+This is the README file for mbcico, the fidonet mailer for MBSE BBS.
+
+This is a heavily patched version of ifcico from the ifmail package written
+by Eugene G. Crosser (crosser@pccross.msk.su), 2:5020/230@fidonet. He deserves
+most of the credits for this product.
+
+Many others have contributed to the original ifcico and utilities. This
+version doesn't use the original config file anymore, it uses the databases
+that are maintained with mbsetup. Also, mail behaviour is different then
+in ifcico.
+
+I wrote this special version to let it fully integrate with all the other
+programs that are distributed with MBSE BBS, so mbcico will hopefully function
+in a multiline environment with mixed analogue modems and ISDN lines.
+
+The reason why I changed the name of this program is only to show that there
+is a real difference in the behavior and configuration compared with ifcico.
+
+If you insist on running the original ifcico on your system, it is still
+possible, I used it myself during the development of MBSE BBS. You need to
+run ifcico as the mbse admin user in the bbs group. Also make sure that the
+order of the nodelists is exactly the same in ifcico and MBSE BBS.
+
+The following people donated code to the original ifcico, this list is 
+not complete. It is possible that I forgot someone, but these are the names
+that I found in the several ifmail packages.
