Setup.DOC
---------
Note - This file is NOT an in depth document on how to set up each program.
It is designed to help new users to set up their system, to make the
appropiate directories, to install Trapdoor and April, to make the
appropiate changes to the trapdoor.cfg file, basically to set up
their system to start to send mail on a BBS. Individual problems
can be sorted out by reading the appropiate manuals or by contacting
myself at 2:250/364.4
This file describes how to MANUALLY install AmigaPoint, This is now not
necessary as an automatic installation program is now included. This text
can be used as a reference to what the installation does. More experienced
users can, if they wish, follow this text and install everything manually.
The important files included in this disk are :
- April.lha - point software archive.
- Trapdoor.lzh - mailer software archive.
- Nodelist.322 - Fido Nodelist for UK for day 322.
- SGTrapdoor.config - Edited trapdoor.cfg file.
- Fido.cfg - TrapList config file - Do not edit.
- AmigaPoint.Install - Automatic installation program.
A. Setting up Mailer software - Trapdoor
-------------------------------------
1. Make directory "MAIL" from your root directory - SYS:MAIL
Make directory "APRIL" in your root directoty - SYS:APRIL
Make directory "INBOUND" in directory "MAIL" - SYS:MAIL/INBOUND
Make directory "OUTBOUND" in directory "MAIL" - SYS:MAIL/OUTBOUND
Make directory "ARCHIVE" in directory "MAIL" - SYS:MAIL/ARCHIVE
Make directory "TEMP" in directory "MAIL" - SYS:MAIL/TEMP
Make directory "FILES" in directory "MAIL" - SYS:MAIL/FILES
Make directory "BACKUP" in directory "MAIL" - SYS:MAIL/BACKUP
Make directory "TRAPDOOR" in directory "MAIL" - SYS:MAIL/TRAPDOOR
Make directory "NODELIST" in directory "MAIL" - SYS:MAIL/NODELIST
2. Copy file NODELIST.322 to directory SYS:MAIL/NODELIST
3. Dearchive file TrapDoor.lzh to directory SYS:MAIL/TRAPDOOR
4. Copy file SGTrapdoor.config to SYS:MAIL
rename file SGTrapdoor.config to trapdoor.cfg
5. Edit file trapdoor.cfg
- NODE => Enter your FidoNET address
- AKA => Leave blank...
- NAME => Enter the name of YOUR system, DO NOT enter the
name of the BBS you poll from.
- SYSOP => Enter Your own name here.
- PASSWORD => Enter your session password here, it is NOT your
password to log on to the BBS normally.
- BOSS => This is the FidoNET address of the BBS, it is the same
as yours but without the point number.
- CALL => This is the data phone number of the BBS.
NOTE - Due to the method in which the automatic installation works, the
above commands are NOT present in the file SGTrapDoor.config, they
are, however, present in the file TrapDoor.cfg found in the
directory "TRAPDOOR:EXAMPLES"
6. Copy file fido.cfg (This can be found in SYS:MAIL/TRAPDOOR/EXAMPLES)
to SYS:MAIL
7. Run TRAPLIST - Found in SYS:MAIL/TRAPDOOR/BIN
B. - Setting up Point software - APRIL
---------------------------------
8. Dearchive file April.lha to directory SYS:APRIL
9. READ APRIL.DOC FOR SETTING UP OPTIONS FOR APRIL
C. - General System Corrections
--------------------------
Edit File user-startup and add the fllowing lines :
assign APRIL: SYS:APRIL/
assign Mail: SYS:MAIL/
assign TrapDoor: SYS:MAIL/TRAPDOOR/BIN/
path TrapDoor:
assign Nodelist: SYS:MAIL/NODELIST/
If you have any problems setting up the options for April, send me a NetMAIL
message, my FidoNET address is 2:250/364.4
Don't worry, you may think that getting your point system set up is almost
impossible, but you'll get there in the end, I had to spend a week sorting
out my system, 8-)
Credits :
John Keniry - Without his enspired knowledge of the Amiga Installer
script, AmigaPoint would still be as difficult as ever
to install. Now all that is required is a simple double
click - Many thanx and well done that man.
Harry Genery - For final installation testing - and finding a fault which
I didn't know was there.
Simon Cansick - SysOp of Guru-ten BBS, and the person who started me
off on this expedition of misadventure and late nights
swetting over my poor humble A500.
Good Luck I'll see you on FidoNET.
Stuart Grier. Fido 2:250/364.4
