NSEND.EXE
1.0
June 13, 1987
This is directly stolen from Wynn Wagner's OSEND. As far as I know
that means its still coverred under the Wynn Wagner's "must be used
in a friendly, legal manner and be free to anyone" license.
The difference is that I've added enough code to allow the use of
wildcards in the file names. OPUS 1.00 will not send out a file
with a wildcard in the name because it can't find a match so NSEND
expands any wildcards to full file names.
| You can also use NSEND 1.0 to send the same file(s) to different
| Matrix addresses, with different attributes set. That is, you can
| send say, the NODEDIFF, to up to 20 boards in one command line,
| each with its own behavior, (whether its Crash, Hold, or Normal
| mail)
To use just enter:
NSEND C:\Opus\Files\Comm\QMS*.arc -N119/13 -H119/5 -C119/42 -PC:\Opus\Outbound
| | | | |
Path and filename -+ Net/Node address | | Outbound hold-
(can be more than of receiver for | | ing directory.
more than one per Normal mail. | | (/Opus/Outbound/
line.) Mark files as "Hold" -+ | by default)
for 119/5 |
Send to 119/42 Crash
If NSEND is unable to find any matching files for the filename it
is given it will not generate an outbound mail file. The current
limit on the number of files it will mail in one pass is 30. That
was just rather arbitrarily taken from OPUS.H.
| I think the ability send to multiple boards from the same command
| line removes the need to have NSEND read a script file unless
| someone can come up with some reason why it should. If you come up
| with one, please send a sample of what the script file would do.
As always, suggestions are welcome.

History:
NSEND 0.00 June 9, 1987
Copied from Wynn Wagner's OSEND_11, added the code to allow wild
cards in file names. Altered small section so that enterring the
holding area with a trailing backslash is not an error.
NSEND 1.00 June 13, 1987
Dropped the '-ANet/Node' in favor of allowing entry of multiple
addresses. The current limit is 20 matrix addresses and 30 files.
That's 600 files in one pass. Would probably tie up your board for
hours if you tried to exceed it.
