REQNEWS MAIL SERVER V1.00 FOR WINPACK
=====================================

REQNEWS is an accompaniment to the NEWS.EXE External program, 
Using the server a remote station can request a copy of your NEWS.TXT file.
or you can request the news from another station...

To use the server send a msg to the remote station with /REQNEWS as the 
title, the server responds by forwarding NEWS.TXT (if it exists)

Should the news.txt file be larger than 3k bytes, then the server will split
the file into a series of 3k messages and will be released on a 4 parts per
day basis but do try to keep the news items brief!

If you havn't got NEWS.EXE installed then don't worry, the server will still
work, create a file called NEWS.TXT enter your NEWS ditties and save the 
file to the WINPACK\EXTERN directory...

If you missed the release of NEWS.EXE and would like a copy then send me a
message titled:
 
 /REQFIL WINPACK\NEWS.ZIP


Installation.
=============

Copy: 
 REQNEWS.EXE  to  WINPACK\SERVERS
 REQNEWS.PIF  to  WINDOWS (or whatever your windows directory is called)

If you have XHELP installed then:

Copy: 
 REQNEWS.TXT  to  WINPACK\EXTERN\XHELP

That's it! remember to load the PIF file into Window's PIF editor and check
that the STARTUP DIRECTORY matches that of your Winpack installation,
default is: C:\WINPACK\SERVERS and that should suffice in most cases.

In Use.
=======
To test the server send a msg to your BBS with /REQNEWS in the
title, the next time Winpack goes into the BBS the server should spring into
action...

If you get a "STARTUP DIRECTORY NOT FOUND" or similar msg then check the pif
file and edit accordingly... (remember to save the file!)

Also included in this zip is a file called SERVWIN.TXT this tells you how
to shrink the server window down to caption size...
