Short: QWK-door to be used on a BBS Type: comm/ums Uploader: johan.billing@kcc.ct.se (Johan Billing) Author: johan.billing@kcc.ct.se (Johan Billing) QWKDoor is a program that generates QWK mail bundles. It is used on a BBS to let the users download all unread messages so that they can read them without having to worry about the phonebill. The users can use programs such as AmiQWK and Q-Blue (Amiga) or BlueWave (MS-DOS) to comfortably read the mail and write replies that are uploaded to the BBS later. QWKDoor uses the UMS messagebase. If your BBS program doesn't support UMS, you will have to have two messagebases or get another QWK-door. Features of QWKDoor: o QWKDoor can split large messages into messages with a maximum number of lines that can be configured by the sysop and you can set a maximum number of messages in each bundle. These features were added because some readers can't handle long messages and/or too large bundles. o QWKDoor supports different charsets o Message size, number of charsets and number of archives are only limited by the amount of free memory. o Replies in one area can be automatically moved to an other area. o QWKDoor can be configured not to allow replies in certain areas o For each area there are different security levels for reading and writing messages. o You can allow a single user to read/write in an area that he normally wouldn't be able to read. You can also prevent a user from reading in an area, for example if he has been thrown out by the moderator. o You can add and drop areas from the offline reader if it supports it. o QWKDoor handles mail to other systems without any problems. o QWKDoor works when running a multi-line BBS o Hello, News and Goodbye files supported o QWKDoor can use a standard .newsrc file QWKDoor has been released as FreeWare. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 9436 1760 81.3% 12-Feb-94 20:52:24 Charsets/KMS_CHAR_0.DAT 9065 1790 80.2% 30-Mar-94 18:25:26 Charsets/KMS_CHAR_1.DAT 530 341 35.6% 14-Apr-94 18:17:54 KMS/Download.rexx 420 243 42.1% 14-Apr-94 18:38:56 KMS/QWK.KMS 505 320 36.6% 14-Apr-94 18:30:38 KMS/Upload.rexx 4318 1811 58.0% 15-Apr-94 23:50:20 QWK_User.doc 41872 20809 50.3% 26-May-94 20:28:32 QWKDoor 1369 609 55.5% 26-May-94 20:19:06 QWKDoor.prefs 15482 5904 61.8% 04-Jun-94 16:43:50 QWKDoor.guide -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 82997 33587 59.5% 10-Jun-94 11:53:48 9 files
