| 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 5.5.0 |
| |
| 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 new features included in this |
| release are: |
| * XMODEM and HYDRA protocol support |
| * IEMSI support for auto-login if your client supports it. |
| * FTP Direct Server - you can now log onto FTP directly and upload or |
| download without having to log on via telnet. |
| * Improved CPS info in ACP during transfers |
| |
| With the inclusion of the HYDRA protocol support in this release we have |
| achieved full feature parity with the old V4.x Releases of Ami-Express. |
| There may still be some small differences between this version and the |
| older releases but all features are now covered. |
| |
| All source code is publicly available at: |
| https://github.com/dmcoles/AmiExpress 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. |
| |
| This verison of /X comes with both rexxdoor 1.3 and 2.2 - If you have 10 |
| nodes or more you *MUST* use 2.2 (rename it to rexxdoor) - however this |
| version requires that you make RX resident otherwise it won't work. If |
| you have less than 10 nodes you can use either version. |
| |
| 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. |
