Citadel 68K Archiver support files
This is a set of examples of how to setup the external archiver support in
Citadel 68K. The manuals and documention are correct for the most part.
Things you need:
1) Move the DExxx.SYS files into the room area on your BBS. Citadel
needs to read these files when it starts up.
2) The particular archiver tools that are referenced. Citadel 68K
does not support the Zip format. Zip tools just are not that
stable and LHA is the prefered method of choice for Amiga owners.
3) Please register the appropriate tools that are shareware, while
Citadel is FREEWARE, these tools may not be.
4) Citadel documentation: Oper3.man. It contains a full explination
of what is supported from an IBM view point.
Summary of Format:
Line 1: Extract line
Line 2: Test Line
Line 3: Update Line
Line 1 is used by the read archive functions in Citadel. Citadel allows
you to do some functions with an archived file(like download only one
file from an archive). See the helps for reading and the Oper3.man, but
ignore the stuff on error level... You must have at least this line if
you wish to support one of the four possible archivers.
Line 2 is used when a user uploads a file to Citadel. The user is prompted
to see if an integrity check should be made. this is the command line
used. Optional line, you must have it if you want Line 3 for Fast Transfers.
Line 3 is used for Fast Transfers. Citadel will compress networked
messages using this line. Note: There is alot of other things to
setup(like the compression and protocol plus enabling FT in the sysop/net
/edit menu). READ THE MANUALS! The most important thing to do is that
first, then agree with the other sysop on what protocol and compression.
Optional line, if you have it, you must have line 2.
Example: DELHA.SYS
lha x -q -M -m
lha t -q -M -m
lha u -q -M -m
This is the DELHA.SYS, the full three lines. I use LHA 1.38 as an example.
The DELZH.SYS is nearly identical and also uses LHA to do the archiving
with the IDENTICAL same file except the third line has the added switch
of "-0" to make it general compatible lzh files.
I have included these files in the archive. You will have to supply the
appropriate tools(like LHA, ZOO, ARC, and LZH).
Note: You may use any tool for ARC(as an example), If you want to support
ARJ format and have an Amiga tool that will do ARJ, use it and call all the
files *.ARC. If the Users cooperate, it will work. It will cause some
confusion and you will probably get complaints about downloaded xxx.ARC
files that will not decompress with a *REAL* ARC, but users can read the
contents of the files online(any your could setup a FT using that type).
I don't recommend it...
If a new protocol support is desired, let me know and I will see about
adding it to Citadel.. As of now, the four are the only ones it looks
for.
