4. Ideas
1. What does it do ?
The server itself provides an automatic updating of your Address Book which is stored by winpack in the address.txt file in the Winpack directory it does this by scanning all incoming personal mail and updating the records if no data exists for the callsign. As it works at present the server does not update incorrect entrys etc.!!
2. How to Install it
The server is very easy to install, and you can have it up and running in a matter of seconds!! Firstly Unzip the .EXE file into WINPACK\SERVERS\RECEIVE then in File Manager (under Window's 3.x) or Window Explorer (Under Win95) look in your Winpack directory, is there a file called Address.txt? if not then unzip the Address.txt file which is supplied otherwise do not as you will lose address book entry's which you already have !!!

4. Ideas
Some ideas I have at present are :
1. Forcing outgoing mail to take address from address book if present.
2. Updating entries if the info differs. (ie if some changes HomeBBS).
3. Making a guess at the name instead of just putting "?"
