Please read RASMAM.DOC. Use it and this file as guides to setting
up RASMAM. This document outlines the steps require to set up and
execute a simple script.
o Edit or create your echo control file to include all the
message areas you wish to process with RASMAM. The echo
control file is described in the Opus documentation. It's
okay to list message areas in your echo control file that
aren't echomail areas -- just don't list any FidoNet
addresses in the line that declares the message area.
As an example, here's a part of my ECHO.CTL file:
1 d:\opus\messages\general GENERAL 18/16
2 d:\opus\messages\jax JAX 112/5
3 d:\opus\messages\comment COMMENT
4 d:\opus\messages\private PRIVATE
5 d:\opus\messages\bbs BBS 18/16
6 d:\opus\messages\forsale SALE
7 d:\opus\messages\anon ANON
10 d:\opus\messages\net NET
Note: The lines must start in the first column. Don't put extra
spaces in the lines. Also, Opus expects your echo control file
to be in the same directory as your nodelist (as specified by the
"PATH NETINFO" statement in your Opus control file).
o Create a RASMAM script. If you just want to create message
waiting lists, you need to have the following in the script:
; Be sure to give the complete path to your user file
FILE USER c:\opus\user.bbs
; The FILE ECHO statement points to your echo control file
FILE ECHO c:\opus\nodelist\echo.ctl
; PATH CUSTOM tells MAM where to put custom welcomes
; In most cases this should be your Opus subdirectory
PATH CUSTOM c:\opus
; FILE HEADER tells RASMAM the name of a file for Opus to
; display before the list of waiting messages.
FILE HEADER c:\opus\misc\rasmam.hdr
; The FORMAT command tells MAM what format to use for the list
; (See SAMPLE.MAM)
FORMAT C
; Now for each area you wish to process, set up an AREA block
; with the WAIT command:
; The name after AREA is the echomail name from your echo
; control file -- not the path to the message area.
AREA general
WAIT
;other commands like KILL and RENUM may be entered here
END AREA
; Repeat the AREA/END AREA sequence for each message area
; that you wish to check.
; At the end of your script. use the FILE TRAILER statement to
; add text after all the lists of messages waiting.
FILE TRAILER c:\opus\misc\rasmam.trl
o Execute your script by entering the following command from
DOS:
RASMAM script /LIST
where script is the name of your script file.
