TinyHost - V2.30
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Copyright (C) 1991 by Bruce A. Krobusek
November 13, 1991
TinyHost is a small, personal-sized host program for IBM PC's
or compatibles. It is designed to permit logging onto one's
computer from a remote site, without having to install a full-
fledged Bulletin Board program. To this end, many BBS features
are not implemented - TinyHost is not intended to compete with
such programs.
Some of the features of TinyHost V2.30 are:
1) 300 to 9600 baud operation with Hayes compatible modems,
COM1 - COM4.
2) XModem, XModem/CRC, and 1K-XModem (sometimes called
YModem) file transfer protocols for uploads and downloads.
3) On-line viewing of a text file on the host system.
4) Supports a ringback mode so that a phone line that is
normally dedicated to voice communcations can also be used for
data transfers.
5) Up to 25 user accounts can be created, with passwords to
prevent unauthorized people from logging onto the system. Ten
different security levels are available.
6) Personal and Public mail, and SysOp Comments.
7) TinyHost's executable file is less than 80K, and the
program requires less than 130K of memory to run in.
Consequently, TinyHost can even be run from the smallest of PC's!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
TinyHost has been released in ZIP form, utilizing the
Authenticity Verification option. When un-Zipping the file
THOST230.ZIP, the following line should appear after the un-
Zipping process is complete:
Authentic files Verified! # JBC818 BRUCE KROBUSEK
This ensures that none of the TinyHost files have been tampered
with.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
As released, TinyHost consists of the following files:
THOST230.EXE - The executable file. The 230 refers to the
version number of the program (V2.30).
TINYHOST.DOC - A printer-ready manual for TinyHost. Just use
the DOS PRINT command.
TINYHOST.WEL - A sample welcome file for use with TinyHost.
HISTORY.TXT - The release history of TinyHost.
REGISTER.FRM - a printer-ready registration form. Just use
the DOS PRINT command.
READ.ME - The file you're reading now.
IN-NODE.LST - A text file listing all of the Intelec Network
nodes (BBSes).
----------------------------------------------------------------
Reading (or at least browsing) the manual is strongly
suggested. However, a Quick Start section is available in the
manual to help get TinyHost up and running in a minimal amount of
time.
