Telix v3.5x - Host+ Introductions 1
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Host+ Description
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Host+ is a remote system that may be used as a complete BBS. It is
fast, friendly, extremely flexible, and powerful enough to be
customized for each person's tastes. Even novice computer users may
have it up and running in minutes.
Host+ has been written for the Telix communications program using SALT
(Script Application Language for Telix) -- a powerful and extensive
communications script language.
Here are some of the advanced features you will find in Host+:
■ Fully working message bases, file bases, ability to drop to DOS,
and support for user added doors.
■ May be configured to run multiple conferences for files and
messages.
■ A FSME (Full Screen Message Editor) that allows quoting of
messages. Messages may be up to 99 lines long. A Line Message
Editor is included for those whose machines do not support ANSI.
■ Add any file from any drive to the files base with the
ADDFILES.EXE program. Accepts 1000 files per directory and 100
tagged files with full mouse support.
■ A file management program, or file compressor (HPCOMP.EXE)
controls all message, file, and user datBILITY T
