To write a message to an Internet address is a pain, that's where this program comes to play, *ease the pain*! What this program does is allow your users to enter an Internet message just like a FidoNet message, with the person's address at where it suppose to be, rather a line at beginning of the body of the message, where most users are likely to make mistakes. And this way reply to an Internet message is easier than ever, no need to strip the Internet address, change the destination name etc. All they need to do when reply is hit the reply key, type in reply, and let PBBSuucp handle the address stripping etc... Once your user entered such a message, and logged off your BBS, you call up the mail tosser/scanner to scan your message for any output messages, and moves the entered netmail to the Fidonet Netmail directory for delivery. After run the scanner, you call up *THIS PROGRAM*, it will scan through your netmail directory and find those messages with Internet style address (with "@") at the destination field, once a message is found, it redirects the message to "UUCP" and add a new line at the beginning of the body of the message like "TO: NAME@SOMEWHERE". Now, the message is all set for transfer through UUCP gateway without any error. *IT IS THAT EASY* Example: FR: Bing Wu TO: someone@somewhere, Panda BBS! (1:282/1016) RE: Testing -------- [Message Body] | Converts to | V FR: Bing Wu TO; UUCP, Panda BBS! UUCP Gate (1:282/1016) *OR* <<Default TO: UUCP, HostMaster (1:1/31) <<Override RE: Testing ----- TO: someone@somewhere [Message Body] This program is also able to replace the word "UUCP" from the FROM field of the incoming mail to the Internet address specified in the message body. If none found, UUCP will be still used. This program should be able to run on any computer with any kind of setup. The Author, however, CANNOT gurantee it will work on your computer or/and your system setup. ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │▓▓ Credits ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ Page 2 ▓▓│ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ * All Mentioned products in this manual are copyrighted/registered by its respective owner(s). * PBBSuucp.EXE incorporated MsgApi by Scott J.

It's a full screen program, so no EXTERNAL text editor is required. This version of PBBSuucp takes advantage of the environment variable, it will function much smoother with the SET environment but it's not required. It is simply used to make PBBSuucp and its utilitis to be able to locate the correct data files. In case neither the SET environment is set nor a directory is specified with command line parameter, current directory where the program is loaded will be used. Make sure that you also have the directory where the programs are located included in the PATH parameter. So the all programs can be located. To use the PBBSuucp evironment variable, simply add following line to your autoexec.bat or the batch file you call the RA or the PBBSuucp SET PBBSU=[Directory] Run this program after every toss/scan of mails by your mailer or run it once a day in the daily maintenance. All in All, it's upto you to decide! ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │▓▓ ■■ CONFIGURATION - PUSetup.EXE ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ Page 5 ▓▓│ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ PUSETUP is the full screen setup utility for PBBSuucp.
