AFM stands for Automatic File Mover. If you receive TIC files, look for
TICIN which is a simple TIC file receiver.
Concept
-------
SENDING...
You send a file along with a control file to a destination. Based on the
contents of the control file, the target node senses the file and moves it
into the correct location on his/her system.
To send, you just run AFM SEND sendfile.ext
The sendfile.ext is documented. It's enclosed as SEND.LST.
RECEIVING...
You receive a file along with a control file from a source node. Based on
the contents of the control file, your system checks if a predetermined
password and address is OK, then moves it to a predetermined area for you.
FILES REQUIRED
--------------
AFM EXE Main Program
AFM NUM Counter file created by afm.exe
AFM DOC This document
AFMNODE IN sample receive file
AFMPAR IN sample receive file

You might have in your nightly maintenance routine the following batch

AFM SEND STUFF
... note you DO NOT USE EXTENSIONS. Your files must have IN or OUT extensions
for AFM to function.
... each area can be checked separately so you might do certain things more
than once a day, others nightly, and others weekly (using chkday.com).
