- README for V-MailServer 2.00 Beta 1.03
- --------------------------------------
-
- You must unarchive the V-MailServer files using the command:
- "PKUNZIP -d VMS200". The reason is that many of the configuration and
- text files are in separate subdirectories. VINSTALL looks in these
- subdirectories for the files.
-
- NOTE!!!!!!!!!
-
- If you already have V-MailServer installed, MAKE SURE you install this
- version to a different subdirectory. VINSTALL will overwrite files
- without warning.
-
- Details about installation and upgrading are in VMAIL.DOC, in the
- Installation section.
-
- As a note, the structure of some files has changed. It is much simpler
- to install V-MailServer into a new subdirectory, and copy any existing
- configuration data to the new files, than to update existing files.
-
- If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. The
- file SUPPORT.DOC contains all the details about how to reach me.
-
- See HISTORY.DOC for a list of changes made to this version.
-
- Much of the documentation uses IBM graphics characters for underlines
- are separating lines. If your printer cannot print these characters,
- you can strip them from the files using the supplied NOGRAPH program.
- NOGRAPH is a very simple filter program that reads from the standard
- input and writes to the standard output, replacing all graphics
- characters with spaces. An example:
-
- NOGRAPH < VMAIL.DOC > VMAIL.TXT
-
- VMAIL.TXT will print correctly on any printer.
-
-
- Upgrading from Beta 1.02
- ------------------------
-
- Upgrading from Beta 1.02 is simple; simply overwrite the existing
- executable files with the new ones. There is no need to re-run
- VINSTALL.
-
- There are a few new configuration parameters - "LogType",
- "Mail-Spool-Drive", "Minimum-Free-Spool". See the source VMS.CFG file,
- the Install section in VMAIL.DOC, and the Configuration File section for
- more details.
-
- The header conversion files now can use the "*" wildcard in the STRIP
- command. See the files "default.hc" and "queue.hc", in the ACL
- subdirectory for examples. I've added more headers to them that need to
- be stripped. You should update your files accordingly.
