- !Configure file for WimpLink 1.02/Unregistered
- ==============================================
-
-
- This unregistered version of WimpLink is preconfigured to a demonstration
- setup consisting of two AKAs and a number of example messages. To use this
- copy in real life you will need to alter its configuration; point data,
- arealists and address information.
-
- Use !WLConfig to alter the point data; run it and let !Help give you a
- guided tour around the configuration settings. One remark on compression of
- outbound mail: WimpLink supports Arc (the public domain command line tool,
- application-type or relocatable module), Spark and SparkFS.
-
- When configuring the compression part you are selecting just the compression
- type; WimpLink will try to use the best suitable compressor, complaining if
- no usable compression tool is (or appears to be) available. The three
- compressors' capabilities are read from the '!WimpLink.Data.Compress' file.
-
- Arealists are stored inside the AKA directories; they contain comment lines
- (starting with '~', useful for temporarily disabling areas) and area
- declaration lines. Area declaration lines contain a local name for the area,
- a comma and a 'remote name' used when packing mail and decoding inbound mail
- packets. Registered users can use !WLAreas to alter their area setup.
-
- Address information is contained in three files per AKA; an FTS-0005
- (St Louis, 'Classic'?) format nodelist, a FrontDoor-style pointlist and
- a WimpLink-specific userlist intended for users that are neither in the
- nodelist nor in the pointlist.
-
- Installation of the address lists is entirely optional; the information in
- them is used only for the convenience of automated address lookup.
- Nodelists, pointlists and userlists should be placed in the correct
- KnownAs.* directory as 'Nodes', 'Points' and 'Users', respectively.
-
- WimpLink can use the information in the files only if two index files have
- been generated by either !WLNodes or by the WLNodIndex tool supplied with
- this release. Follow the instructions in WLNodes' main window or run
- WLNodIndex (it will look for <WimpLink$Dir> so make sure you've double-
- clicked WimpLink at least once).
