Starting the Offline Reader System
The Offline Reader System may be started from the shell prompt by entering
"olmenu", or may be installed on a menu system:
---------------
Configuring the Offline Reader System
From the main screen, you may choose how Reply and New packets, mail
and news articles are handled by entering one of the letter selections
in the menu. Entering selections U, D, M, N, or R will toggle the setting.
You may choose:
U) Upload Reply Packet: NO
D) Download New Packet: YES
M) Read Mail: YES
N) Read News: NO
R) Mark new messages as read? YES
C) Configure Offline Reader System
E) Execute with session settings
Q) Quit
Entering C will present the configuration menu:
P) Packet type is:
S) SOUP Reply Packet Name is:
O) SOUP Out Packet Name is:
Q) QWK/BlueWave Reply Packet Name is:
W) QWK/BlueWave Out Packet Name is:
Z) ZipNews Reply Packet Name is:
N) ZipNews Out Packet Name is:
D) Working Directory is:
T) File Transfer Protocol is:
A) Prompt before deleting d/l packet:
C) Change Out Packet Size:
X) Return to Main Menu
Selection P toggles among the packet format types.
Selections S, O, Q, W, Z, and N allow you to change the packet names.
Selection O renames the working directory used by the reader system.
Selection T will present a menu with file transfer protocols:
X) Xmodem
Y) Ymodem
Z) Zmodem
F) ftp
Selection A gives you the option of having the download (d/l) packet
deleted automatically after downloading, or of being prompted to (S)ave
or (D)elete the d/l packet. The default is NO (that is, to NOT be prompted).
If ftp is the transfer protocol, you are always prompted.
Selection C allows you to change the size of the New (download) Packet.
The default value is 4000 blocks of 128 bytes each, which is roughly
500kb before zipping. You may change this to a larger value, or to
0 (zero), which allows UQWK to pack everything selected regardless of
size. Use caution when resetting this value!
---------------
Execute the Offline Reader System using the current configuration and
session settings by entering E from the Main Menu.
Entering Q will terminate the Offline Reader System and return you either to
the menu system or the shell prompt.
The configuration is saved upon exit and loaded when OLMenu is invoked.
---------------
Running in a telnet session
When running in a telnet session to your shell account, an ftp session
will be used to transfer the reply file and/or the new message file,
created by OLMenu and uqwk, between Connect Atlanta and your local terminal.
When instructed, you will switch to your ftp session and transfer the
file requested, then switch back to the telnet session to continue with
the Offline Reader System.
