Hey! This must be your first time using TQM, the QWK mail door for
RBBS (or the SysOp hosed up the users file and had to start from
scratch!). So, this is your "intro" to TQM, and all of the wild and
wonderful things it can do for you.

TQM is a BBS utility that lets you download, read and reply to
messages "offline" - that is, using your computer, your editor and
your spare time. No longer will you be tied to reading messages while
logged onto the BBS. Instead, TQM lets you collect ("bundle") new
mail on the system. It then archives the mail and lets you download
it in compressed form. You can then use an "offline mail reader" to
read and reply to messages without being logged onto the BBS. After
you've created your replies, you simply upload 'em into TQM, and TQM
will take care of updating the RBBS message bases with your replies.
This system lets you read messages at your leisure, and to scan large
message bases easily for just the mail that you want to see.

So... enough of the sales pitch. What's it take to use TQM? Well,
you'll need a QWK mail reader (QWK is the format of the archived
messages that TQM creates). Check your SysOp's download directories
for a suitable one, like SLMR, OFFLINE or KingQWK, and download it
after you leave TQM.

After that, life's a breeze. Simply go into TQM, S)elect the
conferences you'd like to download from, and D)ownload the messages
using your favorite protocol. Then unpack that mail reader that you
downloaded, and follow the directions. Pretty simple, eh?

Thanks for using TQM, and if you like it, be sure and ask your SysOp
to register it. After all, what's money to HIM? You're the poor
one...
