 Included in your package is a complimentary Internet access package from
 Information Access Technologies, one of many host providers available.

 The HOLODEMO service pack is included as a courtesy for our customers,
 and is not an endorsement of the services offered by Holonet.  Before
 you make use of the HOLODEMO kit we encourage you to review the
 information and make a personal decision whether the HOLODEMO
 promotional package fits your needs.  Your participation is optional.

 We have found Information Access Technologies to be a responsible host
 provider and are pleased to participate in their promotional activities
 because of the benefits to our customers.

 NEW HOLODEMO INFORMATION

 Holodemo now provides access in Berekley, CA via 14400 bps 510-704-1058
 and 28800 bps 510-410-1085.

 Holodemo is also now available nationwide.  For national numbers use
 your modem to call 1-800-NET-HOLO.  Any 9600 bps or faster CPN
 (CompuServe) number can also now be used.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

 If you elect to try HOLODEMO please print this file and make note of the
 following information.

  Begin by following the instructions in the HOLODEMO kit.  Your first
  call should be made using your terminal program such as QmodemPro, NOT
  with wcGATE/uucico.  Create your account following the directions in
  the demo kit and on the screen when you connect.

  Read or capture the information online in the HOLODEMO directory while
  you are connected to Information Access Technologies.  It is very
  important to have this information for reference.

  We have provided example files for using the demo system with wcGATE.
  These files have been installed in your communication directory (usually
  C:\WILDCAT\GATEWAY) in a file named HOLODEMO.ZIP.  This ZIP file
  contains a SCRIPTS, SYSTEMS and FXUUCP.CFG file for use with HOLODEMO.
  NOTE that these files are slightly different than the standard sample
  files of the same names that are installed in the same directory.
  Before you unzip the HOLODEMO.ZIP file in your GATEWAY directory you
  may want to make copies of the regular sample SCRIPTS, SYSTEMS and
  FXUUCP.CFG files that are there by default.

  Once you have completed your account creation at Holonet and prepared
  for your first call with wcGATE, you should test your system by
  sending e-mail to an internet address and having someone send an
  e-mail message to you. You can send a message to "info@holonet.net" to
  have a reply sent back to your e-mail address.

  You should also test your UUCP newsgroup operation by first using the
  test newsgroup "holonet.test".  To do so you set up holonet.test as a
  conference in Wildcat! and in the wcGATE program as a UUCP conference
  according to the instructions for UUCP newsgroups.  Don't forget to
  also set it up with your HOLODEMO account at the provider end.  Test
  by receiving messages and sending your own in the newsgroup.

  If you have questions about the HOLODEMO kit, your internet account
  startup or connection to Information Access Technologies, Inc. you
  should contact them for assistance.  Questions regarding wcGATE should
  be directed to our technical support department.

 ------------------

 Review this section ONLY if you intend to provide UUCP mail to other
 BBS systems and act as a provider yourself.  If you are going to feed
 mail to downstream nodes by having them call your system to pick-up the
 mail please read the following section.

 If you choose to support downstream UUCP nodes in wcGATE the following
 suggestions will be helpful to ensure that each downstream node is only
 able to receive its own messages. This is a security issue and should
 be reviewed carefully if you feed downstream nodes!


 1 - Assign a special secondary security profile to each caller name
     that will be picking up mail for downstream distribution (see the
     Wildcat! Sysop Guide for details on secondary profiles).  This
     secondary profile does not need to provide any extra access, it
     simply needs to exist as a secondary profile assigned to each
     downstream node caller.

 2 - In order to ensure that downstream nodes receive only the messages
     intended for them we have included a special wcCODE application
     file that is already compiled and will operate on your system even
     if you do not have wcCODE.  This application is a replacement for
     the standard Wildcat! logon function and is ONLY needed if you feed
     UUCP messages to downstream nodes. The wcCODE application is called
     LOGONWCG.WCC and LOGONWCG.WCX (source and executable respectively).
     These files were installed in your GATEWAY directory and
     LOGONWCG.WCX needs to be placed in your Wildcat! home directory and
     renamed to LOGON.WCX.  It will only operate if it is in your home
     directory and is named LOGON.WCX

 The replacement for the standard logon is needed to check to see if the
 caller has been assigned the special secondary security profile.  It
 performs all the standard logon functions but also checks to see if the
 caller has the special secondary security profile named UUCP.  If so it
 executes the UUMAIL.BAT file that sends the UUCP downstream mail based on
 his login name.


