CrashMail II

                         The Next Generation!

                  ...a stranger in a strange land...

Added AmigaOS 3.2 support and crashedit an editor to jamlib using jamlib.a from crashmail. Crashedit based on golded+ but with basic functionalities: area, messages, reader and editor, plus an ansi art viewer and file request.

Added tag "aso" to crashmail config file to work in aso mode.

**For CrashEdit documentation in Spanish, see [crashedit/README_ESP.md](crashedit/README_ESP.md)**

This project was inspired by Golded+ [https://github.com/golded-plus/golded-plus]. While it served as a reference during development, the implementation in this repository was written independently and does not contain code copied from the original project.

============ Introduction

Welcome to CrashMail II! CrashMail II is basically a more portable version of CrashMail, a tosser for Amiga computers. Users of the old Amiga version will probably find some things familiar while some features are gone such as the ARexx port (for obvious reasons!) and the GUI configuration editor. The only feature that CrashMail II has and the old CrashMail hasn't is support for JAM messagebases.

================ Acknowledgements

Many thanks to Björn Stenberg for creating the excellent subroutine library JAMLIB which CrashMail uses for handling JAM messagebases.

Thanks for Peter Karlsson for porting CrashMail II to OS/2 and the man pages.

Thanks to Lars Kellogg-Stedman for the testing scripts as well as the other improvements he has made.

============= Documentation

The documentation is very brief and CrashMail probably isn't the ideal choice for Fidonet beginners. All documentation of the available keywords in the configuration file can be found in the doc/example.prefs file, and other information can be found in the doc/ReadMe.txt file..

========= Platforms

This version of CrashMail can be compiled for Win32, Linux and OS/2; see the INSTALL file for details. If you are interested in running CrashMail on another platform, please contact me if you are willing to do the work necessary to adapt CrashMail to your platform. The amount of work required mostly depends on whether your C-compiler supports some common POSIX-functions which CrashMail uses.

========= Screenshots

For AmigaOS the program use ttengine or freetype with libpng and zlib
Using bebbo gcc

https://aminet.net/package/util/libs/ttengine-68k

libpng: https://www.libpng.org/
zlib: https://zlib.net/
FreeType: https://freetype.org/

To compile:

In crashmail directory:
make cleanamiga
make amiga

In crashedit directory:

To ttengine.library: make -f Makefile.amiga

To static freetype with libpng and zlib:
Extract the files freetype-2.14.3.tar.xz, libpng-1.6.58.tar.xz and, zlib.tar.gz
into CrashEdit and rename them to freetype, zlib, and libpng.

To prepair headers:
make -f Makefile.amiga.te unprep
make -f Makefile.amiga.te prep
make -f Makefile.amiga.te clean all

Freetype fonts tested:

Symbola.ttf
unifont_sample-17.0.04.otf
NotoColorEmoji-emojicompat.ttf
Symbola_hint.ttf
NotoSansCJK-Regular.ttf
NotoColorEmoji.ttf
DejaVuSansMono.ttf
LiberationMono-Regular.ttf

With ttengine:

DejaVuSansMono.ttf
LiberationMono-Regular.ttf

The executable is large, but you don't need any libraries. It's optimized for RTG and also works with OCS, ECS, or AGA.
