- SPLIT.EXE Version 1.0
-
- SPLIT.EXE is a program intended to work with FBB, to split up large
- messages into smaller parts. The subject is altered to show it is split,
- as well as a continue line appended to the end of the message. A message
- is also sent to the originator using the file COMPLAIN as the text of the
- message. In the case of a WP update, it will be split without altering
- the subject, or adding to the message body.
-
-
- The command line syntax of SPLIT.EXE is as follows:
- SPLIT.EXE In_file Out_file Complain_file Size
- In_file The file ( messages ) being split
- Out_file The finished messages to go back to the BBS
- Complain_file Message file sent to originator
- Size Maximum size of split message
-
- The normal Out_file is \FBB\MAIL.IN which is read by the BBS once a minute.
-
- The Complain_file first line is used for storing your call, and will
- be used for the FROM field in the message. The following lines are the
- body of the message to be sent to the originator of the too large message.
-
- The size specified, is the maximum size for the message. The program
- splits messages as evenly as possible, on line boundaries. If an error
- does occur, the message is passed to Out_file in its original form.
-
- To install, place the SPLIT.EXE in the \FBB\BIN\ subdirectory. Edit
- the COMPLAIN file to suit your needs, and place it in a subdirectory
- of your own choosing. Edit your BBS.SYS and enter SPLIT as a BBS. Create
- a forward file for split, following the example in the supplied file
- SPLIT.FWD. In the FORWARD.SYS, enter a file reference to the split forward
- file as in the example below.
- #
- #
- < FWD\SPLIT.FWD
- #
- #
- #
-
- To use the program, set the message you want split to forward to the
- split program with the FA command within FBB. Then when the BBS forwards,
- the file is processed, and the results are read back in using MAIL.IN
- within a minute.

- I have a lot of fun programming, but always need feedback for ideas,
- and bug fixes. Let me know what is on your mind, even if it is running
- fine. Most folks are quiet when things are working right, and gives me
- the feeling nobody is running this stuff. Drop me a QSL card and tell me
- which program you are running.
