- Transports for Termite to Newsbase
- ----------------------------------
- By J.Beech
-
- Note: This is the first release, and although it works fine for me when I
- tested it, it may still have odd quirks & bugs in there. Any data loss that
- you suffer from cannot be attributed to me, and I am not to be held
- responsible should anything nasty happen ;-)
-
- Ok...that's out the way, now on with the background and installation.
-
- Background
- ----------
- Have you forked out a lot of money for termite internet?
- Have you been moderately impressed with the presentation?
- Have you repeatedly banged your head against the wall while trying to use
- Offlite?
-
- If the answer is yes (at least to the first and third!) then this is probably
- the patch for you. It is designed to hide (almost) transparently inside
- !NewsBase and transfer mail from !MailBox to !NewsDir and back again, so you
- never have to go near Offlite ever again (At least, if you like using TTFN)
-
- Installation
- ------------
- Simple. Just drag the !NewsDir and !Newsbase applications from the archive
- over the top of your original applications. (This will merge the new files in
- with the old ones)
-
- Now, load up newsbase, and select the setup option.
- Click on where it says transports, and select termite for all options.
-
- OK..it's now fully installed. After receiving your mail&news from termite,
- just load newsbase & ttfn just as if it was !TCPIP you had used.
-
- Bug reports & stuff
- -------------------
- If you want anything adding to the transport, or any bugs fixing, please
- mail me at:
-
- Also, if you can offer me help with any improvements, they would be most
- welcome.

-
- Also available soon/now are:
- ----------------------------
- • !AutoUUE
- Decode binaries (single and split files!) from your news file
- automatically when you boot !Newsbase
- • DirconSLIP
- For anyone with Termite internet, and a Direct Connection Internet
- account (company like Demon, before you ask!) this is the script file I
- wrote for connecting with.
