As a member of the EZ-E-Mail Network, you participate in an organization which centers around the electronic communication needs of its members. EZ-E-Mail makes communication among multiple remote locations simpler, more efficient, and more cost-effective. EZ-E-Mail uses standard telephone lines to carry electronic mail messages (E-Mail) between personal computers equipped with the EZMailBox software as well as other electronic mail services. An E-Mail message can be correspondence, computer files, worksheets -- any file stored on your computer system. EZ-E-Mail is simple and easy to use. Menu pulldown selections. There is no need to learn a new editor to compose E-Mail messages. You can set your favorite text editor in the EZMailBox Configuration menu selection. Online help is provided and can be accessed from the main menu bar. Or you can press [F1] at any time from any point in the program, and additional online information about the current selected item will be displayed. To return to your selected window, press the [Esc] key. __________________________________________________________________________ 1.2 Advantages of EZ-E-Mail over Fax or direct modem connections. EZ-E-Mail gives the addressee an editable/usable file upon receipt of the transmission. Fax does not. EZ-E-Mail can send to multiple addressees with one transmission. Fax cannot. EZ-E-Mail is simpler and more convenient to use. Create your message once and send it. With Fax, you must type the file, print it, and then use a Fax machine to send it. EZ-E-Mail uses telephone lines to transmit/receive messages without any extra inconvenience. Fax requires either a dedicated telephone line or special equipment. EZ-E-Mail software is free of charge. In order to have a direct connection, both users must purchase the compatible software. In order to send the messages, one user must first determine that the other user's telephone line is free. This is usually done by calling the other party to ensure that the line will be free to call and accept the connection. __________________________________________________________________________ 1.3 Gateway to other mail services. Currently, EZ-E-Mail serves as a gateway to MCI Mail(sm), CompuServe(tm), Internet, usenet, and Fidonet. This gateway service is provided at no additional charge. __________________________________________________________________________ 1.4 EZ-E-Mail is cost-effective. Subscribers pay only a flat rate, no message unit fees, and no extra charge for sending the same message to multiple addressees. The message is sent once to the Central Post Office (CPO) and forwarded from there to all the addressees. Connect time is minimized. Subscribers create all their files and mail messages BEFORE connecting to the CPO. Mail messages and files are compressed upon completion. They are then queued for delivery. Only when you click on the Connect to CPO selection does the dialup start. Therefore, the only telephone company charge will be for the amount of time required to send the queued mail. __________________________________________________________________________ 1.5 Encryption Protection Mail messages and files are encrypted upon exiting from the editor. Upon receipt, the message or file is decrypted automatically. __________________________________________________________________________ 1.6 Subscription Information and Rates The first month of EZ-E-Mail service is a trial period and no payment is due. Thereafter, fees are due and payable in advance by check or money order either monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or yearly. A user is not fully registered until payment is received by Shecora Associates, Inc. Subscribers will be billed electronically for their mail service. If a check is returned for any reason by the bank, a surcharge of $15.00 will be assessed. In addition, until the bank return fee and the subscription fee are paid and cleared, the user's account will be frozen. The CPO will accept mail to that account, but will not allow downloading to the user until the account bill is settled. Rates --- Monthly $ 7.00 (US) $ 8.00 (CDN) --- Quarterly $ 19.00 (US) $ 21.00 (CDN) --- Semi-annually $ 35.00 (US) $ 38.00 (CDN) --- Yearly $ 60.00 (US) $ 65.00 (CDN) __________________________________________________________________________ 1.7 Checking Mail Mail should be checked a minimum of every three days. It is recommended that mail be checked once a day. Mail pending at the CPO older than 80 hours will be DELETED WITHOUT NOTICE. If a subscriber knows in advance that he/she will not be available to pick up mail within the 80-hour limit, he/she should send mail to "help" stating the start and expiration date for the CPO to hold the mail. Allow three working days for this request to be processed. __________________________________________________________________________ 1.8 Hardware Requirements Each subscriber must have an IBM-compatible DOS-based personal computer and a Hayes-compatible modem. If you are using a 9600 baud Hayes compatible modem, it must be V.32 compliant and RTS/CTS must be enabled. This setting is generally enabled by typing "AT&K3" in the modem configuration. A hard disk is highly recommended. If you are running EZMailBox in a network configuration, be