Documentation file for (c)M1FILTER.EXE
By Bjorn Hallgren <SM6GQW>
Version 0.1
Unregistered version of this software is HamWare. A registered
version of this software may only be copied as a personal backup.
The unregistered version may be freely distributed in its original
form. You may not add or subtract any part of the original package.
Description of M1FILTER(c).
The program runs directly under FBB version 5.15 and is called auto-
matically every time text is saved to disk. Information is given by
FBB where to find the file, status (P/B/A/T), receiver and sender.
The receiver refers to the TO-field.
M1FILTER(c) reads the text and compares it with control data locat-
ed in a file called M1FILTER.WRD. When data fits with the specifi-
cations in M1FILTER.WRD then the program will generate an "exitcode"
to FBB telling which status the text will be marked with. Different
status will be given depending on wether the text is a bulletin,
personal mail, verification (ACK:) or a NTS-message. (The NTS-func-
tion is not yet implemented).
Using the program in this way gives the sysop the flexibility to
locally configure the function at his own BBS.
If you want to log what M1FILTER(c) is doing, then this can be done
by adding a line to M1FILTER.WRD. The logfile (M1FILTER.LOG) will be
created and will reside in the same subdirectory as the M1FILTER.EXE.
Install.
If there is no other filterprogram in use then the installation will
be as follows: Rename M1FILTER.EXE to M_FILTER.EXE and M1FILTER.WRD
to M_FILTER.WRD. Locate both files to the FBB subdirectory BIN.
Next time you start the FBB, M_FILTER.exe will be recognized by the
BBS program and it will start to work automatically.
If you already use a M_FILTER.EXE then, normally, there can not
be a second filter program running at the same time. To come
around this limitation I have written a small piece of software
called M_FILTER.EXE which will replace the original M_FILTER.EXE.
The program is controlled through M_FILTER.CFG which contains
information on all filter programs you would like to use. The
program then executes each and every filter in chronological
order. For specific information read the M_FILTER.EXE documen-
tation. In most cases there is a M_FILTER which belongs to AUTO7P.
This one as well as M1FILTER(c) can be put in any subdirectory.
M1FILTER.WRD contains the different words which the program is
searching for.
Below you will find an example .WRD file

# Comments shall begin with a # as the first sign.
# Minimize comments as the program reads all put into the .WRD file
#
# Only capital ASCII signs are allowed.
# Only single space strokes are allowed.
# It is impossible to search for MAYBE NOT. The filter reads this as
# MAYBE NOT.
# The unregistered version of this filter allows a maximum of 5 lines.
# The registered version allows 10 search lines. A Sysop running a HF-
# BBS will be granted more lines.
# Anyone trying to modify the program will be hit by severe problems. One
# of these problems is trashed datafiles.

Suggestions and bug reports are much welcomed as well as wish lists
describeing improvements or "add-on" functions. There will be two
different versions released. The unregistered version (standard).
The registered version with extended functions. Sysops running HF-
BBS:es will, upon request, receive the program with greatly enhanced
possibilities to lock out unwanted words.
There is no fee. The author just asks for a picture postcard sent to
him at his home adress. QSL-cards via bureau does not count!!
