History of Fido System For Windows
About one and a half year ago we had a plan of making a
mail reader writer that works under windows.
We thought that it was easy but we had one problem. We
had never programmed before in PASCAL, the only
programming experience we had was a little bit in basic.
So after many experimenting around, we came by a first
version (it was terrible that version).
It was a program and it was working and that was all.
The second version was a little bit better this was the first
version that came to our beta testers.
This version had also many problems.
From that version on it is getting better with this program.
After developing about one and a half year we come to this
version of "Fido System for windows".
We wouldn't say that this version is perfect but it will work.
We are still developing further so that speed and
functionality will get better.
We hope that you will remember that this is not our job it's
just a hobby that's gone to far.

The installation is quite simple .(I hope)
Just start the setup Program.
And then run the fsfw configuration program (that is simple)
If you get the message can't find BWCC.DLL
You will have to copy it to your \windows\system directory.
Fsfw will not copy it because there are also other BWCC.DLL
in other language's.
When you still have problems with this shareware version you can contact me
and i will try to help you.
