Notes from Garner Miller on setting up MacWoof to run with Tabby:
CV> Garner: Looking good! Can you pass on to me details of running
CV> MacWoof with Tabby as there are some others who are <dying> to
CV> test it but without mailer capabilities it isn't much use...
Certainly! It's so ridiculously simple, since it doesn't ARC the messages. After you export the messages, remember what the filename for the packet file is -- in my case, it's 006D0148.PKT -- you can always go to the finder and [C]opy the filename if that's too much to remember.
Then simply open the “Tabby Mail Received” file, and add the following (This is just my example):
HD:MacWoof Point:006D0148.PKT<RETURN>
The return is quite important -- make sure there is one return after each entry in that file (If there are any in there now), and the last entry must have one after the filename. After that, it's simply a matter of creating a “launch.next” file in the folder that holds the BBS programs, and put in it the name of the programs you want to run after the mail is delivered. For me, it would be...
Your individual names will vary. :-) Then run the TabbyNet DeliverMail program, and it'll take care of the rest. Real quick and simple when you get right down to it -- I just wanted to be sure and be detailed here... :-) Works great for me.
As for importing, that's easy enough. Grab the file that Tabby builds for your point (Mine's 89E7FE7D.MO1), and unARC all its contents into the MacWoof folder. Then stick it in a temporary folder (Other than the Generic files folder) just in case something goes wrong and you need to start all over.) Then just import the .PKTs as you would normally.
