** WATCH OUT **********************************************************************
- UUGate do not create directories for you (not even spool/system)

*** Some user related stuff
What is UUGate ?
UUGate (called ug futher on) gates Mail <-> Netmail and News <-> Echomail
between Internet and Fidonet.
What do i need to run uugate ?
You will need an PC running OS/2 2.x w HPFS, and BinkleyTerm 2.59.
If you recieves compressed (cunbatch) news you will need COMPRESS.
How do i send mail to Internet ?
You address your netmail to uucp at the node/point uugate resides, and
the first line in the netmail must have "To: jbr@cindy.ct.se" ie the
internet address you are sending the mail to, *AND* the line in the mail
following "To: .." must be empty.
You can allso put the internet address in the to: field of an netmail,
but if you do so the netmail *MUST* be addressed directly to the UG
point/node.
How do i send articles in an echo area gated by uugate ?
You do as you are used to, ie no special trix are required.
*** How to setup uugate
Example fakts: (taken from the authors setup)
Fidonode: 2:200/427
UUGate port: 2:200/427.3
Internet: address jbr@cindy.ct.se
Mailhost: seunet
Newshost: seunet
First create following dir's (according to your configuration).
c:/uugate (where the exe and cfg files is)
c:/uugate/tmp (scratch dir)
c:/uugate/spool (the spool dir)
c:/uugate/spool/seunet (spool dir for my mailhost ie one dir for every System)
Patch your BBS.CMD file like:
so you can jump out on an errorlevel.
:UUCP
cd \uugate ; change cwd to where uugate exe's is
futoss ; toss mail from the port to the mailhost
uucico -sseunet ; callup your mailhost
uftoss ; read mailhost spooldir and send it to fido tosser
cd \Bt
start /win /b /min squish.cmd
Patch the uugate.cfg file according to your needs.
To call uugate with an comhandle (external mailer) ...
Set this in BINKLEY.CFG.
ExtrnMail uucp
Then binley creates MAILBAT.CMD wich calls ExtMail.Cmd that could look like ..
CD \BBS\uugate
uucico -p%3
uftoss
CD \BBS\BT
*** the UUGate programs
----------
futoss.exe ( futoss -x<debug 0|1> )
futoss first scans your netmail dir for mail to "uucp",
afther that it reads the bink "hlo" file to get echo/mail.
exit 0 = nothing happended ..
1 = found and tossed netmail/echomail
9 = error
----------
uftoss.exe ( uftoss -s<system> -x<debug 0|1> )
uftoss reads the "system" dir and sends the mail/news to your
bink inbound dir.
If you want to scan all System's ... use -sall
exit 0 = nothing happended ..
1 = found and tossed mail/news
9 = error
----------
uucico.exe ( uucico -s<system> -x<debug 0|1> )
uucico calls your "system" and delivers whatever futoss put
in the spool/system dir.
Afther that it recieves whatever the mailhost gives to uucico.
If you want to call just one System's use -s<system>
If you want to call all System's use -sall
If you want to call all System's (with call files) use -sany
exit 0 = nothing happended ( ie -sany did'nt find any C.xx files)
1 = made a connect with the system(s).
2 = failed to make connect with system(s).
9 = error
*** The End ***
