USING THE G3WCS (VER 2) REQFIL SERVER WITH F6FBB BBS (VER 5.14 AND LATER)
=========================================================================
This server will allow you to send a message to this BBS and receive a reply
containing a textfile from the mailbox files area. You may determine what
files are available by sending a REQDIR message (which is described in the
document REQDIR.DOC). The file will then be automatically forwarded back to
your home BBS.
The message format is as follows:-
Address : SP REQFIL @ GB7$$$
Title : DRIVE:\DIRECTORY\SUB DIRECTORY\FILENAME @ GB7###
Message text : Either /EX or CONTROL Z
The callsign GB7$$$ is that of the mailbox from where you wish the listing
to be obtained.
Here are two examples of the title line :-
C:\MODS\TS430.PTT @ GB7CHS or
D:\MODS\FT101.VOX
In the first example the file TS430.PTT from the directory C:\MODS will be
sent to you at GB7CHS, regardless of which mailbox you used to enter your
request. In the second example you would receive the file FT101.VOX, from
the D:\MODS directory, addressed to you at the mailbox where you entered
your request.
You should understand that all disks, directories and files are named
according to DOS (Disc Operating System) convention. That is, they have the
actual disk letter (eg C:\), then the directory, followed by the file name
and extension. Between the two names is the "\" separator. If you do not
fully understand this naming convention please ask your local sysop for more
details.
In the title line, the @ GB7### is the callsign of the mailbox to which you
wish your reply to be forwarded. This item is optional, if you do not
include it your reply will be returned to the mailbox at which you entered
your request.

SYSOP GB7CHS.
