Description:
- The whole idea of offline mail is to allow your callers to download
new messages and upload their replies, this saving a lot of online time,
and freeing up your system for the next caller.
- Blue Wave achieves this by using its own message packet format, the
structure of which has been released for public development. It also
allows for new file listings and file requests.
- If you change the structure of your message areas, you don't need to
reconfigure a thing with the Blue Wave door.
- On the caller's side, they have to use a Blue Wave compatable mail
reader, of which there are several available for DOS, Windows 3.1, Windows
95/NT, Macintosh, Amiga, and OS/2. Most of these readers are very
easy to configure and use.
- If you are using Maximus message area divisions, you will lose support for users that use version 3.12 or earlier of the reader. The author has been contacted about this.
- In your Maximus MSGAREA.CTL file, specify the full path and filename of the message area after the PATH keyword.
- If you are considering paying to register this door, try to contact CEC first, as there are several stories going around about delayed registration key mailings. I haven't had a problem myself, but I've been registered since the middle of 1996.
