- What is PCB Freedom ??
-
- PCB Freedom v.1.50 is a mail server, for handling and managing mail packets
- from multiple bulletin boards. I deal with mail packets on several bulletin
- board systems, and wanted a script which would allow me to upload REP files
- and download QWK files from all of the systems I deal with, as
- automatically as possible.
-
- The result is PCB Freedom. It will manage mail on any PCBoard system
- running a Qmail, Cam-Mail, MarkMail, Kmail or Rosemail mail door, or on a
- WildCat system running a TomCat mail door. It will automatically upload any
- REP file, and delete it for you after a successful upload (so that you
- don't try to upload the same messages later), and, if so requested, will
- download a new QWK, storing it in a selected directory after it is
- downloaded, renaming it in the process to one of two different renaming
- schemes.
-
- Version 1.50 adds the ability to create a download list of files while
- offline, consisting of up to 10 files per system. When Freedom does the
- next mail run on that system, it will automatically get the files listed
- for that system, along with managing the mail on it.
-
- Thus, the name Freedom, since I hope that it will free a user from dealing
- directly (at least, 90% or more of the time) with systems set up under it.
-
- To install PCB Freedom 1.50, and configure it for proper operation, please
- read the file FREEDOM.TXT or FREEDOM.WRI.

- Support and questions
-
- Technical support is available at no charge by sending electronic mail to
- 72537,552 on CompuServe, or to Gregg Hommel on various e-mail nets
- (Intelec, RIME, ILink) in the ProComm conferences or Window conferences, or
- by sending regular Mail to :
-
- Gregg Hommel,
- Computer etceteras/WiGuys Software
- 19 Rushbrook Drive,
- Kitchener, ON Canada
- N2E 3C1
-
- I am also available by phone irregularly at (519) 745-9717 (mostly
- evenings).
-
- This same phone number, from 11:30 PM to 6 AM, Eastern Time, will give you
- access to my BBS. This is set up using another script application which I
- wrote with Toby Simkin, called GHOST BBS (v.2.00). This is a freeware
- replacement for the Datastorm provided Host script, with many features,
- enhancements and improvements (at least, in my opinion <G>). I offer
- support for both PCB Freedom and GHOST BBS here, and the latest release
- files and updates for both are always available here first.
-
- Registered users have priority for support but I will try to answer all
- questions from everyone.
-
-
- System Requirements :
-
- - Windows 3.0 or Windows 3.1, with ProComm Plus for Windows 1.00 or 1.01.
- The preferable requirements are Windows 3.1 and ProComm Plus for Windows
- 1.01. PCB Freedom also requires VGA (640x480) resolution or better to
- run.
