     feel free to mark it and download,

     as a normal file; after

     You have to accept this letter

     automatically deleted from the disk bbs


   - If you want to send someone

     private letter, the first tamp

     in any text editor,

     and so, specify the exact

     Corresponding address


   - Do not forget to "cap"

     letter, which reads as follows:


         From: Petr Petrov

         Who: Ivan Ivanov

         Origin: 812/12.20


     Origin - is your personal address in the

     network (one of the addresses), in which

     You'll wait for a response.


   - Out to download a letter to the bbs,

     permission from the sysop does not ask

     need, making sure only that the

     server disk space is enough


   - Further call on the bbs and upload

     his letter as a regular file, ie

     mark it with the key "GRAPH",

     put Modes "Transfer" and "Hobeta"

     and choose the option "Files"


   - As soon as the sysop will send your

     letter to the addressee, he removes it from

     disk (of course, except for

     case the addressee is

     this bbs)

 7. Working with the echo area (arias).


   - Echo area - it's as though the correspondence,

     Available to all comers, ie,

     Your message (msg) can

     read and respond to it any

     party network, on whatever bbs

     he was not


   - You can "connect" to any

     conversation, or you can make

     some conversation, you can

     ask any question "on"

     this particular echo area and

     shortly receive a

     on him a lot of answers ...


   - At first within OmegaNet

     planned only one aria:

     "Speccy"


   - All msg arias kept in a separate

     disk, ie bbs with one drive

     can not be simultaneously

     file and mail


   - All the msg is stored by dates of their

     writing, like that about looks

     directory "mail" record on the fourth
     Toe in January 1997:


     01-01-97.C

     02-01-97.C

     03-01-97.C

     001. C

     002. C

     003. C


     etc. ie files, "001", "002",

     "003" - fresh msg, misdirected only

     "Today", and files with the date in

     name - msg for the past few days


   - Writing letters to the same aria

     soap, except for one:

     file can have a name like

     anything, but to upload to bbs

     it can only type "Text; taking

     such a file, the server automatically

     give it the current number msg;

     a couple of days will be your msg

     are no longer under a separate number, and

     a "collection" msg by date


   - Rules of the echo of the conference is

     moderator, and he is watching them

     compliance, and he also "punishes

     offenders ", but these rules are regularly

     published in the aria, at least

     case can ask the moderator

     send them to your soap

 8. Completion of work with bbs.


   - In order to finish the job

     with bbs, use the macro

     "Offline", ie Press EXT +5


   - Wait until bbs pass

     You "Goodbye", and only then

     press the button on the modem and

     hang up


   - In any case do not tear

     connection is not performing this procedure,

     and not something you can get very

     "Fall" from the sysop, because

     and the server can easily

     hang ...
