- Welcome to The Message Manager v4.0 Demo!
- • 2/9/91 •
-
- Thank you for obtaining this demo of TMM v4.0. You probably got it thru
- the efforts of one of our users spreading the word and the demo, but however you
- came upon it, please take a second to read this file - it will not only give you
- insight into what you've got, but also tell you how to run it.

- INSTALLATION
-
- To install TMM, simply drag the TMM application icon onto your disk. DO
- NOT use the original. TMM can be run from anywhere, it does not need to be in
- the SSH folder. However, TMM does expect to find its own TMM Prefs and TMM
- Address Book files in the same folder the TMM application is in. (Don’t worry,
- you aren’t missing any files, TMM will create these files for you.)
-
- TMM assumes that you have a functional Second Sight Host (SSH) BBS system
- up and running. It will check and do what it can to recover from erroneus info,
- but TMM can only do so much. It is crucial that your host CONFIG file is setup
- properly, since TMM uses this file in order to find the other Host files it
- needs to access. If your BBS is running, then you should have no problems.
-
- When you first run TMM, it will ask you to locate your SSH CONFIG file. It
- will remember the location, unless you move the file, or delete the TMM Prefs
- file.

- DEMO LIMITATIONS
-
- Ok, all of the previous remarks apply not only to the demo version but the
- real version of TMM 4.0 as well. Now for the specifics on the demo version: we
- pondered long and hard on what would be the best way to provide a demo, or
- crippled copy of TMM to prospective users, and we feel like we came up with
- something that should work pretty well: this version allows you to work with the
- first three sections of your message base. We think that since you will have
- access to all functions except for backup, you will be able to fairly judge if
- TMM is right for you. The real version of TMM 4.0 also includes full online
- documentation in the Help window.
-
- So use TMM for awhile on your first three sections - traverse through
- them, reply to msgs, etc, etc, and if you don't soon discover that TMM is the
- product you've been waiting for, then please take it and pass it onto someone
- else who you think might find it more useful. We only ask that you send the
- original StuffIt'ed demo file so that it will not have your configuration
- parameters and it will include the pertinent textfiles along with it (like this
- one!)
-
- We encourage you to explore the demo thoroughly to get a full
- understanding of all that it can do for you. TMM is far from a simple utility -
- in reality it is a suite of utilities all accessible from within the same
- environment. We do hope that you will find TMM to be as indispensible as we
- always have, and that it saves you much time and many headaches in maintaining
- your BBS. Afterall, very few of us actually make money running BBS's, so we
- might as well not have to go thru hell just to maintain it.