 Each caller that picks up downstream mail must also be registered in
 your uucico program configuration so that they get ONLY their own mail.
 Make sure you implement the following:

 1 - UUCICO has a provision to keep people from getting other peoples
     mail by using the PERMITS file.  The copy of PERMITS that was
     installed by default has several examples of permit entries for
     downline UUCP nodes. A quick review of that file and the two permit
     entries that are commented out would be advisable.  Replace these
     entries with correct entries for each downstream node calling your
     system.

 2 - The user records for the nodes calling in for mail distribution
     must have special settings.  As indicated previously they must have
     a secondary security profile of UUCP.  They must also have their
     SITENAME in COMMENT field #5 (their sitename is in their FXUUCP.CFG
     file), and this name must exactly match the name in your PERMITS
     file and the name in your SYSTEMS file.  See the examples for KAOS
     and EDGE in these files.

     All downstream nodes must call with FAST LOGIN (using the *), NO
     ANSI and have UUCP as their secondary profile.  These three
     conditions are checked for every caller in the special LOGON.WCX
     application and the UUMAIL.BAT file is only executed if all three
     conditions are met.

     Make sure the UUMAIL.BAT file is located in your BATCH FILE PATH as
     specified in MAKEWILD!

     UUMAIL.BAT makes use of the sitename from comment line 5 because it
     is started with the sitename as a command line argument.  The
     section from LOGON.WCX listed below shows the test and batch file
     execution:

     
        ------------------ Start of LOGON.WCC (LOGONWCG.WCC)

         .
        if not fastlogon then
         .
         Lines have been removed for brevity
         .
        else
         if (not local) and (not ansidetected) then
           for i = 1 to 5
             if user.secondary(i) = "UUCP" then
               shell makewild.doorfilepath + "UUMAIL.BAT "+user.comment(5)
                hangup
         .
        ----------------- End


     Should you have questions about feeding downstream uucp nodes that
     you are unable to answer with the information provided, please
     leave a message on the MSI HQ BBS in the wcGATE message conference
     or send e-mail to support@mustang.com.  Our tech staff can handle
     most problems easily if you provide information about your settings
     and copies of your files.


OPERATION NOTES!!!

If you experience a problem with mail not being exported, you need to verify
the send-non-local-mail flag in the UUCP Host editor for your MAIN PROVIDER
is set to 'Y'.

Send Non Local Mail allows you to specify which host will receive all mail
that is addressed to hosts wcGATE is unfamiliar with.  This is very
important to understand, for if you change this setting to 'N', wcGATE will
not export any mail other than mail addressed to the host's domain name or
it's aliases.  Your other hosts (albeit Providers/downlinks) will need to
have this flag set to 'N' because mail should not be exported to them unless
it is addressed to them.  This flag essentially dictates which host does
all of your 'non-local' routing for you.

If you have two providers.  One is Holonet and the other is Netcom.  Holonet
is your main provider and you receive nearly all of your mail there.  Netcom
on the other hand is a secondary provider and you receive many of your
newsgroups from them.  In this example we would set the Send Non Local mail
flag for Holonet to 'Y' and to 'N' for Netcom.  In other words, we are
sending all mail to Holonet unless addressed to Netcom.


NEW HELPFUL PROGRAMS!

With wcGATE we are also enclosing UUCPCONV and MHSCONV to help you upgrade
from your 3.x system.  UUCPConv will process your newsgroups you created
with wcUUCP and MHSConv will process your MHS configuration and translation
tables to be used with wcGATE.  Both programs have online help.  For further
information, run the programs from the command line without any command line
parameters.


QuikGate has also been added to wcGATE. QuikGate is a program to help you add
a group of conferences to your BBS without having to type them all in.
It's VERY simple in nature, and doesn't require much configuration.  It only
takes one of two command line parameters.  These parameters dictate whether
it's doing a NEWS or CONF set up.  QuikGate requires a standard ASCII TEXT
file.  Files edited with many of the popular Word Processors contain other
information, that can not be processed by QuikGate, so we recommend you do
all of your editing within a standard text editor, like EDIT in DOS or QEdit.
The format for the text file is simply the name followed by a carriage return:

alt.bbs.wildcat
alt.bbs.qmodem
rec.music.beatles
(and so on)

QuikGate will process this text file from the top to bottom.  If you wish
to have these sorted in your conference editors, you need to sort this
text file.  Quikgate will also try to generate a short name for the
conference.  You may wish to change this in MakeWild after running QuikGate.
Although this program does the very best possible job in adding these
conferences and newsgroups, it is important for you to check the configuration
in MakeWild, and MakeGate/MakeEcho.

When you run Quikgate, it will ask you for the starting conference number
and the text file you wish to import.

