HI there...
New to 1.1: Bug fixed in date stamp. Renames to current date extention IE
MO0 all the time...
I'm basically too tired to write an in depth doc of this as it's nine in the
morning and way past my bedtime. :-)
PKTShovel was invented and programmed to get rid of the need to use Trapdoor
to run a fake point on a BBS system... However you can use it for just about
everything since it uses a config file to give details on the operations to
perform.
Simply put. Shove PKTShovel.rexx in REXX: Set the script flag and make sure
you user-startup adds a path to REXX: (C= didn't do that out of the box)
Now...
Usage:
[rx] PKTShove <SYSTEM> [quiet]
System is the name of the group of move commands in the config file. (more
later) and the quiet switch will turn off copying and deleting information
if desired.
Now... Config file:
Simple put a group of MOVE commands must come after a SYSTEM command.
Something like-
SYSTEM BBS
;
MOVE BBS_OUT: SPOT_IN: 2:254/205.0
MOVE BBS_OUT: SPOT_IN: 39:139/5.0
MOVE BBS_OUT: SPOT_IN: 959:104/5.0
;
MOVE SPOT_IN: BBS_OUT: 2:254/205.1
MOVE SPOT_IN: BBS_OUT: 39:139/5.1
MOVE SPOT_IN: BBS_OUT: 959:104/5.1
;
DOSCOM BBS:Scripts/unpackmail.script
;
SYSTEM
;
MOVE etc etc etc...
Got it?
MOVE <Source> <Destination> (What address packets in the SOURCE!!)
Simple... The paths MUST have a ':' or a '/' as I was too lazy to code idiot
checking crap at this stage...
The DOSCOM is simply executed. This is it is NOT run as a script command but
executed as if you typed it from the shell yourself... Any spaces will be
remove so JUST use it for a path to a script file AND SET THE SCRIPT
FLAG!!!! THIS IS MOST IMPORTANT!
I did it this way partly out of lazyness and party because I hadn't decided
if my own script was going to be DOS or AREXX. And Arexx example is given
that will cause Spot to Import and the run Xeno's INBOUNDMAIL script.
Obviously useless to you if you don't use them so use your own...
Ah... That's about it. There's example enough in the file.
If you've anything to add the contact me at 2:254/205.0 or 39:139/5.0
Bye bye... <yawn>
..... Thud.
