Weasel         (Peter Moylan's POP3 and SMTP daemon)
====================================================
Last updated 2001-03-27
Current version: 1.40

This is non-crippled shareware.  Pricing and similar details
are covered in the documentation file WEASEL.INF.

Why would you want a POP3/SMTP server?  Well, basically you need
this (or something similar) if you want to set up e-mail accounts
for more than one person on your computer.  Weasel has enough
power to act as the mail server for a good-sized office.

The catch - there's always a catch - is that it's useless to run
such a server unless your computer is going to be on-line most
of the time, or unless you can arrange to get mail relayed from
a machine that's on-line most of the time.  Otherwise your
correspondents will be left with lots of bounced mail.  This
version of Weasel does have provision for handling the dial-up
case, but the average dial-up user should probably not install this
package.

QUICK INSTALLATION
 1. Unzip the distribution file into a directory of your choice,
    for example D:\Apps\Weasel.

 2. Read the file Weasel.INF.

Source code is no longer being distributed with Weasel.  Any
registered user can request the source from me by e-mail.

The utilities Setup and VIOSetup do essentially the same job.  Once
you've decided which one of these you prefer, you can delete or
ignore the other.  I am considering dropping support for the
text-mode VIOSetup in some future version.

Take a look at the "tools" directory for some extra utilities
included with Weasel.  Note, however, that I am gradually removing
the utilities from the Weasel main distribution, and making them
available separately via my website.
