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:".
