VERSION 4 - JULY 12 2021
------------------------
A very minor release to fix the showing of personal messages on the status
screen in the mailer.
As a reminder... for this setting in Config-Packet/Mail Control:
When D'Bridge unpacks mail, you can be notified on Netmail and Echomail
messages addressed to you. Answer YES if you want an on-screen reminder
of personal messages or NO if you do not. When you read these messages with
the internal editor, the reminder goes away.
DBRIDGE.PMT (Personal Mail Total) is a two-line text file. The first line
is the number of personal NETmail messages and the second is for Echomail.
DBRIDGE.PMW (Personal Mail Waiting) is a text file containing a short
description of whats waiting to be read. If you are using BBS software or
some other editor to read your messages, be sure to erase both of these
files when done otherwise the reminder will remain or not be accurate.
D'Bridge also has an ability to call an external program when personal
messages are received and the AUDIO ALARMS setting in Config-Basic is
enabled. It will check for the presence of a batch file called PLAYMAIL.BAT
and run it if found. This allows you to play sound-files or run something
of your choice the moment you receive a personal message. Some obsessive-
compulsive users manipulate PLAYMAIL as a way to send an Internet email or
text message containing the list of personal mail waiting.
For more information on this, please look at the included PLAYMAIL.ZIP file.
A sample .WAV file and player is included for Microsoft Windows computers.
For "real-DOS", there are many simular freeware programs for Sound Blaster
cards, Tandy 1000 or others... even the PC speaker. Whatever you decide to
run, you MUST be sure that it does not require any input or the system will
halt until you intervene.
If there are certain names you do NOT wish to be notified when mail
arrives addressed to you, create a simple text-file with those names, one
per line, in a file called DBRIDGE.IPN (Ignore Personal Names).
