Short: Offline Reader for BBS/Internet usage, main archive Author: Ultima Thule Software (thor@hstud6.cs.uit.no) Uploader: Petter Nilsen (pettern@icenet.no) Type: comm/thor Replaces: thor201.lha 950911 - THOR - Release 2.1 Copyright (C) 1993-1995 Ultima Thule Software, All Rights Reserved. THOR 2.1 is an advanced multi-format offline reader, supporting the QWK, Fido, UUCP, SOUP, Bluewave, Omen, ABBS, MBBS and Hippo (BBBS) message formats. It will also handle TCP-connections with NNTP, SMTP and POP3. Changes from 2.01 to 2.1: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Recursive multipart MIME message and binary support. - MIME binary part messages can now be viewed inline (only pictures, OS 3.x required), viewed with Multiview (pictures + anims, OS 3.x required) or saved. - New sort/group mode added: Subject+Thread. Will group the threads by subject in the "TIN-way". When a thread is selected, the thread will expand to include all messages in the msglist window. When some other thread is selected, the expanded thread will be folded again. - Return-Receipt and Encode 8-bit (quoted-printable on MIME) can be used when writing messages if the system type supports it. - The numeric keyboard can be used for navigation in most windows. - Multiselection on join conference. - Multiselection in the message list window implemented. By multiselecting messages, you can print, save, mark them with unread/keep/superunread/delete flags and do various things from ARexx with the selected messages. - Window picture will be used in progressbars - The list of users in the user database window has been expanded to include more information. - ALL replies on a news/mail kind of system will be a reply event with a correct reference header, if the type supports it. - Getting news with the TCP tools will let you define the number of sockets to use. Using more than one socket will speed up collection of news with 30-80%. Highlights in THOR 2.1: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Flexible message database system with true history, message marking, searching and threading. - Copyback and write-through file buffering system. - Internal editor with ARexx and macro recording support. - Extensive ARexx support with the main THOR ARexx port, the bbsread command host library and the FSE internal editor (a total of 123 commands).

Many useful and powerful ARexx scripts are included. - All events (messages you write, etc.) can be edited freely after having been entered. - Advanced purging system with Global settings for days and/or number of messages to keep. Each conference can also have separate settings. - User name database with a fast look-up table of names and editor. - File database. - Kill/Emphasize database with advanced support for all message fields and several "haze"-levels. Wildcards are fully supported. - Locale support. - Support for 15 international character sets. - Supports new 3.0 features (newlook menus, memory pools, interleaved screens, 24 bit palette, screen and window pictures, inline pictures, ....) - Font sensitive and Style Guide compliant user interface with a listview that support true ANSI colors, multi- and dragselection of entries. - Advanced and flexible forward string, tagfile and signature system. - It is possible to edit data, edit text, freeze and activate events. - All search functions can take standard AmigaDOS wildcards. - Optional reflow of message text imported into the editor. - Extensive support for MIME on news and mail - Progressbar on time-consuming operations. - Extensive documentation (450K+). + a lot more..
