The TriBBS Bulletin Board System 125
----------------------------------------------------------------------
c:\tribbs\betas\*.*,lobster
*.gif,adult
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In the above example, the caller would have to enter a password of
LOBSTER to be able to download any files that are located in the
directory C:\TRIBBS\BETAS. Additionally, the caller would have to
enter a password of ADULT for any file with the extension of GIF.
Packing the Message Base
------------------------
You may have noticed that included with your TriBBS files is a file
called TRIPACK.EXE. TriPack is the TriBBS message base packer. It
will remove any <DELETED> messages and messages that are older than
the number of days you have indicated in your message conferences
setup. TriPack was developed as an external program in order to
permit you to pack your message base as an event. TriPack is a fairly
easy program to use and can be executed with the following command
line:
TRIPACK /P /R /C:range
Where:
/P is an optional switch. If specified, all
messages marked <PRIVATE><RECEIVED> will be
deleted.
/R is an optional switch. If specified, the
message base conference will be renumbered.
TriBBS support message numbers as high as
999,999. You should only renumber a message
base conference if you think the conference
will rollover this amount. Although TriBBS
will update its message threads internally,
net mail message threads may be lost. For
example, PCRelay maintains a list of message
threads for each netmail conference. After
renumbering your message conference, PCRelay
will not be able to correctly indicate if a
message has been replied to or not.
/C:range is an optional switch. It is used to specify
either a single conference or a range of
conferences to be packed. A single
conference is packed by specifying its number
