| Ami-Express was a BBS System that ran on the Commodore Amiga series of |
| computers and was developed by Lightspeed Technologies in the 1990s. |
| |
| Version 5.2.0 |
| |
| This is a rewrite of that system written in Amiga E. It is open source |
| and has new features and bug fixes in addition to aiming for near 100% |
| backwards compatibility with the version 4.x releases. |
| |
| I contacted Joe Hodge/LightSpeed Technologies the owner of /X product |
| in December 2018 and he has given his full approval for me to take over |
| this software and to continue using the Ami-Express name. |
| |
| I have also updated the documentation for Ami-Express as many existing |
| features were not properly documented. Some of the new features in this |
| release are: |
| |
| * Native telnet support, removing the need for telnetd.device |
| |
| * Optional caching of file lists in RAM: |
| |
| * Configurable connection flood banning (native telnet only) |
| |
| * Support for asyncio.library to speed up transfers |
| |
| * Ability to mimic older versions of /X version number |
| |
| * Ability to list all messages |
| |
| * UP command displays date/time node was last started |
| |
| All source code is publicly available at: |
| EXTERNAL LINK along with the documentation. |
| |
| Included in this archive are several sample bbs configurations using |
| tooltype (.info) and config file (.cfg) format. These are aimed at users |
| wanting to set up a bbs for the first time. There is also a file called |
| aeicon.json which can be imported using the json import tool or by |
| selecting the file the first time you start /X with no configuration in |
| place. This file will create a basic structure similar to the ones |
| included in the archive. |
| |
| If you are a pre-existing /X4 user, the ACP and Express files can just |
| replace the old versions and should be as close to fully backwards |
| compatible as possible. Plesae do contact me or raise issues in github if |
| you encounter any problems. |

| This release is dedicated to my partner Traci who was taken ill |
| unexpectedly at the end of 2018 and passed away after suffering |
| lung damage caused by Influenza. RIP Traci xx. |