advised that networks are not supported in this version and therefore you may experience problems running multiple sessions of EZMailBox. __________________________________________________________________________ 1.9 Hotline/Technical Support Any problems, bug reports, or suggestions should be sent to Shecora Associates, Inc. via the EZ-E-Mail address: "help". Be advised that occasionally servers will need maintenance performed. Sundays, starting at 10:00am Eastern time until the maintenance is completed, has been designated as the time for these maintenance tasks. During that period, the server will be unavailable. Telephone Technical Support will be available from Monday through Friday, from 9:00 am to 11:00 p.m. and from 1:00pm to 5:00 p.m. Eastern time at 603-672-0736. __________________________________________________________________________ 1.10 Distribution of Software The EMKIT*.ZIP file can be distributed freely on floppy or via BBS accounts. NOTE: It is not recommended distributing .EXE files as these files are subject to viral attacks. __________________________________________________________________________ 1.11 U.S. Government Internet Domain Addressing Standard The EZMailBox software is the gateway for the EZ-E-Mail Service. Each subscriber must register a unique EZMailBox address. The EZMailBox address is based on the U.S. Government's Internet Domain Addressing Standard. A domain is comprised of a government-defined organizational identifier (such as sai.com) and may also contain one or more subdomains. The periods are the delimiters of the subdomains. The following is an example of the domain addressing standard: robert@tinsel.ME30675.sai.com In this example, "robert" is in the user field and is a unique user name for the EZMailBox account tinsel in the EZ-E-Mail subdomain .ME30675.sai.com. "tinsel" is the EZMailBox name. This is equal to your street address or P.O. Box number. ".ME30675" indicates a subdomain of the EZ-E-Mail address .sai.com. This is the same as your city and state. ".sai.com" is the government-defined organizational domain for EZ-E-Mail. This field is the name of your mail delivery service. Therefore, tinsel.ME30675.sai.com is the correct address for the EZMailBox name tinsel.ME30675 to receive mail. Because this standard allows more than one EZMailBox to be named tinsel, a user can choose a more meaningful name for his/her EZMailBox account name. In addition, this conformance to the Internet standard allows users to easily exchange mail with other electronic mail services. __________________________________________________________________________ 1.12 Limitations of Liability EZ-E-Mail and EZMailBox shall be provided to you upon the following terms and conditions: 1. Federal and state law prevents the use of EZ-E-Mail for the purpose and intent to annoy, threaten, or harass any person, and said laws further prevent any material which is obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, or indecent. Use of your EZ-E-Mail for these purposes or any other illegal or prohibited communications, including copyright or trademark infringement, may result in the discontinuance of EZ-E-Mail and where appropriate, the institution of legal action. 2. If any claims are made against EZ-E-Mail or Shecora Associates, Inc. relating to or arising out of any materials sent by you, you hereby agree to indemnify and hold EZ-E-Mail and Shecora Associates, Inc. harmless against any damages or expenses incurred by them in defending such an action. EZ-E-Mail and Shecora Associates, Inc. shall not be liable in any event for any special, indirect, or consequential damages suffered by a service user of EZ-E-Mail or a third party, including but not limited to any loss of profits, resulting from any act or inaction by EZ-E-Mail or Shecora Associates, Inc., regardless of whether they had any actual or constructive knowledge of said damages or actions. 3. Shecora Associates, Inc. may revise the prices, specifications, or any other aspect of EZ-E-Mail without prior notice to you. If you are dissatisfied with any of said charges, you may discontinue EZ-E-Mail by notifying Shecora Associates, Inc. Section 2 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS __________________________________________________________________________ The EMINSTAL executable file will step you through the entire installation procedure. If for any reason you are unable to complete the installation successfully, contact EZ-E-Mail Technical Support. The EZMailBox registration form asks for the following information: name, residential or business mailing address, domain code, telephone number, user name, EZMailBox name, and whether you choose to receive mail advertisements. __________________________________________________________________________ 2.1 Getting Started with EZ-E-Mail If you are installing EZMailBox from an original floppy or a copy (both of which should be write protected) of the original, you will have three files on the disk: README.1ST, an ASCII text file EMKIT106.EXE, the executable file EMKIT106.ZIP, the archived file To install EZMailBox software from the floppy drive (generally the A: drive), follow these steps: 1. Create a temporary directory on your hard disk. 2. Change your current drive to C: 3. Change your current directory to the temporary one just created. 