Presenting "Quick Silver", the ARexx File Request Server!

Greetings  from  The  Hotel  California,  located in Austin Texas.  You are
being  served  by  Quick  Silver,  a  FidoNet  File Request Server, written
entierly in ARexx, and compiled with the "Rexx Plus Compiler" by The Dineen
Edwards Group on an Amiga 2500.  Here are a few features that are available
to you from Quick Silver.

o MAGIC filename support.

o PASSWORD protection on both file areas and Magic filenames.
  Format: FILENAME !PASSWORD

o ACCOUNTING support keeps track of the number requests, the number of files
  requested and the number of bytes sent to each requesting node.

o FIRST TIME LETTER for callers, what you are reading now.

o NODELIST SUPPORT via the traplist.library by Martin J Laubach.

o Update Request support.  Request files only if they are before or after a
  certain date.
  Format: FILENAME +/-Uyymmdd[hhmmss] or FILENAME +/-unix_timestamp

o WILDCARD pattern matching. Uses the standard * and ? characters.

o More features being added almost daily!

o Compiled ARexx for blazing fast speed even on a stock 68000 machine.

If you experience any problems when requesting files from this BBS, please
send me a NetMail explaining the problem so that I may correct it.
