
and save it again in MS-DOS otherwise it will not be compiled by Unix
C compiler. It is important therefore, to keep wsmail.c as is!
In some Linux systems, smail is used instead of sendmail, please
change the following line in wsmail.c
FROM:
char *send_cmd = "sendmail -t "; /* change this in case different */
TO:
char *send_cmd = "smail -t "; /* change this in case different */
There are times that the sendmail is not in a directory specified in
the Unix path, just issue "whereis sendmail" or "whereis smail" in
your ISP machine and take note of the complete path name of the
sendmail command in your Unix host, update the above line accordingly.
2. Uploading of mails
=====================
2.1. Run wsOMR /i
2.2. If this is your first time accessing Internet, choose "New Host"
from the main menu and enter a name you like, example: INTERNET.
else choose "Open Host" and pick a name from the pick list.
2.3. Enter messages (there is only one area available).
2.4. After each session, wsOMR will create a new file called "???.txt"
[???=the name of your BBS].
2.5. Upload the ???.txt file to your Internet host.
2.6. Run wsmail by typing "wsmail r ???.txt.
2.7. wsmail will confirm that your messages are sent.
Note: to make sure your message will not be posted multiple times,
use: wsmail r- ???.txt The minus sign(-) tell wsmail to delete
the file after posting.
3. Downloading of mails
=======================
3.1. Log in to the Internet host.
3.2. Pack your mail into a file by typing:
wsmail m ???.001 [???=the name of your BBS]
Note: If you wish, you can use the "mailx" command instead.
3.4. Download ???.001 to your PC by typing "sz ???.001"
3.5. Log off from the Internet host.
3.6. Start wsOMR by typing " wsomr /i"
3.6. Open the ???.001 file.
3.7. read/answer the mail
3.8. upon exit, ???.001 will be zipped.
==========================================================================
^USE wsOMR WITH USENET (SOUP, Simple Offline USENET Packet Format)
wsOMR is fully compatible with SOUP specifications ver 1.2. wsOMR is a
SOUP reader as well as being a BW/QWK/Internet reader. SOUP is usually
used for USENET reading/posting as well as e-mailing.
1. Installation
================
Make sure that UQWK, ZIP and UNZIP are installed in your Internet
host. Ask your system administrator about it.
2. Downloading of mails/news
============================
2.1 While logged in to the Internet type "uqwk +L +n"
2.2 type "zip soup.001 00* AREAS"
2.3 download the zipped file by typing "sz soup.001"
3. Uploading of mails/news
==========================
3.1 While logged in to the Internet type "rz soup.rep" and start your
comm program to upload the soup.rep from your PC to home
directory.
3.2 Type "unzip -U soup.rep"
3.3 Type "uqwk +L -RREPLIES"
4. Reading/Replying mails/news
==============================
4.1 Start wsomr by typing "wsomr /s"
4.2 Open a packet and read/reply, upon exit a reply packet will be
created.
==========================================================================
^Mailing List Grouping
░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
For easy viewing of messages, wsOMR groups incoming messages according
to certain conditions in the header. (From what I know, wsOMR is the
first reader with this innovative feature)
1. Auto Grouping.
wsOMR automatically detects messages from various mailing lists
and places them together in the respective groups.
2. Undigestifying.
3. Unlogging of Monthly archive
4. User defined group (UDG)
please refer to groups.ini for details.
Note:
All the above features have been tested against thousands of
messages from the major mailing list programs, such as: Listserv,
Listproc, Majordomo, Maiser, Smartlist, Mreply, GIGO and some
others. (for SOUP/RFC)
==========================================================================
^EXTERNAL TAGLINE MANAGERS
░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
There are two ways to define an external tagline manager, TagXpro and
Cherry Picker are used here as sample managers, please check with your
favorite tagline manager's documentation for specific instructions:
1. Thru wsOMR external tagline manager hook
tagline_mgr=c:\tagx\tagx.exe //bc t @f
If your tagline manager is John Hancock compatible, just omit
the @f in the command line:
tagline_mgr=c:\cp\cp.exe c:\cp\tag.var
2. Via wsOMR's tagline file, wsomr.tag
The methods described in the #1 can also be used to specify
unlimited number of tagline managers by placing the command
in the wsomr.tag, just prefix every command with
[EXTERNAL, Manager desc], example:
[External, TagXpro]c:\tagx\tagx.exe //bc t @f
[External, Cherry Picker]c:\cp\cp.exe c:\cp\tag.var
Please check wsomr.tag for some samples.
3. Via editor command
editor=C:\TAGX\TAGX.exe //BC f @f
Disable_Tagline=YES
Note: if John Hancock compatible tagline is used, all the wsOMR type
macros(@name. for example) are still applicable.
==========================================================================
^SIGNATURE FILE
░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
The signature file is a pure text file containing one or more
signatures. if more than one signature is defined, a pick list
will pop up during the entry of new messages for the user to select
one of the appropriate signatures. "+" is used to separate
signatures, example:
Frank (wang@durian.usc.edu.ph)
+
F.Wang
E-mail: wang@durian.usc.edu.ph
Fido : 6:754/10.20
Optionally the signature file could also be used as a multiple-line
tagline file.
^Note:
1.Just like tagline, you can use wsOMR's macro in a signature
file, this will cause some problem if your e-mail address is
part of the file, for example:
^wang@durian.usc.edu.ph^ will become
^wangdurian.usc.edu.ph^. To solve this problem, prefix any "@"
that is not part of marco with ^"\",
^wang\@durian.usc.edu.ph
2. By default, wsOMR uses signature file defined in wsomr.ini for
Internet/usenet messages only. However it respects the entry
"Signature" in the format.ini, this option will enable you to use
different signature files in different levels, please refer to
^format.ini.^
==========================================================================
^MAILING LIST
░░░░░░░░░░░░
wsOMR provides a convenient mailing list support in the reader level,
Mailing list support(MLS):
WSOMR's MLS lets you deliver mail to a group of internet addresses
conveniently. The important point is that you send one piece of mail
and wsmail automatically sends copies to everyone listed in the MLS
file.
How would an MLS work?
As an example, lets assume that a small group of family members
consisting of a father, his daughter and his son all listed in a MLS
file called FAMILY.MLS, in the address book an #c:\FAMILY.MLS is
defined The father would send a message using the #c:\family.mls in
the address field and copies would immediately go to his daughter and
to his son. His son could send a response using the same MLS file and
his father and sister would get copies of the response.
How to create a MLS file?
MLS file is a simple text file, each line contains one address, you
can also put comments in the same line, any thing to the right of
// are considered comments and will be ignored, example:
wang@durian.usc.edu.ph // author
umm@alfa.ist.utl.pt // Tiago Pascoal
restrada@durian.usc.edu.ph // user
kira@jolt.ipx.com // review & FAQ author
Put all those lines into a file name sample.mls and in your address
book, you create an entry:
Friends list $#c:\sample.mls, that's all.
during the input, just press F9 to pop up the list and select
Friends list.
