        DESCRIPTION AND FEATURES.

        Son of BONK (SOB) started out as a PM clone of BONK
        originally authored by Tom Kashuba. During it's
        development cycle, SOB took on a personality of it's
        own. This is not because of any short comings in
        BONK, but instead because of the facilities inherent
        in and, offered by OS/2.  SOB is a 100% 32 bit OS/2
        PM application and exploits some of the features of
        OS/2.

        Like the original BONK, SOB's is an outbound manager
        utility and a full featured FidoNet version 7
        nodelist editor.

        SOB is 4D aware and supports Binkley 2.50+ point
        directories. Fakenets are not supported and there
        are no plans to support them.

        With the outbound manager you can:

        þ   View a list of files in your outbound area.
                If you have points, they are included in the
                list automatically.

        þ   Readdress files targeted for one system to
            another.

        þ   Selectively erase files.

        þ   Erase all files destined for a particular node.

        þ   Outbound "cleanup" option to clean out your
            outbound.

        þ   Send one or more files to another system.
                SOB provides a dialog where you can select
                one or more files in a subdirectory or tag
                the entire subdirectory for transmitting to
                a remote system.

        þ   Request or update request files from another
            system.


        With the version 7 nodelist editor you can:

        þ   Browse the nodelist.

        þ   Add and delete nodes.

        þ   Update existing entries

        þ   Fast index searches on node number or SysOp
            name.

        þ   Slower searches on system name, sysop name, and
            system location.


        Both the outbound manager and the nodelist editor
        have online, context sensitive help.



        QUICK START

        When you load SOB for the first time, you will be
        prompted for configuration information. The only
        information that is required is your node number and
        the nodelist and outbound directories.  The other
        information is for possible future enhancements.
        This information is stored in a file called SOB.INI
        located in directory that was current when SOB was
        loaded.  If you delete this file, you will be
        presented with the configuration dialog the next
        time you load SOB.  You may also change your
        configuration information by clicking on "Options"
        from the menu bar then select "Configuration", or by
        pressing Alt+C.

        When loaded, SOB display the files in you outbound.
        Double clicking on any entry will cause a pop-up
        menu to be displayed with several actions you are
        allowed to perform.

        Clicking on "Misc" on the menu bar gives you other
        useful options.

        That's about if for a quick start.  If you have any
        bug reports, please send them to me at 1:106/202, or
        post them in the Binkley echo.
