Since the release of version 1.10, Mom and its associated setup program
(MomSetup.Exe) have been TOTALLY rewritten. This was necessary because
of the MAJOR changes made to support other BBS programs and front-end
mailers, as well as to optimise the code so that Mom will run as quickly
as possible between calls and in its midnight event.
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU CAREFULLY READ THE DOCUMENTS IF YOU HAVE BEEN
USING AN EARLIER VERSION OF MOM. LOTS OF THINGS HAVE BEEN CHANGED, ADDED
AND DELETED FROM PREVIOUS RELEASES!!
The following is a list of new features added to Mom in version 2.0.
Further details can be obtained by reading the relevant section of the
document file or by pressing F1 in the setup program.
+ Added support for RemoteAccess 2.0g1 (hudson message base ONLY!)
Mom still FULLY supports versions 1.0x and 1.1x of RA
+ Added support for SuperBBS versions 1.15, 1.16 and 1.17
+ Added support for ProBoard v1.30
+ Date format is now fully configurable by the sysop
+ Time format is now fully configurable by the sysop
+ Messages attributes have been greatly expanded to support D'Bridge, Front
Door and some FAX attributes
+ Sysop away messages have been enhanced so that Mom can now scan up to 10
different message areas (Local, echo or netmail) and send a reply if the
sysop is away
+ Added 'Condition' field for messages in MomSetup (See docs for info)
So that Mom will ONLY post a message if the user meets the conditions you
specify
+ Added 'Action' field for messages in MomSetup (see docs for info)
Mom can alter user records when sending a message... change flags, alter
security etc etc
+ Greatly increased the number of metastrings available for use in messages
A new set of message text files are included in the archive which you may
alter to suit your system
+ Mom can now post a message 'From' whatever name you define, NOT just the
sysops name
+ Statistics screens are now almost fully sysop configurable for layout,
colors and conditions which must be met by a user BEFORE they are included
in a report
+ Stats screens also have a 'Condition' field similar to that used in the
messages (See docs for more info)
+ Added 'Convert' option to MomSetup to upgrade from v1.10
+ Added 'Export' function in MomSetup to export Mom's configuration to an
Ascii text file
+ Added 'Pallete' option in MomSetup to change colors/ video setup etc
+ Added C command line switch so that Mom can use more than one configuration
file (see docs for more info)
+ Added O switch so that Mom can use the 'Old' style screen headers
+ Added B command line switch so Mom can 'Send' a message from ANY user name
+ Greatly modified the use of the T command line switch (see docs) for posting
a message 'To' a user or group of users
+ Completely rewrote the documents
+ Added text formatting commands for use in statistics screens (see docs)
+ Added extra metastrings for use in statistics screens (see docs)
+ Set up extra registration sites in Sweden, Switzerland and South Africa
+ Changed to a more reliable USA registration site!.... Cheers Joe!
So NO MORE missing US registrations!
+ Fixed every reported bug, and lots more that weren't reported!