4. Run the EMKIT106 executable or zip file from the temporary directory. Example: mkdir \temp C: (Your current drive is now the "C" drive) cd \temp A:EMKIT106 or PKUNZIP EMKIT106 The EMKIT106 executable file will unpack the following files to the current directory (in this example, the current directory is \temp): EMINSTAL.EXE READ.ME EZHELP.HLP PED.EXE-an ASCII text editor PED.DOC-documentation for the PED editor Now you are ready to complete the installation. At the prompt, type EMINSTAL. If you are using a monochrome monitor and find the letters difficult to see, start over and type EMINSTAL /m. The software will prompt you through the installation and will ask for the following information: 1. Enter the EZ-E-Mail home directory name. You must include the full path name, including the drive. The Tiny Word editor will be placed in the designated directory in \bin\ped Example: C:\ezemail Editor location: Example: C:\ezemail\bin\ped 2. A window and selection box now appears. You are asked to pick one of the directories in which to install the EZMBOX.BAT file. If you are not sure where to install the .BAT file, the recommended directory is C:\. Example: C:\ It is recommended that \ezemail be used as the preferred directory name for the installation of the EZMailBox software. The install program will then create the working directory for EZ-E-Mail. Example: C:\ezemail\user You start up EZMailBox by typing "ezmbox". There is a viral scan program included in the software. There is a 20% chance of it being invoked upon startup. If the viral check has been invoked, the initial startup will take longer while it checks the program. For each user you add, the software will create a user directory under the c:\ezemail\user directory. You are now ready to register your EZMailBox account. Until your EZMailBox account is registered, the program will display the READ.ME file each time you start up ezmbox. Typing "q" will quit you out of this file and pop up a window which will ask you if you want to register. If you choose "N" here, you will still proceed and be asked your user name. This is the name you will use to receive mail. Use your first name, last name, or any combination you wish. Do not use spaces between your first and last name. However, you will not be able to create or send mail until you register. You will then be asked if you are a new user. If you choose "N", you will exit from the program. If you choose "Y" at this point, you will go to the User Setup up window. After completing the requested information in this window, you can then proceed to register your EZMailBox account. If you choose "Y", you will immediately go to the registration form. Complete this form. (See the READ.ME file for instructions or press [F1] for additional help on any part of this form.) Once you have completed the registration form, press [F10] to save it. Then choose the Connect to CPO option in the Mail menu selection to activate your registration. The CPO will immediately send back an acknowledgment and a confirmation of your EZMailBox account name.

Example: To: *members __________________________________________________________________________ 3.4.3 User Setup There are three fields in this menu box. Editor: Enter any true text editor of your choice. (A true text editor creates an output file that is EXACTLY the same as the input file.) When you start up the Create Message option, this will be your editor. NOTE: Be aware that editors that are *.COM files may cause the system to hang. This problem does not occur with *.EXE files. PED.EXE, an ASCII text editor, has been included with the EZMailBox software for your convenience. PED can be used as your designated text editor. User Full Name: Enter the full name of the user. Enable User Password: The default is "N". If you wish to use password access, select "Y". You will then be asked to enter and verify a password. Enter your password. It will not appear in the bar.

The information required here includes: Your name Company name, if applicable Your (or your company's) mailing address EZMailBox subdomain name. This name can be up to nine characters long. It must start with a letter and include at least one numeric character or it will be refused by the registration process. For information on customized subdomains, which can reflect your business or organization, contact Customer Service. Home phone Business phone Any falsification of information in these fields will be cause for immediate discontinuance of EZ-E-Mail service. The default for receiving mail advertisements is "N". If you wish to receive unsolicited mail advertisements, select "Y". In addition, the program asks for the password for the EZMailBox name you are registering. As with the user password, the minimum number of characters is 6. They can be any combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, and/or numbers. Use only printable characters (no control characters). If you need to change the EZMailBox password for any reason, select the Change EZMailBox Password option. As soon as you complete the change, the software will call the CPO. The CPO will send back an acknowledgment that it has received the change.

