- !!! This software is in beta and not completed.
- !!! Only experienced users should try it.
- !!! Use it at your own risk. It is expected to contain serious bugs.
-
-
- For a quick start, do the following:
-
- - Make sure that your Java configuration is OK, by switching into the
- directory containing SystemTest.class and systemtest.needs and executing:
-
- java SystemTest
-
- - Make sure that the java_user environment variable is set to some
- directory which can take the data this software will create. On
- some systems, the HOME environment variable will be used.
-
- - Locate the "knm" startup script for your OS and change the
- environment variables to your needs.
-
- - Run the startup script.
-
- - Add at least one server of each kind you're interested in. Take the
- appropriate server names from the configuration dialogs of your
- mail and news software.
-
- - If one of them is a newsserver, connect to the internet, highlight
- that server and press the Groups button. In the popup window, press
- the Get button to receive a list of available newsgroups.
-
- - Activate all daemons for the servers you want to use your mail and
- news software with.
-
- - Configure your mail and news software to use localhost as the
- newsserver, smtp server and pop3 server.
-
- - If you use Janus/ZConnect Point software, have a look at netcall.cmd.
- You might want to copy netcall.cmd and knm.jar to the software's
- directory and configure your software to use netcall.cmd as an
- external netcall module.
-
- - Have fun!
-