***** Keep in mind that Quikgate will overwrite any conferences in it's path,
      so if you start it at 100 but have conferences at 110 and you are
      importing 20 conferences, Quikgate will simply overwrite the
      conferences in 110 to 120.

A configuration file called quikgate.cfg is formatted as such.  This file
is also a standard text file.

    Line 1  Path for Bulletins                    (i.e.  c:\wildcat\bull)
    Line 2  Path for Questionnaire files          (i.e.  c:\wildcat\ques)
    Line 3  Path for Menu files                   (i.e.  c:\wildcat\menu)
    Line 4  Path for Help files                   (i.e.  c:\wildcat\help)
    Line 5  Path for Display files                (i.e.  c:\wildcat\disp)
    Line 6  Path for Message data files           (i.e.  c:\wildcat\msg)
    Line 7  Path for Message Attachments          (i.e.  c:\wildcat\msg\attach)
    Line 8  Max number of messages per conference (i.e.  200)



wcGATE v4.01 changes

 New Features

- A new program, UUCPCONV.EXE is provided to convert the v3.x style UUCP
  conference lists (NEWSGRPS.DAT) to the new v4.x format.
  Enter UUCPCONV /? for syntax.
- Added a TMP file to prevent multiple tossing to the same host.
- Added search functionality for most or all of the picklists in MakeGate.
- Added full auto response support.  It will log the activity of what file
  to who.  It will also report the info on the screen in yellow text to make
  it look different than the rest of the tossing.
        info@mustang.com and so on is an example of Auto Response.
- Added support for a 'secondary' domain name that should be tossed into
  wcGATE as if it were your primary domain name.  Very useful for new
  systems.
- Added return receipts to wcGATE UUCP.  If you specify you wish a
  return receipt, wcGATE will place a line in the header of the outgoing
  Internet mail message that is compliant with the return-receipt-to:
  that is supported by most mailers.  ON import, wcGate will then mark
  the message as needing a return receipt and when the user reads this
  message, Wildcat! will generate a return receipt message. wcGATE
  should then send the return receipt back to the original sender of the
  message.
- Added news request services to wcGATE.  Similar to Holonews in that your
  downline UUCP nodes send a message to a specific address at your system
  which will add or delete newsgroups from their configuration without
  your needing to do so manually.  The keywords supported by this are:

  simple                       (each newsgroup is on a separate line and can
                                be stopped by '.' on a line by itself/  Clears
                                current list and sets save mode)
  clear                        (clears all subscriptions for the current host)
  listall                      (lists all the newsgroups that are available
                                to downline nodes)
  listcurrent                  (lists all the newsgroups selected for this
                                host)
  u <newsgroupname>            (unsubscribe this newsgroup)
  s <newsgroupname>            (subscribe to this newsgroup)
  version                      (current version of the GateNews
                                implementation always 4.01)
  '.'                          (while in simple mode turns off simple mode.
                                If in command mode GateNews stops processing
                                this message.  All that follows is ignored).
  documentation                (Sends a file called 'gatenews.doc' from
                                within the gateway directory).
  save                         (Will save all changes after completion/
                                Simple mode forces save mode).

  The HoloNews protocol is licensed from IAT Holonet, and is being used
  with permission.

- Sped up the compress/decompress routines by 2 to 3 times.

- wcGATE will now deal with files that are greater than 64K in UUENCODE.


 Fixes

- Fixed a bug in the UUCP UUDecoding procedure.  This problem would only
  be shown if the end of the UUENCODED file was in the very last line of
  the message, otherwise it worked fine.
- Fixed a bug in the MHS Import routines that would put wcGATE into a loop
  if it had translations that didn't comply with the current MHS function
  it was currently working on.
- Fixed the translations on MHS Email exporting.
- Fixed a bug where wcGATE would create bounce/unknown domain/duplicate
  users messages but would not toss them out.
- Fixed a bug where wcGate was having trouble processing some X/D files.
- Fixed a bug with respect to file attachments on MHS Mail.
- Fixed a grammatical error in the wildcat! mail room message that states
  that you have entered incorrect information in the header.
- Fixed wcECHO not recognizing duplicate users being turned on.
- Fixed the problem with messages from other groups being appended to
  the current message.
- Fixed translations on UUCP Export.
- Fixed attachments problem within wcGATE/wcECHO qwk mail.  It would
  attach a file, even when the conference didn't permit it.
- Fixed the lack of deleting of original files when exporting to another
  domain.
- Fixed a translate bug in uucp import.
- Fixed a bug with copying attachments from the attach directory.
