- FrontDoor Manager Public Announcement 01-May-1995
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- This is the public announcement of FrontDoor Manager 1.00.SW Gamma-1.
-
- Introduction
- ------------
-
- There hasn't been much software around which would display information
- about the BBS nodes and process incoming files and messages at an
- appropriate time. It is waste of time to let each task do their own mail
- tossing and scanning. Why not let one software do it all?
-
- We introduce you FrontDoor Manager which is a maintenance utility for
- FrontDoor (multiLine/Shareware). FrontDoor Manager supports also several
- BBS softwares including RemoteAccess, Concord and PCBoard.
-
- FrontDoor Manager has four main purposes which are accomplished by using
- external user defined software.
-
- FDMGR will toss and process all incoming mail packets. Tossing of
- thousands of messages can take over 30 minutes of on-line time away
- from users.
-
- FDMGR will process all incoming files. If you're a member of a large
- file network or even a file host or hub the process can take MUCH
- time which is away from your BBS users.
-
- FDMGR will take care of updating the nodelists.
-
- FDMGR is capable of handling internal and external events. At a user
- defined time it can execute an external software or an internal script
- or just exit back to the operating system.
-
- But that is not all. FrontDoor Manager has hundreds of great features
- including the following.
-
- FDMGR is fully DESQview and OS/2 aware. It takes advantage of the
- multitasking features and opens new tasks when required.
-
- FDMGR can be part of your BBS. You can make FDMGR to install itself on
- one of your BBS nodes as a visible user.
-
- FDMGR will reply messages written by users on-line with a user defined
- reply or the default reply.
-
- FDMGR can be used to send on-line messages to users.
-
- FDMGR can display task or node status with the current user
- information and last caller information.
-
- FDMGR has remote maintenance capabilities which gives the possibility
- to change the settings on-line or via netmail.
-
- Please note that not all the features are included in 1.00.SW Gamma-1.
