- Subject :Setup of files for the DB/BBSERV format.
-
- The server will serve any format file, this system allows a series of
- files to be sent with one command.
-
- BBreqfil.exe will make up additional messages to the user containing any
- group of files with a right suffix of "B" or greater if the original
- request was for a filename.ext ending in "A"
-
- This is controlled by the way you set up your data files. I have recomended
- that you set your data up using extensions Filename.01 Filename.02 etc.
- If a file has more than one part as most do the first will be Filename.01A
- and then on up Filename.01B , Filename.01C etc.
- If BBreqfil finds a request that has an .??A extension it will then continue
- to read & make separate replies for .??B thru .??Z or until it finds no more.
- Using mods as an example one for the TS430 the first TS430 Mod will be
- TS430.01 the second TS430.02 the third Ts430.03 etc. If any have to be
- broken into small parts for packet transmission then TS430.01 will become
- TS430.01A, TS430.01B, TS430.01C etc.
- When BBreqfil finds a file that ends in "A" it will then continue to read and
- make a separate message for the remaining files of the same filename.
-
- If you do not want this function to operate just don't have any files that
- end in "A". or if they do not a series starting with "A".
-
- If they have any other suffix it will operate in a normal fashion.
-
- Trailers will be sent with each file, Rotate.trl will rotate with each
- message also.
-
- ===========================================================================
-
- A user sending a blank subject or a Subject: BATCH will be able to
- request a batch of files ( up to 25 ) in one request. If the user doesn't
- indicate a directory the server will look in your MODS directory wherever
- you have it set up. The user may however request files in any order from
- any directory by just listing them on separate lines in the message text.
-
- A directory must be specified in the message text as in:
-
- SRV USER.DOC
- MODS TR430S.01
-
- If no directory is specified BBreqfil will look in "MODS" if you have one.
