What is PCB Freedom ??
PCB Freedom v.1.50 is a mail server, for handling and managing mail packets
from multiple bulletin boards. I deal with mail packets on several bulletin
board systems, and wanted a script which would allow me to upload REP files
and download QWK files from all of the systems I deal with, as
automatically as possible.
The result is PCB Freedom. It will manage mail on any PCBoard system
running a Qmail, Cam-Mail, MarkMail, Kmail or Rosemail mail door, or on a
WildCat system running a TomCat mail door. It will automatically upload any
REP file, and delete it for you after a successful upload (so that you
don't try to upload the same messages later), and, if so requested, will
download a new QWK, storing it in a selected directory after it is
downloaded, renaming it in the process to one of two different renaming
schemes.
Version 1.50 adds the ability to create a download list of files while
offline, consisting of up to 10 files per system. When Freedom does the
next mail run on that system, it will automatically get the files listed
for that system, along with managing the mail on it.
Thus, the name Freedom, since I hope that it will free a user from dealing
directly (at least, 90% or more of the time) with systems set up under it.
To install PCB Freedom 1.50, and configure it for proper operation, please
read the file FREEDOM.TXT or FREEDOM.WRI.
Support and questions
Technical support is available at no charge by sending electronic mail to
72537,552 on CompuServe, or to Gregg Hommel on various e-mail nets
(Intelec, RIME, ILink) in the ProComm conferences or Window conferences, or
by sending regular Mail to :
Gregg Hommel,
Computer etceteras/WiGuys Software
19 Rushbrook Drive,
Kitchener, ON Canada
N2E 3C1
I am also available by phone irregularly at (519) 745-9717 (mostly
evenings).
This same phone number, from 11:30 PM to 6 AM, Eastern Time, will give you
access to my BBS. This is set up using another script application which I
wrote with Toby Simkin, called GHOST BBS (v.2.00). This is a freeware
replacement for the Datastorm provided Host script, with many features,
enhancements and improvements (at least, in my opinion <G>). I offer
support for both PCB Freedom and GHOST BBS here, and the latest release
files and updates for both are always available here first.
Registered users have priority for support but I will try to answer all
questions from everyone.
System Requirements :
- Windows 3.0 or Windows 3.1, with ProComm Plus for Windows 1.00 or 1.01.
The preferable requirements are Windows 3.1 and ProComm Plus for Windows
1.01. PCB Freedom also requires VGA (640x480) resolution or better to
run.
