NOTES ON DFCFG.??? FOR HUB'S
============================
Although Dogfight was never intended for use by a hub, imported messages
can be passed onto other systems - Please note however that Dogfight strips
PATH: and SEEN-BY: lines from messages that are passed on, and replaces them
with a Path/Seen-by of yourself and the node you are passing to.
Under normal operation all the DF??????.EXE programs will default to
reading DFCFG.001.
To allow messages to be exported more than once (for HUB's) the following
procedure MUST be followed.
DFCFG.??? files must be created for each net/node you wish to export
messages to. You can either create each file from scratch, or copy DFCFG.001
to DFCFG.002 / DFCFG.003 etc.. then ammend the conference data in each
config file.
When ammending the conference data:
For each area you wish exported more than once
Ammend 'Net to send to' and 'Node' to the net/node you wish the
messages exported to.
Toggle the 'Mark exported messages as sent ? (Y/n)' to 'FALSE'
i.e. select 'N'.
Do this for each DFCFG.??? you create EXCEPT THE LAST ONE.
The last DFCFG.??? *MUST* have all the 'Mark exported messages as sent?'
toggled to TRUE. This will ensure that once all messages are exported to
your various nodes, DFEXPORT will mark the messages as sent.
The export portion of your batch file will then look like this :
CD\DOG
DFEXPORT L DFCFG.001 -| 'Mark exported messages as sent?' toggled to
DFEXPORT L DFCFG.002 |-- FALSE for those conferences to be re-exported.
DFEXPORT L DFCFG.003 |--'Net to send to' and 'Node' ammended to the net/
DFEXPORT L DFCFG.004 -| node of the recipient system.
etc..
etc..
DFEXPORT L DFCFG.nnn ---- ALL 'Mark exported as sent?' toggled to TRUE.
Example of multiple DFCFG.??? files:
DFCFG.001 Conference data contains:
Conference 10<->FIDO area AMSTRAD (Exported to 256/97) Mark Sent=TRUE
Conference 11<->FIDO area BBS-NEWS (Exported to 256/97) Mark Sent=FALSE
Conference 12<->FIDO area BUY (Exported to 256/97) Mark Sent=FALSE
Conference 13<->FIDO area COMMS (Exported to 256/97) Mark Sent=FALSE
Conference 14<->FIDO area GAMING (Exported to 256/97) Mark Sent=FALSE
Conference 15<->FIDO area HARDWARE (Exported to 256/97) Mark Sent=FALSE
( Conference 10 is exported to 256/97 ONLY and will NOT be re-exported.
Conferences 11 to 15 are exported to 256/97 and WILL be re-exported.)
DFCFG.002 Conference data contains:
Conference 11<->FIDO area BBS-NEWS (Exported to 256/27) Mark Sent=TRUE
Conference 12<->FIDO area BUY (Exported to 256/27) Mark Sent=FALSE
Conference 13<->FIDO area COMMS (Exported to 256/27) Mark Sent=FALSE
Conference 14<->FIDO area GAMING (Exported to 256/27) Mark Sent=FALSE
Conference 15<->FIDO area HARDWARE (Exported to 256/27) Mark Sent=FALSE
( Conference 11 is re-exported to 256/27 and will NOT be re-exported.
Conferences 12 to 15 are re-exported to 256/27 and WILL be re-exported.)
DFCFG.003 Conference data contains:
Conference 12<->FIDO area BUY (Exported to 256/90) Mark Sent=TRUE
Conference 13<->FIDO area COMMS (Exported to 256/90) Mark Sent=TRUE
Conference 14<->FIDO area GAMING (Exported to 256/90) Mark Sent=TRUE
Conference 15<->FIDO area HARDWARE (Exported to 256/90) Mark Sent=TRUE
( Conferences 12 to 15 are re-exported to 256/90 and will NOT be
re-exported.)
The export portion of the batch file will look like this:
CD\DOG
DFEXPORT L DFCFG.001
DFEXPORT L DFCFG.002
DFEXPORT L DFCFG.003
