;
; This text briefly summarizes the commands for oMAN's optional
; configuration file, OMAN.CFG. It is presented in lieu of a more
; complete, future documentation file.
;
; The OMAN.CFG file is only ecessary when you want to modify the way
; Bonk operates or to preset some items to allow quick invocation with
; minimal or no command line options.
;
; Assuming your OPUS parameter file were named MY.PRM and all of the
; OMAN files (EXE and HLP) were in your Opus home directory, the bare
; bones way to run Oman would be to enter ...
;
; CD \OPUS
; OMAN BBS
;
; In that case, no CFG file is needed. However, since your PRM file
; seldom changes name and you will probably want to use the VIDEO RAM
; option, then you might create the following CFG file ...
;
; VIDEO RAM
; PARAM MY
;
; Then, all you would need to do to run Oman would be to enter ...
;
;
; OMAN

;
; The rest of this text describes all of the other options that are
; possible to further tailor OMAN to your needs. The following
; characters are used throughout this text to described the various
; options:
;
; {} encloses required items
; [] encloses optional items
; | Separates choices

;-----------------------------------------------------------------------
; OMAN MODE ITEMS
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------
;
; CMDline {ON | Off}
;
; Tells Oman to ignore command line parameters. Useful only when
; parameters passed are not compatible with Oman. Default = ON.

; VIDEO { DOS | IBM | RAM [0xAAAA] | FOSSIL }
;
; Sets the Video Mode that Pman uses to write to the screen.
; DOS is the default and horrendously slow. Use RAM if possible.
;
; DOS ... Plain DOS calls / Very Slow / For any DOS machine
; IBM ... IBM BIOS calls / Slow / For most IBM-PC clones
; FOSSIL FOSSIL calls / Medium / Wherever FOSSIL loaded
;
; RAM ... Direct Screen / Fast / For exact IBM-PC clones
;
; Use the optional '0xAAAA' RAM suboption *only* when your video
; buffer address is non-standard. Oman normally auto-senses and
; uses the standard ones of 0xB000 and 0xB800 for MDA and xGA modes.
;
; Default = DOS.
;

; PARAM { None | path\prm }
;
; Tells Oman to either *not* expect any Opus.Prm file or to use the
; one specified. This option is seldom needed.
;
; Use "NONE" when you explicitly do *not* want to use a particular
; PRM file, setting all values in the Oman CFG file only.
;
; Specify "path\prm" when you want to use a secific PRM file. This
; allows you to run Oman without a PRM file on the command line.
;
;- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
; ULIST { path\name.ext }
;
; Specifies an alternate default path or device to use for the
; user manager's report output. Only needed if you do not like
; the existing default. In any case, you can override the default
; when you request the report.
;
;- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
; ALIST { path\name.ext }
;
; Specifies an alternate default path or device to use for the
; area manager's report output. Only needed if you do not like
; the existing default. In any case, you can override the default
; when you request the report.
;
;- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
; COLOR { ON | OFF }
;
; Forces color mode ON or OFF. Normally Oman uses the BIOS color
; mode to select between color or monochrome rendering of text.
; Use only if Oman selects the wrong setting for your setup.
;
;- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

; OHMfmt { FILEs | NOCALLs | ZARCs | ZMODs | ALL }
;
; Sets the default detail that is used when displaying mail objects
; in your outbound holding area by the Outbound Manager.
;
; FILEs ... Include files other than packets, attaches, and requests.
;
; When FILEs are included, include the following types ...
;
; NOCALLs ... Bad Connect Marker Files
; ZARCs ..... Zero-length mail archives (MO#, TU#, etc)
; ZMODs ..... Incomplete ZMODEM transfer restart data files
; ALL ....... All above file types

; EXEC { OUTBOUND | NODELIST | LOGVIEW | USER | AREA | EVENTS }
;
; If given, Oman jump starts into the given function without going
; through the initial PARAMETER or MAIN MENU and directly exits to
; DOS upon completion of that function. Good for quick entry and exit
; as might be the case in some REMOTE access situations.
;
;- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
; NAKEDREQ
;
; Use to disable the creation of a matching POLL for any File
; Requests created in the Outbound manager. When not used,
; a separate POLL item is made to force a call to the destination.

;-----------------------------------------------------------------------
;

; call count to your system as well as the quote pointer when any
; that is given in the PRM file is not the one you want or a PRM
; file is not used.
;
; Normally, Opus uses the given Event file to hold these values but
; in multiline cases, a common file is needed in order to accumulate
; the true total call count across all lines. This data is accessed
; by the Global Manager function.

; displays such characters unaltered.

; XLTOUT {path\file.ext} [ DUMP ]
;
; Defines and alternate 256 byte translate table to be used when
; displaying all output (not for input). This is to accommodate those
; systems that have character sets that are similar, but not identical,
; to the IBM extended character set as is the case with DEC Rainbows.
;
; If the 2nd paramter "DUMP" is used, the path is taken to be an
; output table to which the internal Oman translate table is dumped to.
; This is handy if you want create such a table but want to use the
; the internal one as a starting point to modify with a binary editor.

; REMPWD { password }
;
; Sets a password that is asked for and checked when you are invoking
; Oman remotely. It is intended to be a minimal but added level of
; security when remotely accessing Oman due to the extreme power that
; Oman would give to an interloper.

; FOSSIL { ACTIVE }
