Stalker CommuniGate File - 1.4

Applications can use the CommuniGate File module to send messages: if an application composes a message as a plain text file and places that file in the CommuniGate File OutBox folder, the CommuniGate File module reads it and submits the message to the system in the same way as if that messages was read from the Internet. Applications can use the CommuniGate File module to receive messages: if a message is addressed/routed to File module, the user_name part of the address is used as a name of a folder or a text file inside the CommuniGate File InBoxes folder. If a folder is found, the CommuniGate File module stores the message in that folder as a plain text file. If a text file is found, the CommuniGate File module appends the message (converted to the plain text format) to the file. So, each application can have its own InBox and it can receive messages either by scanning the folder and reading the text files found, or by reading the mailbox text file. The CommuniGate File module allows you to use the CommuniGate Server with some mailers that can exchange messages via the file system. For example, you can use Eudora in its "UUCP" mode on machines connected to the File Server that also runs the CommuniGate Server. It is especially useful if you use PPP on the CommuniGate Server: since the current version of MacOS does not allow to use TCP/IP via Ethernet if you use PPP, unless you have a router, computers on your Ethernet network cannot access the Server via the regular SMTP and POP protocols.
