Short Message Reader
Version 1.00
28 March 1993
by Albert E. Vernon IV
┌───────────────┐
──────────────────────────────┤ DESCRIPTION ├─────────────────────────────────
└───────────────┘
Short Message Reader ("SMR") allows you to read the short messages written
to DATA\SMW.DAT by WWIV's ssm() function. Short Messages are the notes you
see that say, "So and so read your mail." or, "So and so downloaded FILE.ZIP"
┌───────────────┐
──────────────────────────────┤ INSTALLATION ├────────────────────────────────
└───────────────┘
1) Place SMR.EXE in your main bbs directory (where BBS.EXE resides).
When run, SMR will ask you which Short Message you would like to view.
It will then display the appropriate Short Message and to whom it is
addressed. Be aware that the message numbering starts at 0, instead of 1.
┌────────────────────┐
────────────────────────────┤ ABOUT THIS PROGRAM ├─────────────────────────────
└────────────────────┘
SMR was written as a learning exercise in C. It was compiled under Turbo C++
v1.01. I hearby release SMR to the public domain. Therefore, you are free
to copy and distribute SMR as long as the executable file and its included
documentation are not altered. SMR was a stepping stone in my programming
skills because it involves the use of data structures. With a little bit
of practice, I will be able to read any of WWIV's data stored in files, and
hopefully I'll be able to write programs that are more extensive (and
useful). :)

────────────────────────────┤ CREDITS ├─────────────────────────────
└────────────────────┘
Much appreciation to Tolkien for his permission to use his ENHANCE.C
functions which I modified in creating SMR. Call his board at 314-644-5777.
Thank you to Jim Nunn, Chemist, and Nix for beta-testing.
