This archive contains the Jam manual for C programmes and the version
of the JAM API for C with bug fixes and changes to the code to
support the WATCOM C++ compiler.  This is not an "official" release
but something that addresses problems the original version which were
never resolved.  A maintenance release was promised for early 1994 but
never materialized.

The WATCOM compiler is not required to compile the code.  Many other
compilers are supported with no change to the source.

The CJAM.DOC file is provided in the hopes that people will comment
on errors in the code or the writting or make suggestions to improve
it.  Extra examples are always helpful to me and others so if you
have some point to demonstrate please send your example.

The entire original JAMAPI with both C and Pascal source can be
obtained elsewhere.  It can also be FREQ'd from 1:2600/140 as
JAMAPI.ARJ.

Another related public domain release is WRITEJAM.ZIP, a coding example
of a simple function to write messages to a JAM area.  It is meant
to help BBS door authors to implement sending messages from their doors
to a JAM area.  This may also be File Requested from 1:2600/140.

If you call the BBS you will not be able to get the file on your
first call, unfortunately, owing to the cumbersome setup of the BBS.
You can send e-mail to me asking for these files and I'll send them
back over the Internet (but not back to a Fidonet Address).
