ShowMail Version 1.0 May 22/1997
What is it:
-----------
This is a simple little door that display your users email address to them.
I wrote it because some of my users didn't grasp what I meant when I said
their address was first.last@... So I whipped this up so save me the bother
of reading the DOCS for my BBS package's MCI codes.
Installation should take you all of 10 seconds. Enjoy!
It gets the username from the dropfile. So if your system sends the Alias
instead of users realname in the dropfile, and your BBS uses realnames for
email, you should have your software change that value. Telegard,maximus etc
all allow this.
Features:
---------
·Supports ALL com ports & irq's (Fossil Driver req'ed)
·Locked baud rates up to 115,200bps!
·ANSi Emulation built-in! (ansi.sys not needed under any circumstances)
·DOOR.SYS and Dorinfo#.DEF Support!
·DesqView, OS/2, Windows, and Dos time slicing routines.
Native DOS and OS/2 versions.

It works on my system, but then it would wouldn't it? It's free so don't
