──║█▓▒░ Introduction ░▒▓█║─────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
SL/BLUE is a BlueWave compatible offline mail door. Because I'm in a
rush (this IS a beta...), I'll quickly list a few of the features...
* Send/Recieve BlueWave mail packets (for use with the BlueWave offline
reader)
* Scans for NEW, and PERSONAL mail!
* Uses full security (postable/readable, attributes, etc...)
* Allows user to Join/Unjoin accessable subboards from home, and then
upload the new configuration on the next call. The user will then be
Joined/Unjoined to any selected subboards, automatically.
* Configurable Archive/Protocol settings...
and more...
──║█▓▒░ Set Up ░▒▓█║───────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
To set it up.. just FIVE easy steps.
STEP 1: Make a directory for SL/Blue. Unzip the contents of this archive
into it... Easy enough?
STEP 2: Create a TEMP directory from this directory.
(eg. If you unzipped SL/Blue into "C:\BLUEW", make the directory
"C:\BLUEW\TEMP")
STEP 3: In the main SL/Blue directory, create a file called:
"SLBLUE.SUB"
This is a simple text file. (Use your favorite editor..)...
Enter a list of ALL the subboards you wish to enable
import/export for. (Please note, SL/Blue does check for
access with attributes and security levels for all areas...
it is recommended you enter *ALL* subboards here.) You may
want to copy your "MAIN.SUB" file here to save time. (Be
sure to rename it.)
eg:
<beginning of file>
GENERAL
SL_GENERAL
SL_JOKES
..
..
etc..
<end of file>
For those of you who don't want to spend the time doing this,
you may run the enlosed program "UTIL.EXE". This will scan
your .SL2 files and create this list for you...
STEP 4: Run "CONFIG.EXE"... it should be self-explanatory...
General Setup -
Temp Directory : This is a temporary work
directory. make sure it is
empty, any contents will be
deleted.
PacketID : This is a short, up to 8
character BBS ID. Try to
use something similar to
your BBS name...
Registration # : When (if?) you register
SL/Blue, you will be given
a code number. Enter it here.

Include Files : If you wish to include a file
or bulletin for display within
the offline reader, specify it

The files MUST be in the same
directory as SL/Blue.
Archive Setup -
(The Default Archiver is *ALWAYS* #1. There MUST be
an entry for this.
Archive Name : Name of the archiver (eg. ZIP)
Compress Command : The command line to compress
the file. Specify the filename

%F and %S respectively.

the file. Specify the filename
