Notes on this public beta:
Since GEcho uses the new structures, there was no conversion
program available, so I decided to turn my GEcho2ra 2.00 project
into a one time public beta. The program is far from finished due
to a total rewrite of it, but still it does the basic conversions.
It creates a Folder.FD, Messages.RA and an Areas.BBS. It also
creates a menu setup for Remote Access, so it should help you for
some period.
The advanced features are not finished yet, and also some speed
has to be build in. (this beta is quite slow, because it is
'optimized' for working and not yet for speed).
Please, no comments that some options don't work, or don't work
the way they are described (except for major screw up of course).
The program is STILL UNFINISHED.
Feature beta-versions will be 'registered-only' unless this public
beta contains major bugs.
Please also note that the documentation speaks about an ascii ctl-
file, the 2.00 version comes with a setup utility, so that part of
the docs isn't quite up te date ;-). I decided to let it stay in
the docs for now, because it mentions some information about the
working of this program.
The setup utility is not documented yet, I hope it speaks for
itself, if not feel free to ask anything to me. I read the ge-
cho_help and ge_beta echo daily. Any new public beta's, and the
final release will be announced in that area.
That's all for today, I hope this public beta is of any help to
you. It is shareware, but if you just use it overcome a period
until your favorite utility will recognize the new structs, feel
free to use it. I simply thank you via netmail or snailmail is
enough then.
