Souper for Windows is a Winsock compliant mail and news client program
for Microsoft Windows using SLIP/PPP. It transfers mail and news
fetched from a POP3 server and NNTP server respectively to SOUP
format. It can also send messages in SOUP reply packets.
This program has been written for Windows 3.1 or Windows 95/NT and
requires a "winsock.dll" supporting version 1.1 of the Windows Sockets
Interface. (The standard "dial up networking" that comes with
Windows-95 is acceptable.)
This is a quick bug fix to Souper/Gui for Windows version 0.8. The
only change is to the Windows-95/NT executable. If you have
previously downloaded souprw08.zip, and you are running Windows 95 or
NT, you only need to download souprw08a-exe.zip and copy
souper95gui.exe over the previous version. If you are running Windows
3.1, you do not need to update Souper.
This fixes the following faults in Souper/Gui for Windows-95:
1. If you have "Get new groups with news" checked, Souper would create
a file named ".newstime" in your HOME directory or in the "Start
in" directory if HOME is not set.
2. If you use separate incoming and outgoing directories, Souper would
not find or process the commands in the outgoing SOUP packet.
3. If you use a news service that requires a password, Souper would
give an error message ".newsauth not found" and would not retrieve
news.
Both a 16-bit version for Windows 3.1 and a 32-bit version for
Windows-95/NT are included in souprw08a.zip. Only the updated 32-bit
version is included in souprw08a-exe.zip.
There is also a version for OS/2 Warp's Internet Access Kit. This
version was ported by Bob Rush to Windows / winsock from the OS/2
version written by Chin Huang <cthuang@io.org>.
