DESCRIPTION

    OutBoundManager (OBM) is an ARexx program that, using MUIrexx, opens a
    little GUI to let users select which nodes are to call. Being a
    point on fidonet and Amiganet often I've to call nodes for a f'req, or
    a crash... My boss have three lines and I need to call each one if the
    others are busy... Having also more than one point address I need to
    choose which node to poll... For all these problems OBM is the
    solution. A brief list of features:

      *) Listview to select which nodes are to be called.
      *) Information window to read more about each node.
      *) Little database to store data for those frequently called nodes.
      *) Support for multilines BBS using 'mail/Poll_TD' and
         'mail/Poll_GMS' external modules.
      *) Support for TrapDoor and GMS.
      *) Very configurable scheduler to easly interface with other mailers.
      *) Confortable GUI created using MUIrexx (C).
      *) Great modularity thanks to the MOOS (C) concept:

            |     |    |
            |     :    +- db/RunHost
            |     :    |    |
            |          |    `- dos/Error
            |          |
            |          `- dos/Error
            |
            +- dos/ReadBlock
            `- dos/WriteBlock

      *) Thanks to its modularity you may use 'mail/Poll_TD'()
         as external ARexx function to interface the mailer
         if you are not interested to use the whole OBM with its
         GUI. After the configuration you still be able to use
         the module 'mail/Poll'() instead that read also the
         user preferences and the data for the multilines BBSes.
         You can use 'db/Config'() to store and retrieve little
         configuration files for other ARexx script... You will
         find more information about MOOS soon in Aminet.
