These files and folders should always be present in the OASIS2
folder. In addition to these items OASIS 2 can create other files. Please
take care if you delete any files from these folder.
In addition to these files there will be a folder named CONVERT on
your hard drive. This contains programs to convert OASIS files to the
new OASIS 2 standards.
If you have never used OASIS before you can skip this next Section.
======<<>>======
Conversion of OASIS Files.
E-Mail; Copy all the files with the following extension .EML and
.MSH from the OASIS\SPOOL\MAIL folder to the OASIS2\MAIL folder. Now copy
the files with the extension .IDX to the CONVERT folder and run
MAILCONV.PRG. When this program has finished copy the files with the
extension .MIX to the OASIS2\MAIL folder.
News: Copy all the files from the OASIS\SPOOL\NEWS\NEWSBASE
folder to the OASIS2\NEWS\ARTICLES folder. Next copy the ACTIVE.DAT and
NNTP.DAT files from the OASIS\SPOOL\NEWS folder to the CONVERT folder and
run NEWSCON.PRG. When this program has finished there will be a new file
in the CONVERT folder called GROUPS, copy this file to the OASIS2\NEWS
folder.
Yellow Pages: Copy all the files with the extension .YEL from the
OASIS\SPOOL\MAIL folder to the CONVERT folder and run YELCONV.PRG. When
this program has finished, there will be files with the same name as the
original files but with the extension .YPG. Now copy all the files with
the extension .YPG from the CONVERT folder to the OASIS2\MAIL folder.
Multi-Users: No conversion of the OASIS Multi-User files is
needed, so simply copy all the files with the extension .MU from the OASIS
folder to the OASIS2\SYSTEM folder.
======<<>>======
Configuring OASIS 2 and ICE.
Please read the file ICE_NET.TXT from the OASIS2\SYSTEM\DOCS folder
and then run ICE_NET.PRG.
!!!! THIS MUST BE DONE BEFORE YOU RUN OASIS 2 AND ICE !!!!
======<<>>======
PGP
If you use PGP, OASIS 2 will allow you to send PGP encrypted text and
decode any PGP files that you receive by calling PGP for you. As PGP is a
TOS program (ie does not use windows) it can mess up the screen when OASIS
2 calls it.
To get around this problem there will be a file called TOS2GEM.ZIP on
your hard drive, unpack these files and install it as described in the
TOS2GEM documents.
If TOS2GEM is not installed, or another program has reserved it for
use before OASIS 2 was run, OASIS 2 will not be able to call PGP for you.
In this case refer to the documentation supplied with TOS2GEM.
