-
- WHAT IS IT?
- ===========
-
- Ge2FMail will translate your GEcho setup files to the equivalent FMail
- files saving you reentering a complete setup.
- Because FMail and GEcho do not offer an exact match of features, not all
- but most of the setup info from GEcho will be translated to FMail.
-
-
- INSTALLATION
- ============
-
- You *must* run this program from FMail's subdirectory because that's
- the place where all setup files from FMail can be found.
- If you don't have FMail and GEcho in the same subdirectory Ge2FMail will
- try to find GEcho's setup files in the current subdirectory. If this is
- unsuccesfull Ge2FMail will try to find an environment variable pointing
- to the GEcho subdirectory.
-
-
- HELP INFO
- =========
-
- If you run Ge2FMail without any correct command line parameters or with
- a question mark as command line parameter you will get the following
- help screen:

- Usage: Ge2FMail ? Shows this information
- CONFIG Convert SETUP.GE to FMAIL.CFG
- AREAS Convert AREAFILE.GE to FMAIL.AR
- NODES Convert NODEFILE.GE to FMAIL.NOD
- ALL Performs all conversions above
-
- This program will *not* create FMAIL.CFG but only update it.
- If FMAIL.AR or FMAIL.NOD does not exist a new file is created.
- So, make sure that you created FMail's setup files FMAIL.CFG,
- and perhaps FMAIL.NOD and FMAIL.AR before using this program.
-
- Due to design differences between FMail and GEcho it's not possible
- to convert all details from GEcho's setup to FMail.
- Therefore, you should check FMail's setup after the conversion!
-
- The command line parameters are case insensitive.
-
-
-
- REMARKS ON USAGE
- ================
-
- If you do *not* have a working FMail setup run FSETUP.EXE and create the
- following file
-
- FMAIL.CFG
-
- by entering your FMail key info.
-
- It is wise to run 'GSetup pack' at this stage of the conversion.
- Now run Ge2FMail with 'ALL' (without the quote characters) to convert
- all GEcho setup files.
-
- If you *do* have a working FMail setup it is wise to run 'GSetup pack'
- before using Ge2FMail.
- You will never loose any FMail specific settings if you use the
- 'CONFIG', 'NODES' or 'AREAS' parameter because Ge2FMail only updates and
- not overwrites FMAIL.CFG, FMAIL.NOD and FMAIL.AR.
- But, if FMAIL.NOD and / or FMAIL.AR are absent a new file will be
- created.
-
-
- DISCLAIMER
- ==========
-
- This program was developed with FMail v0.40/beta and GEcho v1.0/beta
- (April 27, 1992) at hand.
- Because GEcho is in a beta state, changes in the structure of the
- setup files could be made by Gerard van der Land.
- As long as the file structures of both FMail and GEcho will be made
- available to me i will change Ge2FMail accordingly.
-

- REGISTRATION

- receiving a nice postcard from you.

-
- BUGS AND NEW FEATURES
- =====================
-
- As far as i was able to test this progran does what i intended it to
- do but it's not impossible that it's not perfect.
- Please send all comments and bugreports with as much details as
- possible to me and i will do my best to implement new features and
- kill the bugs.
-
-
- THANKS
- ======
-
- I would like to thank the author of FMail, Folkert Wijnstra, for giving
- me the file structures of his fine program without any hesitation.
- Peter Lindeman and Rick Kelly had the guts to try my program in all its
- incomplete stages and even dared to suggest improvements.
