ConfMail-ST 4.01 - 12th October 1990
------------------------------------
Introduction:
------------
This is a straight conversion from the PC version of ConfMail 4.00 compiled
with Lattice C version 5 with global optimising enabled. It should all
work exactly as described for the PC version, though I did find a few odd
little bugs and things in the original source and I also converted it into
ANSI style code for better error detections and warnings. It compiles now
with no warning or errors.
The reasons I reconverted it were
a) To overcome the minor bugs of Peter Glasmacher's conversion which
randomly swapped bytes around in messages and packets.
b) To allow me to add changes later on to make it work better or
incorporate it into my FiFo (Fido<->FoReM) program.
To New Users
------------
Print out and read CONFMAIL.DOC. ConfMail works best when used in
conjunctions with oMMM and BinkleyTerm.
To users of Peter Glasmacher's version
--------------------------------------
You can simply replace the old version of the program with this one.
You should no longer need to use CMFIX, which was written to get round a
bug in Peter Glasmacher's port several years ago. However it won't do any
harm if you do.
Comments
--------
When using the ARC options you must include the full path and name of the
archive program. It is a good idea to use John Webb's WhatArc program for
this and to let ConfMail unarchive incoming packets, but to let something
like oMMM do the Arcing of outgoing packets.
e.g.
ConfMail.ttp IMPORT -N -A C:\BIN\WHAT.TTP X
ConfMail.ttp EXPORT -R -O F:\BT\HOLD
The PC source code is not very well structured and so it is possible that
there may be somewere that it still does not reverse the byte ordering when
reading/writing files. I have tested with a lot of real message packets
and messages and it always seems to work for me.
Feedback

Please report any bugs or suggestions to me...
