<h3><img src="monicon.gif" align="bottom" alt=""> <b><a name="platforms">What platforms can MHonArc run under?</a></b></h3>
<P>MHonArc is known to run under many varieties of Unix,
MS-DOS/Windows, WinNT, Win95, OS/2.
</p>
<!-- ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? -->
<h3><img src="monicon.gif" align="bottom" alt=""> <b><a name="mac">What about Mac?</a></b></h3>
<P>MHonArc has been coded to support MacPerl, but no
adequate testing has been done to verify the code.
Please notify the author if you are interested in
testing MHonArc under MacPerl.
</P>
<!-- ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? -->
<h3><img src="monicon.gif" align="bottom" alt=""> <b><a name="perl">What version of Perl is required to run MHonArc?</a></b></h3>
<P>MHonArc can run under Perl 4 or 5. Perl 5 is recommended
for performance reasons and for the possibility that future releases
of MHonArc will use Perl 5 features.</P>
<dl>
<dt><strong>NOTE</strong></dt>
<dd><p>Current plans are for MHonArc v3
to be the Perl 5 rewrite of MHonArc v2.x. v2.x will
probably be the last major version to run under Perl 4.

<h3><img src="monicon.gif" align="bottom" alt=""> <b><a name="muas">What mail user agents (MUA's) does MHonarc support?</a></b></h3>
<P>MHonArc can convert mail that is stored in UUCP mailbox
format (ie. all messages are in a single file), or in the format used
by the
<a href="http://www.ics.uci.edu/~mh/">Rand Message Handler</a>
(MH) (messages are contained in separate
files within a directory). MHonArc is known to work with
the following MUAs: <EM>MH</EM>, <EM>mail</EM>, <EM>Mail</EM>,
<EM>Elm</EM>, <EM>Eudora</EM>, <EM>WinVN</EM>, <EM>Windows
Trumpet</EM>, and <EM>NUPop</EM>. </P>
<DL>
<DT><STRONG>NOTE</STRONG>
<DD><P>To support some MUA's, it may require redefining the
MSGSEP or MHPATTERN resource. Please consult the documentation
for more information about these resources.</P>

The Compuserve "file cabinet" format is too far from the basic SMTP message
format that MHonArc recognizes.
Your friend can find software on Compuserve to read the file cabinet format
and emit ascii text that is closer to SMTP message format that MHonArc can
use. A search of IBMFF using the keywords "cabinet" and "convert" yielded
several items including these two:
Forum Name: CSNAVSUPPORT Library: Member Uploads (6)

This program converts forum message threads to a plain text file called
COLLECT.TXT. Your favorite word processor can then search for any message
on any topic that you have downloaded. It is public domain and was
created because I have so many forum thread messages which I can't search.

File: SHWCIM.ZIP Submitted: [72241,2132] 08-Nov-96
Une fois stockes dans le "Cabinet" CompuServe, les messages des forums et
les courriers sont codes dans des fichiers binaires que l'on ne peut pas
relire directement. Cet utilitaire a pour but de convertir n'importe quel
fichier de la base WinCIM en fichier ASCII pur. Freeware en anglais.

<h3><img src="monicon.gif" align="bottom" alt=""> <b><a name="nonenglish">Can MHonArc create non-English archives?</a></b></h3>
<p>Yes. With MHonArc's page layout customizations features,
you can have MHonArc create pages in any language supported
by Web client software. Plus, messages containing non-English text
is supported during message conversion. For text messages,
MHonArc supports the ISO-8859 character sets and the
ISO-2022-JP character set.
</p>
<!-- ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? -->
<h3><img src="monicon.gif" align="bottom" alt=""> <b><a name="bilingual">Can I create bilingual archives?</a></b></h3>
<p>Yes. You can actually create archives that have as many
indexes as you want in as many languages that you want. Through
the OTHERINDEXES resource can define any number of extra indexes
to create. For each index, you can redfine the index resources
to use whatever text (English or non-English) you desire.
</p>
<dl>
<dt><strong>NOTE</strong></dt>
<dd><p>There is no support for mulitple variations of message
pages in an archive. Therefore, a single language must be
chosen for message pages, or you can include redundant information
using multiple languages.
</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<dl>
<dt><strong>NOTE</strong></dt>
<dd><p>Actual message data will be in the language used in the
message. MHonArc has no built-in language translation.