Type the name of the addressee or alias file name. The software will continue to prompt you with the "TO:" until you press enter on an empty line. You will now be at the "Subject:" prompt. Add the subject you wish and press enter. The editor you had designated in the System Configuration window will now be invoked. When the editor is invoked to create mail messages, the software creates a temporary file. You can now create your message. When you exit from your editor, the software compresses and encrypts the message. A popup window will now appear and asks if you want to queue the message for transmission. If you choose "Y" the message is now queued to be sent. If you choose "N", the message is aborted. When you are ready to send all your messages, select the Connect to CPO option. Until you register the EZMailBox address this field will be disabled and appears in white on color monitors and in reverse video on monochrome monitors. __________________________________________________________________________ 3.5.2 Send File When you have a file ready to send, click on the Send File option.

Press enter and the next prompt is "TO:". Type in the addressee here and press enter. The subject line is now displayed. When you press enter again, your editor will be invoked and you can add a message to the file being transferred. Once you exit from the editor the file will be compressed, encrypted, and queued for sending. When a file is received by the user, the software files it in a special directory called \ezemail\user\"user name"\files. A system message is prepended to the mail message indicating the exact location of the file you received. For new EZMailBox addresses, this field will remain disabled until subscription payment is received at the CPO. __________________________________________________________________________ 3.5.3 Open Mail Box Clicking on this option pops up a window which displays all messages held in the inbox. __________________________________________________________________________ 3.5.4 Connect to CPO Clicking on this option sends all queued mail to the CPO for delivery and downloads all mail waiting at the CPO. __________________________________________________________________________ 3.5.5 Open Folder When the user clicks on this option, a window will pop up which asks for the name of the folder you wish to open. If the folder does not exist, you will receive a message to that effect. A folder can only be created within the Create Message option. If a user presses [Esc] while in any of the folder directories, any messages marked for deletion will not be deleted. __________________________________________________________________________ 3.6 Help __________________________________________________________________________ 3.6.1 About EZ-E-Mail EZMailBox Version 1.0 Copyright 1991 Shecora Associates, Inc. __________________________________________________________________________ 3.6.2 Gateways How to reach the different gateways: MCI Mail -- Examples: 123-6789@MCIMail.com RJones@MCIMail.com Robert_jones@mcimail.com CompuServe -- Example: 13654.4623@compuserve.com Internet -- Example: user@site.subdomain.domain Fidonet -- Fidonet has a unique addressing system. A typical Fido address is "1:987/654"; a typical Fido "point node" address is "1:987/654.32" or "987/654.32". This is zone 1, network 987, Fido (node) 654, "point node" 32. If the zone number is missing, assume it is zone 1. The zone number must be supplied in the outgoing message. To send a message to Bob Jones on Fidonet address 1:987/654, use the address: Bob.Jones@f654.n987.z1.fidonet.org To send a message to Fred Smith at Fidonet node 987/654.32, use the address: Fred.Smith@p32.f654.n987.z1.fidonet.org __________________________________________________________________________ 3.6.3 Display Read Me When the user clicks on this option, the entire user information file will be displayed. __________________________________________________________________________ 3.6.4 Your EZMailBox Address The EZMailBox software is the gateway for the EZ-E-Mail Service. Each subscriber must register a unique EZMailBox address. The EZMailBox address is based on the U.S. Government's Internet Domain Addressing Standard. A domain is comprised of a government-defined organizational identifier (such as sai.com) and may also contain one or more subdomains. The periods are the delimiters of the subdomains. The following is an example of the domain addressing standard: robert@tinsel.ME30675.sai.com In this example, "robert" is in the user field and is a unique user name for the EZMailBox account tinsel in the EZ-E-Mail subdomain .ME30675.sai.com. "tinsel" is the EZMailBox name. This is equal to your street address or P.O. Box number. ".ME30675" indicates a subdomain of the EZ-E-Mail address .sai.com. This is the same as your city and state. ".sai.com" is the government-defined organizational domain for EZ-E-Mail. This field is the name of your mail delivery service. Therefore, tinsel.ME30675.sai.com is the correct address for the EZMailBox name tinsel.ME30675 to receive mail. Because this standard allows more than one EZMailBox to be named tinsel, a user can choose a more meaningful name for his/her EZMailBox account name. In addition, this conformance to the Internet standard allows users to easily exchange mail with other electronic mail services. EZ-E-Mail is a service mark of Shecora Associates, Inc.
