PRO.W.L, an all WILDCAT! Network

The purpose behind PRO.W.L is to allow multiple BBS' the means to share 
a common message base. By this we mean, you will literally be able to 
send and receive messages in designated *PROWL* areas to other BBS' who
carry the PRO.W.L Network! Thus allowing you (the user) the ability to 
carry on normal conversations with long distance users as if they were
on your own local BBS.

To use PRO.W.L, the first thing you must do is enter the [M]essage Menu
and then select [U]pdate Conf Scan/Read. Add the areas that contain the
*PROWL* in the area description. These are the PRO.W.L Network message
areas and are the ONLY areas that will be forwarded to other PRO.W.L 
systems. In reverse the other systems also have the SAME areas set up 
and will be forwarded here. Within several days of leaving your message, 
it will have been sent to ALL the PRO.W.L Network members. If a reply is 
made to you, it will be picked up from their system and delivered here. 

If you use TOMCAT to Download your BBS mail, there are a few simple
rules to follow in order to keep the messages on each PRO.W.L BBS
from being duplicated and orderly. They are as follows:

    1. When you Download a packet from any of the PRO.W.L BBS'
       you must ONLY upload your replies to the system from which
       your current mail packet was downloaded. This will insure
       that no duplicate messages or created. 

    2. PRIVATE messages will be allowed in the *PROWL* conferences!
       If you wish to send a PRIVATE message to a user on another
       PRO.W.L BBS, simply toggle the private flag when entering the
       message in the *PROWL* area.     

    3. Please leave messages in the appropriate *PROWL* areas. This
       is only to ensure that the message threads will remain in tact
       and make it easy for you to find a subject you wish to discuss. 
       
    4. That's it! Enjoy!

The transfers are all made in an automatic fashion and usually within 
several days, the mail is transfered throughout the PRO.W.L Network.   
This is completely transparent to you, the user. Simply entering
a message is all you need to do! If you are not aware of a users name
on another PRO.W.L system, just leave the message to ALL if it is a 
public message. If you wish to leave a private message and are uncertain
of the users name, simply guess and hopefully the sysop of the system for
that user will recognize it and change the name. If you have an idea for
other Message topics to share, please inform the sysop! In addition, if 
you find this system useful, or have any suggestions, please feel free 
to leave a Comment to the Sysop in one of these areas.
