- DreamMail V2.0 For DayDream BBS - Quick Docs
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- What is this thing?
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- DreamMail is so-called mail door for DayDream BBS. It bundles new
- messages for the user in ASCII, WWF or BlueWave format. If user
- is using WWF or BlueWave format, he/she can also write messages
- at home using Offline message reading software (Eg. Offline Orbit,
- AmyBW, Q-Blue or WWFReader).
-
- Support for WWF and BlueWave formats are not 100%, but they are
- complete enough for regular usage. Some deluxe features like tag-
- ging areas on/off at home and file attach are not supported.
-
- I didn't implement QWK support, because QWK-format really sucks.
-
- Features
- ~~~~~~~~
-
- -100% Asm, quite fast.
- -Supports Ascii, WWF and BlueWave formats.
- -Local usage also possible.
-
- Configuration
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- DreamMail uses configfile called DreamMail.CFG. DreamMail searches
- for it in path specified in ENV-variable DreamUtils.
-
- Each message base MUST be defined in DreamMail.CFG. The format for
- definition line is:
-
- [CONF:AREA] [TAG]
-
- Eg.
-
- 1:1 New Users
- 2:1 TradeBase
- 3:1 TN.General
- 3:2 TN.BullShitting
-
- etc
-
- You must specify ID for your BBS. It is used in packet names.
- Max length is 8 chars. Eg:
-
- BBSID FOOBAR
-
- WWF-packet will be FOOBAR.WWF, Ascii-packet will be FOOBAR.TXT etc.
-
- DreamMail supports only LHA-packing, since other widely spread pac-
- kers do not support wildcards and it's not fun to implement support
- for such packers. Path for lha must be defined after LHAPATH-keyword,
- eg:
-
- LHAPATH "C:lha"
-
- If you wish to hide packer output from the user, add >NIL: to the
- name, eg: LHAPATH "C:Lha >NIL:".
