Version 1.21 LANMail 01/15/1992
LANMail is a 6K swapping TSR program that allows you to send, receive, and
output LANTastic e-mail. LANMail will use EMS memory if available, or will
create temporary files on the C: drive. LANMail lets the user send mail to
the message server in two formats: a free-form format, and a Phone Message
format. When a phone message is sent, a carbon copy of the message is saved
in a text file called LANMAIL.CRB located in the directory in which LANMail
was executed. After reading mail, the user is presented with the question:
"<<<End of message>>> Print this Message ? N"
If the user responds with a 'Y', the question
"Output to (F)ile, (P)rinter, or (N)one ?"
will appear. Answering 'F' will allow the user to append toe message to the end
of a file, or create a new file if necessary. Answering 'P' will allow the user
to print the message to a printer, and answering 'N' will abort the output.
Regardless of the response, the message will remain in the user's mailbox.
Next, the user will be asked
"Delete this message ? N"
If the user responds with 'Y' then the message will be deleted for the mailbox,
any other key will leave the message in the mailbox.
To run LANMail type:
LANMAIL /P:{MESSAGE_SERVER} [/S] [/Fpath] [/U] [/K:{Hot-key sequence}]
where {MESSAGE-SERVER} is the name of the server mail and phone messages are
to be sent to. This parameter must be provided, if it is not, the user will
be prompted to input the phone message server.
The /S parameter can be used to run LANMail in a "stand alone"
mode. This allows you to run the LANMail program without installing it as a
TSR.
The /F paramter allows you to specify where the 2 swapfiles will be placed.
There is no error checking at this time, so make sure it is a valid location.
(Swap files will only be used if there is not suffecient EMS or extended memory
available for the swap) If the /F parameter is not used C:\ is assumed. An
example would be:
LANMAIL /P:MAIL-SERVER /FD:\TEMP (Swap files in D:\TEMP)
or
LANMAIL /P:MAIL-SERVER /FD:\ (Swap files in the root of D:)
The /U parameter will attempt to uninstall the LANMail TSR.
The /K parameter allows the user to define a hot key sequence besides the
default. An example to set the hot key to Control Alternate M would be
/K:(Ctrl)(Alt)(M)
(Ctrl) Control key (Alt) Alt key
(LShift) Left shift key (RShift) Right shift key
(F1) F1 function key (F2..F12) Cooresponding function keys
The letters A-Z, the number 0-9, and all punctuation characters can
be used.
NOTE: Only one "main key" can be used. The main key in the example
above is the letter M
LANMail was written using Turbo Power's TSRs Made Easy V1.00 and compiled
under Borland's Turbo Pascal v5.5. I highly recommend TSR's Made Easy for any
Turbo Pascal programmer wishing to make their programs run as TSRs with minimal
effort and change. Turbo Power can be reached on Compu$erve at user id
76004,2611 or by phone at (719) 260-6641.

Version Changes
-------- ----------------------------------------------------------------
1.20 Initial release to public
1.21 Output to printers made less cryptic (hopefully), time-stamp
problem fixed. Error trapping while reading mail cleaned-up.
1.25 Hot-key sequence is now runtime definable. Text background
and foreground colors are now initialized to White text on a
Black background, this hopefully will help monochrome users
whose cursor disappears while using LANMail due to the
current programs text attributes.
