Msgedsq ReadMe File v2.1
______________________________________

The files that should be in this archive are (2.1 release):

msged(p).exe     Msgedsq!
msgedsq.doc      Doccumentation
hist.doc         History of mods for this verison.
keycode(p).exe   Gives you the keycodes for keys
msged.cfg        Sample config file
areas.bbs        Sample areas.bbs file
rhelp.hlp        Reader Help file
ehelp.hlp        Editor Help file
readme           Readme file (this one)

If you didn't get all these then you should attemp a version that has all these
files (you don't know where it's been :).  If you find things don't work the
way you expect, please rftm; some things have changed.  You SHOULD use the
distributed cfg file - quite a few things are slighlty different.

When reporting bugs, please state the version you are using. The version is
displayed on the first screen when msgedsq is fired up.  If you're using a
beta version (one with a trailing "b"), don't expect much help unless you're
on the beta team (who aren't really a team, but know who they are :-).  Tho
bug reports are always "welcome" (;-), please ensure you have the latest
version.  Btw.  Note my new fido address.

Known Bug Alert!:  Do not enter/foward/copy etc. any message in an area
                   where the path is incorrect - it will crash.  If the
                   path is correct but the squish files don't exist, they
                   will be created.  This only applies to cases where the
                   path is definetley out/wrong.  This hasn't been fixed
                   because it requires quite a few fixes.  Only seems to
                   apply to squish areas,  but don't try it, just in case.

2.0.6 was never to be; I decided to go to a major release instead.  The DOCs
were still a little rushed, but they're certainly more complete than the last
version.  I'm finding that spare time is hard to come by at the moment, so
I released it, rather than make you guys wait another month :-)

OS/2 people:  This needs the msgapi.dll that comes with the Maximums CBCS 
distribution or the SquishMail distribution.  It should work with both
versions of the DLL (the v2 and v2wb releases of Maximus).

Once you're finished, all you need for operation is the msged.exe and
msged.cfg -- all the rest can be chucked away.  The help files will not
be used if they are not present.

The files are available from:

Colin Wheat    3:690/613   (Oz)
Alex Wyss      2:302/801   (Europe)
Edward Branley 1:396/10    (US)
Clay Tinsley   1:124/5125  (US)
Dallas Hinton  1:153/715   (Canada)

The filenames are usually:

Msq2_1.lzh    dos
Msq2_1p.lzh   OS/2

The above nodes will announce what to call for.
