Introduction to FIDOGATE

FIDOGATE is a Fido-Internet gateway and a Fido tosser. It is placed under the GNU General Public License, see COPYING for details.

The gateway converts between the worlds of Fido NetMail/EchoMail (or FTNs, Fido Technology Networks in general) and the UNIX mail/news system. FIDOGATE will convert Fido mail packets to RFC822/1036-style messages and vice versa.

FIDOGATE also includes a complete FIDO mail processor (NetMail/EchoMail scanner and tosser), an FTN-FTN gateway (NetMail only), a file processor (TIC file areas) and an Areafix/Filefix.

Credits

This stuff is a derived version of a posting called rfmail to Usenet's alt.sources some time ago. I rewrote the entire code by now.

The original rfmail authors were: Teemu Torma, who wrote the first version, and Heikki Suonsivu, who did some changes and improvements and posted version 0.3.3 to the net.

Also used:

The parsedate.y date/time parser, from INN 1.4:

Originally written by Steven M. Bellovin <smb@research.att.com> while
at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.  Later tweaked by
a couple of people on Usenet.  Completely overhauled by Rich $alz
<rsalz@osf.org> and Jim Berets <jberets@bbn.com> in August, 1990.
Further revised (removed obsolete constructs and cleaned up timezone
names) in August, 1991, by Rich.  Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com>
helped in September, 1992.

(Changed slightly and adopted for FIDOGATE)

The xstrtok() function:

16/10/1991      Wolfram Roesler         wr@bara.oche.de

GNU getopt.

The wildmat() function from GNU tar, modified and adopted for FIDOGATE.
