+# Marsmail Tools
+
+Legacy tools for user provisioning, mail handling, and workstation support in a Mars/Linux server environment.
+
+> This repository preserves a historical toolkit originally used to manage user accounts, Pegasus Mail workflows, and supporting admin utilities in a mixed Linux/DOS network setup.
+
+## Features
+
+This repository includes tools for:
+
+- user account creation and removal
+- mail conversion for Pegasus Mail clients
+- outgoing mail posting back to Unix systems
+- quota and expiry handling
+- login and notification scripts
+- user application processing
+- default homepage generation
+
+Documented components include: `marsmail.exe`, `newuser.pl`, `ohmasteruser`, `nomasteruser`, `ohpostme`, `ohquota`, `ohmail`, `ohmessage`, `ohform.htm`, `pmail.bat`, `pmgate.sys`, `pmdflts.ini`, and `wwwhomepage`.
+
+## What is Marsmail?
+
+Marsmail is described in the original documentation as a Pascal-based frontend that translates Unix mail files into a format readable by Pegasus Mail. The surrounding scripts automate account setup, notifications, quota reporting, and mail gateway tasks.
+
+## Repository Goals
+
+This project is useful for:
+
+- preserving historical sysadmin tooling
+- studying legacy mail gateway workflows
+- exploring early campus/lab network automation
+- adapting older operational ideas for modern migrations
+
+## Included Files
+
+A few notable files in this repository:
+
+- `marsmail.exe` — mail conversion utility
+- `pmail.bat` — Pegasus Mail launcher/helper
+- `pmgate.sys` — Pegasus Mail gateway configuration
+- `pmdflts.ini` — default Pegasus Mail settings
+- `ohform.htm` — HTML user application form
+- `newuser.pl` — form processor for new accounts
+- `ohmasteruser` — account creation helper
+- `nomasteruser` — account removal and cleanup helper
+- `ohpostme` — outgoing mail handoff script
+- `wwwhomepage` — default homepage generator
+
+These names are taken from the original package documentation.
+
+## Build and Install
+
+A provided `CMakeLists.txt` shows an install step that deploys several runtime files, including:
+
+- `marsmail.exe`
+- `pmail.bat`
+- `pmgate.sys`
+- `ohlogscr.bat`
+- `pmdflts.ini`
+
+into a public installation directory. It also defines Linux-specific compiler flags and version macros.
+
+Example:
+
+```cmake
+install(FILES marsmail.exe pmail.bat pmgate.sys ohlogscr.bat pmdflts.ini
+  DESTINATION ${MARS_NWE_INSTALL_FULL_FILEDIR}/SYS/public)
+```
+
+## Legacy Environment
+
+The original documentation assumes a historical environment with:
+
+- a Linux-based Mars server
+- DOS workstations
+- Pegasus Mail clients
+- Unix mailbox storage
+- custom login scripts and mapped drives
+
+This software is not plug-and-play on modern systems and will likely require adaptation.
+
+## User Application Form
+
+The repository includes an HTML application form for requesting a user account. It collects applicant details, preferred usernames, skill levels, operating system preferences, support expectations, and requested services. The form is intended to submit data to `newuser.pl`.
+
+## Status
+
+This is a **legacy preservation project**.
+
+It is best treated as:
+
+- archival software
+- reference material
+- migration input
+- a starting point for modernization
+
+## Security Warning
+
+These tools were designed for an older environment and may contain assumptions that are unsafe on modern systems.
+
+Review carefully before running anything, especially code related to:
+
+- user creation and deletion
+- mailbox processing
+- file permissions
+- web publishing
+- shell or batch execution
+
+The original documentation also recommends making backups before changing account-related data.
+
+## License
+
+The original documentation states that the package is distributed under the GNU Public License and references a `COPYING` file for details.
