                             An Introduction

View is a PC based electronic mail system.  View can operate with
a stand-alone PC(view.exe), or as part of a novell
network(lan_view.exe).  

In stand-alone mode (VIEW.EXE), you must have a KA9Q TCP/IP SMTP
server running.  Amateur radio operators running TCP/IP over
radio may already be familar with KA9Q NOS.  NOS is stored on
THUMPER.BELLCORE.COM  NOS was written by Phil Karn, KA9Q.

The network version of View runs much differently.  This version
has been compiled with a novell library.  This allows View to use
the network functions of novell.  If you are running View on a
network,  an utility machine must be setup.  The utility machine
runs POSTMAN.  In the 'real' world, if the postman is not
working, then no mail is delivered.  This is the same for the
View mailer.  POSTMAN delivers the mail from user to user.  The
POSTMAN can handle up to 8 servers.  If you have a gateway
machine running KA9Q NOS, the postman will send and receive
Internet mail onto the novell network.

VIEW is stored on HAMSTER.BUSINESS.UWO.CA
