INTERFACE
An External Mail Reading Utility for Celerity SysOp's
=====================================================
Interface is a general utility program for Celerity. In the first version
(this one), it contains an Offline SysOp Mail Reader, and a OneLiner editor.
OFFLINE SYSOP MAIL READER
=========================
This utility is so that SysOp's may scan through ALL of the mail stored
inside the BBS. The top of the screen shows a display monitor with a lot of
detailed information on the current piece of mail you are reading. You may
also toggle the deletion of the mail. This can come in very handy at some
times. For example, if you find an inappropriate message on the board, it
can be deleted, and you can notify that user it's unacceptable content.
Another use may be if there is a pesky user who keeps emailing you. If he
is requesting return receipts for the mail, you can just delete the receipts,
and he will never know you read them. Or, you can just read the users mail
offline, without the board ever sending the user a receipt. As you can see,
it has many uses.
ONELINER EDITOR
===============
This utility was written so that SysOp's may scan through all of the one-
liners on the board. This way, if people post stupid one-liners, or if they
post advertisements for their board using one-liners like 10 times, they
can easily be deleted and removed from the one-liner section.
SETTING UP
==========
All you have to do to setup, is to copy INTRFACE.EXE into your main Celerity
directory. It will read your Celerity configuration file from within there,
which will point it to your data directories. If you wish to be able to pack
the mail, then make sure the PACKMAIL.EXE file is in the data directory. For
more information on that, check the UTILS sub-directory from Celerity, and
read the documentation.
OPERATING THE PROGRAM
=====================
MAIN MENU
=========
Just use the arrow keys to scroll up and down from the main menu, and use
<Enter> to select an option. If you need some help, try F1.
KEYS
====
<Enter> -=- To continue to scan to the next message or one-liner
"D" -=- To toggle deletion of Email, or to instantly delete a one-liner
"Q" -=- To quit back to the main menu at any time
PACKING EMAIL
=============
Well, as for the PACKMAIL.EXE file, it doesn't seem to work? I've tried
it many times, but every time I run it, it seems to delete all of my mail
anyway. So, to pack your mail, just do it from within the program. If you
have any luck with PACKMAIL.EXE, or if you have a solution to the problem,
then please call my board, and let me know.
EXTENDED INFORMATION
====================
I have licensed the following program as freeware. Anyone may use this
program, as long as it is not distributed in any decompiled form. If you
enjoy this program, then all I ask you to do, is to call my BBS:
