Osiris SE ver. 2.02
(Available 04/17/91)
_____________________________________________________________
Osiris SE 2.02 is a fast, responsive, flexible system which
allows the owner to design much of his own CBIS without
having to write any program code.
Osiris comes in an economical single line version, as well as
multiple line versions supporting up to 255 lines.
NOTE: Versions supporting up to 5000
lines available on request.
Pricing is based on the number of lines supported starting at
$119.95 for a single line system and goes as high as $5000.00
for a 255 line system. Only pay for what you need and upgrade
for the price difference WHEN you need it.
Osiris requires a PC XT/AT, 80386, or 80486 class machine.
Osiris requires a multi-tasker for multiple lines such as
Desqview or a Network such as Lantastic, Novell, or 3Comm.
It is suggested that a Network be used for multiple lines to
decrease the chances of ALL your lines going down at once in
case of equipment failure.
Networking also affords you the luxury of using slower and
less costly computers for the other lines. You really only
need an XT motherboard, power supply, modem, and disk drive
for those additional lines.
Add the correct Front-End mailer and/or secondary processing
programs and you have a complete Fidonet, UUCP, or PCrelay
compatible system.
First time sysops can build a system to carry out their
communications needs quickly without being burdened with
complicated setups and designs.
Advance sysops can modify the system to suit their personal
tastes so quickly you can not believe it until you try it.
Osiris has power, speed, responsiveness, and flexibility
which have never before been seen in the micro-computer
world.
What do we mean by speed? The measure of a systems speed is
how close it approaches the ideal of being limited only by
the data transmission rate.
Osiris is capable of driving the serial port in excess of
38,400 bps using a 10 Mhz AT. This means if you timed the
transmission of a 192,000 byte file, it should take about 50
seconds.
On a single user system running on a 6 MHZ AT, Osiris was
clocked at over 20,000 bps! This included reading from the
harddrive, writing to the LOCAL screen, and sending the data
out the serial port.
We are not going to say there is no other CBIS software
capable of achieving this feat, we just have not found one
yet.
What do we mean by responsive? Osiris can accepts commands
at ANY time. On menu displays or command prompts you do not
have to wait for the prompt or even the end of the line.
Your callers have the option of using advanced command
stacking or HOTKEYS. Using command stacking, they can enter
commands that may be found 40 sub-systems away.
As amazing as Osiris is to operate when you call in, the
SYSOP side has to be seen to be believed.
Osiris is configured and maintained using a series of GUI
programs (some programs require a mouse) and a text editor or
ANSI draw program.
Using OSM you can define from 1 to 32000 Conference message
boards, and from 1 to 32000 file areas.
You can choose the command keys, types of areas, access
levels for the commands, flags for the commands, default
logon access levels, time limits, private system or public.
_____________________________________________________________
Your file areas can be in individual directories, grouped
into one directory and LOGICALLY sub-divided by Osiris. You
can have your file list in one directory, the physical files
in another directory, and have the uploads for that area go
to still yet another directory, you decide.
File Queued Downloading allows up to FORTY files to be
downloaded during a SINGLE session.
Advanced external protocol support allows an unlimited number
of protocols to be added, without having to resort to
batch files!
Why settle for outdated and slow protocols like Xmodem,
Ymodem, Kermit, and SEAlink when you can use faster and more
popular protocols like Tmodem, Zmodem, Jmodem, and Bimodem.
You have a proprietary protocol you want to use, just add it
in.
Full CD-ROM and WORM drive support.
Full archive support for Zip, Lharc, Arc, Pak, and ARJ (View
and extract with re-achive)
Archive integrity check on new uploads with optional
automatic virus scanning!
New files search and a FIND using a KEY word/phrase.
Each individual file listing contains information about WHO
uploaded the file, when it was uploaded, when it was last
downloaded, and how many times it has been downloaded.
Need tight control over who downloads a specific file? Osiris
allows you to PASSWORD protect individual files in PUBLIC
download areas.
Not only can you PASSWORD protect an individual file, you can
also instruct Osiris to delete the file once it has been
downloaded.
_____________________________________________________________
Creating menus is a breeze. Use any text editor and just draw
it!
Better yet, use a program like THEDRAW.
Thedraw is an ANSI "what you see is what you get" drawing
program. Select the layout, colors, and even the command line
prompt.
When your finished, compile the ANSI drawing and you have a
colorful menu ready to be used by those that support ANSI and
those that do not.
Create one menu or a series of menus and use the ITP Random
command and show randomly selected menus for the same area!
_____________________________________________________________
Osiris has a bi-polar message system with up to 32,000!
public message areas offering a WIDE range of configuration
options.
Public Message Areas (Echo or Local) have a DELAYED
POSTING option. You can assign area moderators to review
messages posted in these area and only after the moderator
has OK'ed the message will it be available for public view or
Echomail Export programs. If a moderator REJECTS a message,
the message is sent back to the person that posted it, in the
body of a REJECTION NOTICE (Moderators may work remotely).
TRUE ALIAS(tm) Support. Each caller record has a field that
allows callers to select an ALIAS name to use on the system,
in areas that allow it. New Conference mail checks as well as
Private Message Center New Mail check can find waiting mail
under the callers REAL name OR the ALIAS.
A separately maintained Message Center for Private
Messages between individuals on the system with CARBON
COPIES, Automatic Notification when the message has been
recieved, high speed auto-mail checking, and full ALIAS
support.
Your callers have the option of using a line editor or the
advanced Full S
