NBF v2.06e (english version)
----------------------------
Introduction
NBF is a packet radio program for 32-bit Windows platforms (95/98/NT).
The program is written in Pascal and C (Delphi 4, Borland) by Reinhold,
OH1NBF. The documents are written by Jarkko, OH1KZN.
NBF is mainly intended for those people, who use packet daily and do
not want to spend their time separating interesting messages from the
bulletin flood. People using T4 (an excellent dos-program by OH2MKP)
will love it.
! NBF IS NOT A SUITABLE TOY FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO PLAY MAILBOX OR
TWIDDLE WITH COUNTLESS SETTINGS !
No registration is required. If you like it, please give it to your
friend too. Updates can be found at http://www.dlc.fi/~oh1kzn.
Main features
• Possibility for multiple connections in different windows plus
a monitoring window.
• Advanced list system. Automatic downloading and sorting of
message titles by various criteria, search feature.
• Compressed mail forwarding.
• Automatic HTML-viewer (currently requires IE5)
• Scandinavian characters work correctly, an important feature here
in Finland
• Automatic decoding of 7plus-files. Corrects shifted/missing
linefeeds automatically! (the most common reason for corrupted
7plus-messages)
• Remote commands
• Autobin protocol for file transfer (doesn't crash at 1MB, as
some programs do, hi)
• Optimized COM-port handling: real qso-speeds in excess of
850 cps possible on 9k6 (limited by the radio connection, not
the program)
• Direct FlexNet and Winsock (telnet) support, in addition to
the WA8DED hostmode.
• Sound (incoming connections, //bell-command, DX-tips)
• Uses windows clipboard
• A real 32-bit program, doesn't steal CPU time (eg. WinAmp
works simultaneously without any problems). Fast message list
cleaning, up to 5000 titles per second.
• Low CPU load: only 4% @ 300Mhz AMD, full speed 9k6 download.
• Easy to use, fully controlled by mouse
• Easy to use, fully controlled by keyboard :-)
• For ex-T4-users: configuration files and message lists can be
automatically converted.
Hardware requirements
Connection to the surrounding world can be made either with TNC supporting
WA8DED hostmode, FlexNet or telnet.
Windows should work smoothly on your computer (Pentium strongly
recommended, also 486's work if you're not in a hurry...) If using WA8DED,
the TNC clock frequency should be at least 6Mhz, or 4MHz in case of a
slow 1k2 radio connection.
