Background Information

The Servers them seelves although writen in Visual basic tend to er on the side, well i hope so anyway, of being as fast as possible and so in order to do this I now have moved away from the idea of the server bringing up a box in the corner of the screen and waiting in order that you see the box this is ok for message activated servers but the ones like mine which run for every outgoin message it can become a pain to say the least. Especially if like me you do not have a fast machine, the servers are also fully 16 bit compatible and only require the standard Visual Basic DLL to run and no other third party DLL's so you should have no trouble in running them even on a lowly 386. They are know to work with Winpack v6.1 and v6.2 (I have tested them with both personally) and should run with v5.x

The Servers Themselves

Header v2.1

This server is if I may say so myself the near perfect developement of my original Header server and hopefully should now meet everybodies needs I say that alltogether tounge in cheek though after some annoing unsolvable problems that have cropped up in earlier versions including the dreaded blank message syndrom which I suffered from for quite a while and involved my server not completely handling the message but instead crashing and so me sending out blank messages.

Setting the Server Up!

1. Unzip the files into a spare directory
2. Delete Any Old files to do with previous versions of the Header Server
3. Move HEADER.EXE into the WINPACK\SERVERS\SEND Directory
4. Edit the file HEADERS which has the following format
   

   Number of Headers in the File	2 
   Name of First Header		DEFAULT
   Header Text (MultiLine)		Blah Blah Blah
   End of Definition Block		***
   Name of Second Header		JIM
   Header text (MultiLine)		Hi Jim
   				A message for u!!
   End of Definiton Block		***
   

   
   
5. Save the file in WINPACK\SERVERS\SEND

You May have any number of definitons in the file but you must have at least one, this is the one which will be used if no alternative choice is made.

Using The Server

Whenever Winpack trys to forard a message the server itself is run and the message is passed to it, the Server searches the message for a line begining with "/" and then reads the text after this for a Name fo a header which has been defined above (If this name is later found to not exist the default one will be used!)

RLine v1.1

Setting the Server Up.

1. Delete Any files from any earlier versions of RLINE.EXE
2. Extract the RLINE.EXE file from the .ZIP fiel and place it in WINPACK\SERVERS\RECEIVE
