- Digger Command Summary
-
- Send the commands to Digger@G1YYH. A command must be the first word on
- each line in the message. Lines which do not start with a command word
- are ignored. A single message may contain multiple commands; a separate
- response will be sent for each.
-
- The commands understood by the Digger program are:
-
- help lists this file.
-
- archives produces a short list of all the available archives.
-
- index [<archive_name>]
- produces an index of the specified <archive-name>, if
- no <archive_name> is included, then the index command
- will return a list of files in the default archive.
-
- i.e,
-
- index tcp-v92
- index amygrant
- index yaesu
-
- retrieve [<filename>] [<archive_name>]
- will return the requested <filename> from the specified
- <archive_name>. If no <archive_name> is supplied but a
- <filename> is supplied, then Digger will return the
- specified <filename> from the default <archive_name>. If
- neither a <filename> nor an <archive_name> are supplied,
- then a short help file will be returned about the
- retrieve command.
-
- i.e,
-
- retrieve v92-222 tcp-v92
- retrieve 1974 amygrant
- retrieve ft290rii yaesu
-
- The help, archives, index and retrieve commands can be abbreviated to
- the minimum unique string to identify the command. I.e,
-
- help h
- archives a
- index i
- retrieve r
-
- More commands will be added in the future:
-
- from: or
- reply-to: Digger will return files to the LAST From: or Reply-To:
- address in the message (not just the message header), and
- the Reply-To: address is used in preference to the From:
- address. So if you want to redirect responses to a
- different address from that in the header, then include
- either a 'from: user@hostname' or 'reply-to user@hostname'
- as the first line of the message to Digger.
-
- i.e,
-
- sp digger@g1yyh.gb7tcp.#16.gbr.eu
- subject: request
- reply-to: your-call@your-bbs
- help
- ...
- <other digger commands>
- ...
- ctrl-z or /ex
-
- Bye for now.

- Cheers, John
