KaBoom! v3.0 for Windows 3.x & Win95
A DLF/Alliance Production
Coded by The Messiah, for The People

Have phun, gang.

-=- End Of Transmission -=-


Installation

There are two incredibly difficult steps to the installation procedure. They are in this order-

Step 1.
Step 2.

You might want to know *what* those steps are.

Step 1.) Put KABOOM!3.EXE and WSERR.DLL into the same directory.
Step 2.) Open KABOOM!3.EXE

Hard, huh? Well, on to the next part.

How It All Works


How It All Works

Messiah, you might ask, how would one use KaBoom! if one were to, say, get it from a server, such as, say, the DLF homepage? Well, gang, the answer is simple-

What You Will Need-

1. At least a 386/25 with 2 megs of RAM.
2. The name of a server. I'd suggest something that's not used much. (Not playboy.com)
Some suggestions:

nccn.net
oro.net
messiah.com
telis.org
suck.com
et al...

3. A PPP/Slip account.

4. The intelligence God gave the common garden slug.

That last one is purely optional.

Mailbomber

This is the same as KaBoom! v2.5 except for a few things-

Bomb-o-meter- This tells you how many messages are left to send. If you select "Mail Perpetually" it tells you how many messages have been sent. In the mailing list part, it tell you how many mailing list are left to subscribe to.

Mail Perpetually- This is new. Select this, and you can mail your mark 'till the cows come home. Literally.

Also, the server stuff has been simplified. Thanks to Frogg (frogg@wko.com), you now have a selection of 62 *totally* anonymous servers to choose from. This eliminates all the confusion.

Most of the other controls are self-explanitory, or have tool tips that say what they are.

You might also want to know what the Finger is. This helps when you want to know if the asshole you're about to bomb is EricB or something. All you have to do is enter in the asshole's email address and hit "Finger". The results are listed in the big memo-type thing. It'll work regardless of whether your server has finger capabilities or not.

Mailing Lists

With this, you can subscribe someone to a max of 48 different, weird, mailing lists. If you want to know what the list is, hold the mouse over the check box. You might want to know why I only put 48 lists in this prog. Well, this prog was over 1,500 lines, all of which were hard. And 900 of those lines were from the lists. So be grateful you got the number of lists you did... *<=oP

What you'll need:
The person's email address.
The person's name. (Or just make one up.)

Settings

This is one of the better additions to KaBoom! v3.0. With this, you can specify who you are, how you want to be notified when KaBoom! is done, etc. BTW, no personal info is sent to your mark or anyone. It's just to be cool.

Known Bugs

Hey! They aren't "bugs," they're "undocumented features."

Anyhoo, there's a couple of SNAFUs in here.

1. Well, some winsock progs don't work with KaBoom! v2.5. If you have a winsock problem tell me what OS, winsock prog, and ISP you use, and also any error messages. I'll try to help.

2. If WSERR.DLL isn't in the same directory as KABOOM!.EXE, all hell breaks loose. So be sure to put WSERR.DLL into the same directory as KABOOM!.EXE, damnit!

If you find a server that doesn't work, is slow, or isn't anonymous, mail me and I'll take it out. If you find a mailing list that is dead, mail me. If you know of any weirdass mailing lists, send me a description, the subscription syntx, the address, and I'll add it.

My addresses:
messiah@dcalcoda.com
messiah@pancreas.com
dover@pestweb.com

Greetses + Thankses

Well, I think with the addition of the mailing list thing, KaBoom! is *the* best mailbomber prog around. Thanks to everyone who made this possible:

Thanks to the nice people at ArGo Software Design for the SMTP component (which I still need to register...). Greets go out to Beast_X, Brock Debenham, CrazHorse, Fucking Hostile, and Ash of The Alliance... Many greets go out to my girlfriend, for putting up with me. A huge tip 'o' the hat to Brendan. Big thanks go out to Frogg, for the server list, to neobaud, for feedback, and to Yoda for feedback. I can't give Frogg enough thanks, 'cuz he spared me the time needed to find, not 10, not twenty, but sixty-fucking-two servers which strip IP headers... I could hug the guy... (not!). If you're wondering who the morose fellow is on the banner and in the icon, he's Frank Zappa, a great musician and philosopher. He died in '92 (I think). He was a great man...

**** Warning!!! ****
Since the people who run mailing lists know what the fuck they're doing, if they catch you signing up other people, they will call in the authorities. So when the nice men in funny suits come to have a nice, long, chat with you, don't say I didn't warn you...

**** Second Warning!!! ****
Well, with the addition of the servers, you are basically anonymous. Unfortunately, most of the servers are .mil (military). So when the not-so-nice men in funny green suits come and take you away to a bunker to chat with you, don't say I didn't warn you...

**** Third And Final Warning!!! ****
What you do with KaBoom! is your responsibility. I made this as a general Internet utility gone wrong. Don't be a dick...

Well, if you have any problems, email me at messiah@dcalcoda.com, messiah@pancreas.com, or dover@pestweb.com. Any ideas, suggestions, etc., are appreciated. No flames, please. If you don't like the prog, don't keep it.

If you have any cool ideas (within the realm of possibility), send me some mail.
