GMC-BBS Version 2.10 27-05-1995
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Introduction
GMC-BBS is a mailbox-program written for the Commodore AMIGA by Gerhard and
Christine Moerth. This manual will guide you through the installation and
helps you handling the software.
Generally a Bulletin Board System (BBS) is a program which clearly arranges
a lot of notes. Users also can read and write private mails or up- and
download programs. Every operation is protected by a security level.
GMC-BBS Version 2.10 is shareware. This means that you can make as many
copies as you want and pass them to as many persons (also on electronic
way) as possible. The share version is limited as follows: the box is
ready only one week from date of first installation, the number of users,
up- downloads, messages and private mails is limited to 15.
In the following you find a listing of many details of the program - use-
ful if you want to compare it with other programs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bulletins, messages and files can be arranged in maximal 100 directories
with unlimited subdirectories. Each directory has it's own security level.
Directories and subdirectories can contain any number of bulletins,
messages and files. The limit is only the available disk space.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
GMC-BBS uses external and internal transfer protocols. At the moment
"X-modem-checksum" and "x-modem-CRC" are integrated. The program
switches automatically to the protocol of the caller. You can include
external protocols such as X-modem, Y-modem, Z-modem, Bi-Modem etc. which
correspond with XPR standard with the configuration file.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The security level can be individually set for every user.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
All serial I/O-routines are optimized by hand for best performance.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The SysOp can change time limit, security level, printer output, screen
output, serial input and output online at any time.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shortcuts for the main functions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Usergroups with a special info text can be created and time limits can be
given out unlimited.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The emulations TTY, TTY+CLS, VT100/ANSI, VT100/ANSI+CLS can be set by
every user.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Special characters are accepted. From OS 2.0 on you can use all graphic
possibilities of the ANSI emulation with an IBM font.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
GMC-BBS was written for highest speed, reliability and flexibility.
Efficient programming technique leads to 100% multitasking use under
OS 1.2, 1.3, 2.0, 3.0 and 3.1. The program was written in C and tested on
different machines.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
NTSC, PAL and drivers for the serial.device or for internal modems are
configured in the TOOL-TYPES.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The serial.device can be released to use other terminal programs without
restarting GMC-BBS. You can switch the mailbox to "not ready" to backup
your hard disk. During this time there will be no access on the hard disk
or floppy disk.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Internal, external and highspeed modems are supported perfectly (e.g.
higher DTE speed between computer and modem which allows data
compression).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Detecting fax call and transmission to external fax programs is possible.
At the moment ready scripts for Multifax (TKR) and TrapFax (Village
Tronic) are included. If your modem has no fax detection or your fax
software cannot handle an existing line you can also connect an external
fax switch.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Freely to configure and expand.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Multitasking will not be effected. You can do whatever you want, GMC-BBS
is programmed correctly so it can run in the background.
NOTE: There cannot be enough RAM.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Built in timer for automatically harddisk-parking.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Built in timer for periodically loading of the system time. The system
time is checked and even the program will be stopped because suggestive
working is not possible without correct time.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Online packing for download-files can be used by every user (e.g. LHA,
LZH, ZOO, ARC, ...). After finishing the user gets a message.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The flashing power LED shows you, if you had user in your mailbox.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Call Back function (A given number will be dialed and after connecting you
will be in the Logon Sequence.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
If the configuration of the modem is faulty the respective line will be
printed which is very useful for correction. Slow modems are supported as
well as fast modems.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Integrated up- and download ratio, which can be effective on files or
bytes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Automatic carriage return and line feed at the end of the line in the
chat mode.
