Mailbox 2.1 for Windows
Jered Floyd Shareware Productions
The Square-One BBS
(313)932-2869
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mailbox for Windows is a Shareware program for use on a multi-user computer
running Windows. It allows private mail to be sent between the users of the
system. It is user-friendly, and entirely self-explanatory.
INSTALLATION
Mailbox is simple to install, however, in this version Windows must be in
C:\WINDOWS. Next version will add support for any directory, and an easy-to
-use installation program.
To install MAILBOX:
1)Copy all files from this archive into C:\WINDOWS.
VBRUN100.DLL ---Windows Dynamic Link Library
MAIL210.EXE ---Mailbox for Windows Program File
USERS.DAT ---User List Data File For Mailbox
MAIL.MSG ---Mail List Data File For Mailbox
2)Start Windows by typing WIN
3)Click on the program group in which you want to install Mailbox.
4)Choose New... from the File menu.
5)Select NEW PROGRAM ITEM.
6)Enter 'Mailbox' for program description, and 'C:WINDOWS\MAILBOX.EXE'
for program.
That's all! The Mailbox icon should now appear on your Windows menu! If you
are having trouble, read Troubleshooting below.
Thank you for using Mailbox 2.1!
SHAREWARE
Mailbox for Windows is SHAREWARE. However, it has full features, it is
NOT 'cripple-ware'! I am counting on you, the user, to register this
program!!! After registering, you will be notified of ALL new releases!
Please register, otherwise I will have to stop writing Shareware! To
register, fill out REGISTER.FRM. Thank you!
WHY VERSION 2.1?
You may have noticed that version 2.1 is the FIRST release of Mailbox.
This is because all previous versions were incomplete, and never passed
Alpha-testing.
FUTURE VERSIONS
The next versions will add:
Compatibility with BBS's!
File Encryption
On-Line Help
Support for picture mail!
and many more features!!!!!!
If you have any improvements, or find any errors, please notify me with
BUG.FRM. If it is a valid bug, or if the feature is added to the next
version, you will be registered for FREE!
