Program: QF-MAIL v1.0 - Compiled on 08-25-93 Description: PPE (PCBoard Programming Executable) that you can replace the E)nter a Message Command in your FidoNet Netmail conference. This version works ONLY with Rob Kittredge's QFront. Also has the ability to be used as an online FidoNet nodelist browser. Installation: Installation is very simple, just unzip these files to a directory of your choice. Take a minute to edit the QF-MAIL.CNF to contain the propper paths to fit your system. Run PCBSETUP and edit your CMD.LST file in your * FidoNet Netmail conference so it will run this program in place of PCBoards (E) command. (remember that each PCBoard conference can have it's own CMD.LST file so changing the (E) command will not effect any other conferences) EXAMPLE ------- 1) E 0 C:\PCB\PPE\FPCBNM\QF-MAIL.PPE * Of course with the introduction of QFront version 5.12b you have the option of whether or not you want to use a PCBoard Netmail conference. In order to use QF-MAIL you must have a Netmail conference defined in QFront. Be sure to set security to turn off Return Receipts and Make all msgs "Private" -> YES. Be sure to copy the three text files Net_IN, FIDO_A and NORMAL all to the same directory as QF-MAIL.PPE. QF-MAIL.PPE is multi-lingual so it will recognize extentions when use with other languages. Installation as a BROWSE command can be added simply by appending a B after QF-MAIL.PPE. EXAMPLE ------- 1) BROWSE 0 C:\PCB\PPE\FPCBNM\QF-MAIL.PPE B Modifying: Feel free to modify the PPS (source) file as your needs dictate. That is why the source is included. Please upload a copy of the modified PPS (source) to City Lites BBS so I can see what you've done :-) Thanks To: Rob Kittredge, author of QFront, for adding the necessary command line addition to QFront to allow QF-MAIL to operate properly and for tips on making QF-MAIL what it is today.
