- This is the EMX (OS/2) version of MultiMail v0.33. It requires at least
- OS/2 2.0 and the EMX runtime library to run.
-
- I've copied the basic Unix documentation to OS/2-format text files here,
- but the full source code is available in a separate archive.
-
- The first thing MultiMail will do when run is to look for its config file,
- MMAIL.RC. It will look for an environment variable, MMAIL, to specify a
- directory. If that's not defined, it will look for HOME; and finally, if
- neither is defined, it will use the current directory.
-
- By default, MultiMail will then generate a directory "mmail" under the
- same directory, and place its files and directories there -- a holdover
- from the Unix version. For OS/2, you might instead want to say "no" when
- prompted to continue, after the default MMAIL.RC is created; then, edit
- the "mmHomeDir" line and set it to the same location as MMAIL or HOME.
- (If you don't do this, it won't matter; it's just that there will be that
- extra directory level.) As of version 0.19, the autogenerated MMAIL.RC
- includes full (uncommented) definitions for all paths, which you'll also
- have to override; but commenting out or removing those lines is
- sufficient.
-
- In addition to the MultiMail package itself, you'll also need InfoZip or
- PKZIP (and/or LHA, ARJ, etc.) to uncompress the packets and compress the
- replies. InfoZip is available from:
-
- ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/
-
- PKZIP is at:
-
- ftp://ftp.pkware.com/
-
- PKZIP is the default for DOS; InfoZip is the default for other platforms.
- The programs should be installed somewhere in the PATH; otherwise, the
- full path must be specified in MMAIL.RC.
-
- This package includes some example color schemes, with ".col" extensions.
- How or whether you install these is up to you. (If you want to use them, I
- suggest putting them in your "mmail" directory. To select one, alter the
- "ColorFile" keyword in MMAIL.RC to point to it.)
-
- This was compiled with EMX 0.9c. To download EMX or the runtime library,
