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.
