Short: EMS 1.0 - Electronic Mail System - powerful tool for handling mails Uploader: Christian Stelter (cosinus deepthought north de) Architecture: m68k-amigaos Type: comm/mail Author: Davide Massarenti (2:332/505.3@fidonet) Uploader: Christian Stelter (cosinus@deepthought.north.de) Description: First public Release - EMS is able to handle Fido and already in some parts UUCP. The purpose of EMS is made clear by the meaning of its name: to manage in an easy and uniform way an Electronic Mail System. The word "Mail", here, has a wider meaning than that of "Messages", since it als includes files, much the same way conventional mail also dispatches parcels. In an uniform way, I said. In fact, unlike other products, EMS can be used with FIDONET technology networks AND with USENET-kind network, with the same kind of interaction. The software takes on itself all the work required to overcome the differences between different networks. EMS is not a single, huge executable file, but rather a set of modules, configured as run-time libraries, each dealing with a different task. The whole thing only runs with Kickstart 2.0 or newer: it's both a choice (Kick 2.0 is a major step onwards if compared with earlier versions of the O.S), and a necessity, since BOOPSI only comes with the new operating system.
