Here is the down and dirty!
What it is.
------------
HTCH.EXE was written so that HUBS can share the PLANET.ZIP files
with other fido nodes. What HTCH.EXE does, is creates a netmail
message with that file attached.
Correct Usage
-------------
This is a small rewrite of what I had before. Now you can specify
any file to be hatched and have multiple downlink ????.CFG files!
Here is a sample :
HTCH PCSTOK.CFG d:\im\files\pcstok*.* /k
^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| |
| |This is the filename to hatch.
|
|This is your downlink configuration file.
With the above, the parameters you specify *MUST* be in this order!
1 : CFG file to use to send the files to.
2 : Filename to hatch. Dos wildcards are valid.
After these two in that order you may add the additional parameters
listed in the next section.
Additional Command Line Parameters.
-------------------------
There are currently only two recognized options.
/K - Kill the PLANET.ZIP file in the Satellite Directory after
processing.
/H - When creating the netmail file attachment, this option will
cause HATCH.EXE to put that on hold for all nodes. The
default is for your system to crash it your downlinks.
*.CFG Files
------------
BOSS.CFG - This is the config file to configure your node.
This should contain 5 lines, all others are ignored.
1 - Sysops Name
2 - Your Zone #
3 - Your Net #
4 - Your Node #
5 - Your Point.
?????.CFG - This is the config file to configure your downlink
nodes.
The first line should be the # of systems that you
plan to feed. The rest of the file should contain
the following information about each downlink system.
There should be 5 lines per system!
1 - Sysops Name
2 - Zone #
3 - Net #
4 - Node #
5 - Point.
New in this version, this can be any valid name that
you specify on the command line. (see above)
HTCH.CFG - This file configures your paths. Thus, every entry
should contain a complete, drive letter, path,
and don't forget the trailing backslash! Here is what
is within this file.
1 - Outbound Packets/File Attachment Directory.
2 - Front End Mailer Netmail Directory.
All other lines are ignored.
Notes.
-------
I know this file is brief, but if you have any questions, just
ask! Netmail is the best way to do it, but I probably won't
crash you your reply. Just poll back for it within 24 hours.
I'm usually around nightly from 10pm-1am to work on the bbs.
