18.0 - ADDITIONAL SPITFIRE FEATURES
-----------------------------------
There are some additional features in SPITFIRE which merit
mentioning so the Sysop is fully aware of SPITFIRE's capabilities.
18.1 - SCREEN SAVE FEATURE
--------------------------
SPITFIRE contains its own Screen Save Feature to prevent screen
burn. Sysops who are presently using a memory-resident screen save
utility should discontinue its usage and instead use the screen save
feature included in SPITFIRE.
18.2 - SPITFIRE UTILIZES EMS (Expanded Memory)
----------------------------------------------
Upon boot-up, SPITFIRE automatically attempts to copy
SPITFIRE.OVR to EMS. If there is adequate EMS available, SPITFIRE
will access it from there. This will increase the speed at which
SPITFIRE operates and save wear and tear on the drive. If this is done,
SPITFIRE upon boot-up displays the message "EMS memory is used for
SPITFIRE.OVR".
18.3 - SPITFIRE RECORDS CALLER ID INFORMATION
---------------------------------------------
SPITFIRE is capable of recording Caller ID information to the
CALLERS.LOG. However, before SPITFIRE will record the Caller ID
information, certain criteria must be met. The BBS must be connected
to a phone line and modem which supports Caller ID and the modem must
be configured so it will report the Caller ID information. If these
conditions are met, SPITFIRE will record any valid phone number to the
CALLERS.LOG.
