- FMAIL 1.42 gamma
- ================
- This is a gamma release which is intended for REGISTERED USERS ONLY, except
- for the new QuickBBS GoldBase version which may be used by unregistered
- persons too. Please make a backup of both data files AND program files first
- before installing this new version! The layout of the config files has changed,
- so if you want to go back to a previous version after installing 1.42g,
- you should restore the original config files as well.
-
- DOCS
- ====
- Since I didn't want to let you wait any longer for a new version of FMail,
- I haven't been able to update the docs. I hope this will not cause too much
- inconvenience. I'll try to update the docs as soon as possible.
-
- IF YOU CARRY MORE ECHO AREAS THAN THE STANDARD VERSION OF FSETUP CAN HANDLE
- ===========================================================================
- The current version of FSetup requires more memory than the previous ones.
- As a consequence, you may encounter problems when entering the Area Manager.
- You could try using the DPMI version of FSetup which can be found in the FMail
- DPMI package. You can only use this version of FSetup if you use a 80386
- computer or higher.
-
- MIXING DPMI 16/32 VERSIONS
- ==========================
- The FMail DPMI package contains both 16 bit and 32 bit versions. Running
- those versions at the same time may cause problems. So don't try to start
- FSetup (16 bit) and FMailX32 or FToolsX32 at the same time.
-
- WHICH FMAIL TO USE
- ==================
- Standard DOS version: If you run a 8086 or 80286 computer or if you have
- a 80386 computer or higher and you don't carry too
- many echomail areas.
- DPMI version: If you use a 80386 computer or higher and carry
- more areas than the standard version can handle.
- The DPMI version comes in two flavours: 16 bit DPMI
- and 32 bit DPMI. The 32 bit version can handle more
- areas and has better dupe detection facilities.
- Sometimes this version causes problems. In that case
- you could try using the 16 bit version.
- Windows/32 version If you run FMail under Windows/95 or NT.
- OS/2 version: if you run FMail under OS/2.
-
- GOLDBASE
- ========
- The GoldBase version of FMail uses the QUICK environment variable to locate
- the NETMAIL.DAT and ECHOMAIL.DAT files.
