SAVEMAIL.PAS for WA7MBL BBS Operators -- by R.B. Shreve, W8GRG
(c) Copyright 1988 W8GRG -- Public Domain
SAVEMAIL.PAS includes GetDir and other routines from Turbo Pascal 4.0
and Turbo Tutor published by Borland. It also uses an original Savefile
routine. Source code for both is included in the file SAVEMAIL.PAS.
To run, type SAVEMAIL at the Dos > prompt. The program will call for
Path -- this is the drive, directory, and mask for the OLDMAIL files to
be screened and saved. Typical entry: C:\OLDMAIL\msg*.mai.
It then prompts for the path to which mail saved will be written. This
includes drive, directory (if any) and must end with \. Typical A:\
See the paragraph below on subdirectories required. (They do not have to
be entered in the path response).
The program discards all messages of Type W, whether forwarded or not.
(These are weather forecasts on the W8GRG BBS, but W could be used to
mark any unwanted files). It saves all other messages with a STATUS of F
(in general, third-party traffic).
Finally, it saves any messages of type A (ARRL), G (Gateway), or Y (W5YI
reports) that are identified with a STATUS code of S. Selection is done
manually by the SYSOP using MBL edit procedure at the time the messages
are first received and posted.
Each type of message requires a special subdirectory in the destination
directory: FWD for forwarded, ARRL, GTWY, and W5YI for the other types.
These directories must exist; the software will not create them. Users
who want other types can easily modify the source code to suit their
needs. If you need help, send me a message @ W8GRG BBS, Cleveland 44120.
