;Welcome to TicToss for RBBS-PC, v1.10
;Lines beginning with a semi-colon are treated as comment lines, as well as
;blank lines.
;Don't be alarmed at the number of comments in this configuration file! Our
;goal is for a RBBS-PC sysop to read this file, edit it to reflect their setup,
;and begin using TicToss in 10 minutes! (Well, maybe 15-20). Experts at
;Fidonet & RBBS-PC will find themselves skimming through the text very quickly,
:while new Fidonet and RBBS-PC sysops may need to read a bit more. If you are
;unable to setup TicToss quickly and easily WE HAVE FAILED -- let us know
;where we may have confused you so we can help those who follow!
;First, TicToss needs to know where to expect to find the TICs & the
;accompanying files that arrive from your FTN (Fidonet Technology Network).
;The "Inbound" keyword should be set to the path where TicToss will find
;arriving TICs and FILES. Only ONE "Inbound" keyword is currently supported.
;For BinkleyTerm this will be the setting you have for "NetFile",
;"KnownInbound", or "ProtInbound" depending on your configuration. We STRONGLY
;suggest the usage of session level passwords with your mailer to prevent
;someone trying to send you files which you do not expect. (Session Level
;Passwords are a feature of your mailer -- refer to your mailer's security
;section for help in setting up.)
Inbound c:\binkley\inbound
;The "Preprocess" keyword is an optional temporary work around for those who
;need support for hubbing of files (which will be included in a future
;release). Using "Preprocess" allows for adding file descriptions to your
;FMS, but TicToss will NOT copy the file, NOR will it delete the TIC file.
;Immediately AFTER running TicToss you need to run TICK and let it take care
;of sending files to your downlinks as well as copying the file to the
;appropriate download path for your BBS callers. The "Preprocess"
;keyword is targeted primarily towards current TICK users who find
;its support of RBBS lacking.
;Preprocess
;The "DeleteUnknown" keyword is an option for Planet Connect subscribers or
;those with ftp connectivity. (Note there are no spaces between "Delete"
;and "Unknown".) Planet Connect subscribers and ftp users receive ALL the
;areas from their "host" no matter how few they actually process for their
;BBS. Using "DeleteUnknown" causes TicToss to delete BOTH the TIC and the
;file in the event it cannot find a match in your TICTOSS.CFG.
;Normally, TicToss leaves the TIC file as well as the file attached to the
;TIC file alone if it cannot find a matching AreaName in the TICTOSS.CFG --
;ie. TicToss assumes you have requested new areas from your host and have
;not configured the areas in your TICTOSS.CFG yet.
;DeleteUnknown
;The "TimesDownloaded" keyword is an option for those using the Times
;Downloaded feature of the Cellar Door Merges. If you're using this feature
;it is IMPORTANT you let TicToss know.
;TimesDownloaded
;The "DisableSecurity" keyword is a optional temporary work around for those
;who find themselves in need to not only hub files, but also extend release
;privileges (hatching for the techie folks) to others. Using the
;"DisableSecurity" keyword is VERY DANGEROUS and should only be used in
;conjunction with Session level passwords with all those receiving files
;from your system (this part of your mailer setup).
;DisableSecurity
;The "RenameSdn" keyword instructs TicToss to rename files with a .SDN
;extension to their real .ARJ extension. Using this feature will GREATLY
;assist BBS callers who find the whole idea of compression confusing...on
;more than one occasion I have had a comment asking for an archiving
;application which would uncompress .SDN files.
RenameSdn
;Next, TicToss needs information about how it should process the TIC files.
;The AreaName is the name each FDN (File Distribution Network) uses for its
;various File Echos and should be unique for each file echo. Generally these
;are limited to 8 CHARACTERS, but TicToss can accommodate up to 80 CHARACTERS
;for an AreaName. There should not be any spaces as part of the AreaName --
;underline characters are substituted.
;TicToss supports an UNLIMITED number of AreaNames/File Echos.
;Example: AreaName UTILNET
;FilePath is the full path where TicToss will copy the files after their TIC
;information has been verified as valid & description added to your FMS.
;(After copying the file, TicToss deletes the file in your "Inbound" directory.)
;Example: FilePath c:\FileBone\Utility
;FMSCode is the Category Code to assign files received in the current AreaName.
;Generally most assign a unique Category Code for each Areaname, but often the
;AreaNames of a FDN are not specificly different enought to warrant their own
;category code so you may wish to use the same Category Code for an entire
;FDN. RBBS is limited to three characters for Category Codes, so likewise you
;should limit your FMSCode to three characters. Be sure that the FMSCode used
;here is the SAME as those used in your RBBS setup or callers will be faced
;with mixed up files, and/or not see some files at all. Note: You may use the
;same FMSCodes for multiple FMS Files -- this would require Subboards on RBBS's
;part.
;Example: FMSCode UTL
;FMSFile is the FMS file where the File descriptions will be written. Most
;new RBBS sysops use the same FMS for all their files, but others may choose
;to use MANY FMS files for various reasons such as Subboards.
;Example: FMSFile c:\Rbbs\Fms\OS2.Dir
;Host is the FTN address of the system which sends Files and their associated
;TIC files. As far as I know the Host's address is specified in the 3D form
;of Zone:Network/Node, but there isn't any manipulation done on TicToss's part
;to break an address apart and instead it just compares the string of characters
;for a proper match when verifing TIC files. If you find yourself on the
receiving end of a different address format, just note the format and use that
in this file for your Host's address.
;Host works in conjunction with the Password Keyword.
;Example: Host 1:136/2
;Password is the password your Host adds to the TIC file before forwarding the
;TIC and its File to your system. This password is generally agreed upon by
;mutual consent, but if your Uplink assigned your password at random, you may
;have to do a bit of detective work. Using a text file browser (such as LIST),
;look at the very last line of the TIC file. Thelast line should begin with
;"Pw" which is short for Password -- the word that follows "Pw" is the Password
;for AreaName. Most sysops receive files from only one system, but since each
;Password is associated with an AreaName you may receive different file echos
;from different persons if you so desire. Just remember to use a UNIQUE and
;DIFFERENT Password for each system sending you Files.
;Password works in conjunction with the Host Keyword.
;Example: Password LetMeIn
;That's it! Now you just need to add your AreaNames to this file with the
;FilePath, FMSCode, FMSFile, Host & Password information for each AreaName
;and begin importing TIC files!
;For the sake of further examples, below follows a snip of our TICTOSS.CFG file.
;The Password entries have been changed. 8-)
