About

This is an updated version of Obolus. The original Obolus 1.0, posted here a few weeks ago, had some problems running on 68000-based Macs, and with System 6. These problems now have been fixed. The following is a copy of the original note accompanying Obolus 1.0, kindly posted here by Charles Mingo: Obolus 1.0.2 is a mail program, designed to complement the Charon mailer program, which was posted to sumex-aim recently. Charon is designed to work with a "reader" program (eg, CounterPoint or Alice), to allow a Mac user to operate as a Fido "point", calling into a Fido hub to pick up and deliver mail and news, using the Fido file transmission protocols. Obolus is an adjunct to Charon, which allows Charon to properly extract the outgoing mail and news from CounterPoint, including the ability to compress outgoing mail. Use of Obolus allows Charon and CounterPoint to function as a fully integated "point" package. Both Obolus and Charon may be freely distributed and used.
