About
=====
Vstr is a string library designed for network communication, but
applicable in a number of other areas. It works on the idea of
separate nodes of information, and the length/ptr model and not the
termination model of "C strings". It does dynamic resizing of strings
as you add/delete data.
It can also do automatic referencing for mmap() areas of memory, and
includes a portable version of a printf-like function (which is ISO
9899:1999 compliant, and includes support for i18n parameter position
modifiers).
Other convienience functions are also included, so you can: easily
split data from a string into sections (similar to perl's split
function); and get string data from a socket or put data to a
socket.

Subject: blueMail 0.12 - a multi-format offline mail reader
I'm proud to announce new version 0.12 of blueMail with lots of new
features:
* Reply driver for Hippo, OMEN, SOUP and Unix mail
* Area Offline Configuration for Blue Wave, QWK/QWKE, Hippo, OMEN, SOUP
* Addressbook can be invoked during message header input
* On-Screen Clock
* Bug fixes and many improvements
What is blueMail?
=================
blueMail is a multi-format offline mail reader for Unix, DOS, Win32, and
other systems.
It supports the Blue Wave, QWK, QWKE, SOUP, OMEN and Hippo packet formats,
the Hudson and BBBS Message Bases, Unix mail, Eudora and is designed to
be a reasonable alternative to the Blue Wave mail reader. It has a full
screen, colored user interface built with the curses library.
blueMail is free, "open source" software, provided "as is", without
warranty of any kind, distributed under the GNU General Public License.
Its current maintainer is Ingo Brueckl <ib@wupperonline.de> and will not
accept liability resulting from your use or inability to use blueMail.
You can get the latest version from
http://home.wtal.de/ib/bluemail
and, if you need a program creating and posting SOUP packets (needs
Windows; German documentation only), try SOUPlate which is available
from
http://home.wtal.de/ib/freisoft
Requirements
============
* Unix-compatible (POSIX) system, DOS with DJGPP, Cygwin with Windows, or
OS/2 with EMX
* curses -- tested with ncurses 1.9.3+, and PDCurses 2.2+
* gcc (g++) 2.7.0+ -- may work with other C++ compilers, not tested
* InfoZip, and/or other compressing archivers
* GNU make *may* be required on some systems
* PMODE/DJ (by Thomas Pytel and Matthias Grimrath) and UPX (by Markus
Oberhumer & Laszlo Molnar) is recommended (and used) for the DOS binary
What's new in this version?
===========================
You can find a list of new features and improvements in the history file
together with a list of new options for the configuration file since
version 0.01.
See INSTALL for the installation procedure, and the man page (bmail.1, or
bmail.txt for DOS, Windows or OS/2) for information on usage.
Tested Systems
==============
blueMail will run on multiple platforms, like
MSDOS 6.22 (DJGPP, PDCurses)
Linux 2.0, 2.2, 2.4 (gcc, egcs, ncurses, PDCurses aka XCurses)
Windows 9x/NT (Cygwin, PDCurses)
and - untested -
OS/2 (emx, PDCurses)
NetBSD (ncurses)
Solaris (curses)
(Please understand that it is impossible to continuously test blueMail on
all platforms, so there may be bugs on platforms other than my developing
platform DOS, but I'll try to fix all bugs I'll be told.)
If you get it running on a dissimilar system, please let me know (along
with any necessary patches).
