Gthe sheer zestful vitality of the place, or maybe it's just that a city

Fido AKA's Global Helpƒ
,A fido address consists of at most 5 parts :

!      zone:net/node.point@@domain

.Valid combinations are:              Examples:

>      zone:net/node.point@@domain      2:512/17.6@@fidonet.org
<      zone:net/node@@domain            2:512/17@@fidonet.org
.      zone:net/node                   2:512/17

CFor compatibility with older Fidonet Technology programs that don't
Dunderstand points, you can optionally specify a fakenet. For example
Iif you are 2:512/17, and specify 1017 as your fakenet, mail from 2:1017/6
'is internally converted into 2:512/17.6

IPlease contact your network coordinator for information on your network's
policy on fakenet numbers.├
@When this options is set to YES, WaterGate will search the start
?of the netmail message for header lines that can be copied into
the mail or news message.

@You can for example put a "Reply-To: user@@somewhere.com" at the
Abeginning of the netmail message. This header will then be copied
<into the UUCP style message. Notice that @if@ you have a To:
?header in the netmail, that it should be place before all other
headers!

9You can normally leave this option set to YES, unless you
<experience problems or you don't want your users to use this
option.

AWaterGate stops search from headers at the first empty line or an
7non-valid header. Headers have to have be of the format
"<word>: <text>".ó
ASelect the Fido address you want to use for gatwaying messages to
Eand from Usenet. Gated Echomail messages originate from this address,
Eand netmail messages destined for your Gateway user must be addressed
to this address.

FThe default setting is "@UUCP@", most commonly used by other programs.
9Other often used settings are "@Gateway@" and "@Usenet@".

2Press #PgDn# for information on the @Gateway User@&%
ASelect the "user" you want to use for converting messages between
?Fido and UUCP. Messages sent to a UUCP site must be destined to
?this user. The actual destination address must be placed in the
first line of the message.

Example of a netmail message:

#  From: John Doe          2:512/301

1Press #PgUp# for information on the @Gateway AKA@# ┌
ESet this option to YES if you want WaterGate to scan if the TO: field
Gof a Fido message to the UUCP GateWay contains a fully qualified domain
Faddress. This may not always be possible, because a domain address may
Ebe longer longer than the maximum length of a Fidonet TO: field. When
Fthis is the case, you can still use 'normal' way of putting the domain
'address on the first line of a message.

The following are equivalent:

' From: Jaap Aap               2:280/803
( To  : jaap@@aap.nl            2:280/802

=If you want to reply to a netmail that is a gated UUCP e-mail
=message, you need to know the correct address. If your editor
>supports FSC-35 kludges, replying becomes very easy and almost
automatic.

   REPLYTO     2:280/802 UUCP
   REPLYADDR   jaap@@aap.nl
Ñ
GThe name separator is used when converting usernames from Fido to UUCP,
Cfor example when using the default separator the underscore, '#_#':

'@Jaap Aap@ is converted into @Jaap_Aap@

DAnother character often used by gateway programs is the dot, '#.#' .
HBut this character is often used by users on systems that do not support
Fmultiple parts in a lastname, reconstructing their name could go wrong
because of this.C
CSince your gateway isn't going to move anywhere far, filling in the
Bentire Fido address each time a netmail message passes through the
Agate from an unknown system is really unnecessary. Instead, using
Athe small addresses you send only the parts that differ from your
own system.

GFor example: @2:280/908@ sends a message to the gateway at @2:280/802@,
Gthese systems only differ in their node numbers. So WaterGate adds only
'that information to its gateway domain:

'    #joe_user@@f908.gateway.network.nl#

Instead of creating:

/    #joe_user@@f908.n280.z2.gateway.network.nl#

CWhen someone writes a reply to that message, the program will merge
Cthe found @'f908'@ into its own address, thereby reconstructing the
Aoriginal address. Of course, someone can still reply to a message
#using the full fido munged address.½
8If this option is set the Yes, all netmail that has been
.gated to UUCP will be deleted afterwards. This
6corresponds to setting the KillSent flag on a netmail.

6If one of your points or downlinks forgets to set this
5flag, your netmail area will fill up with these gated
	messages.

8If you use WaterGate in a point setup, you might want to
8leave this setting to NO and move all sent message to an
other (history) area.Q
<If your editor does not support FSC-35, you need to have the
>address writen down in the message somewhere, so you can reply
to the message.

<You can get the name of the sender in the From: field of the
>fido message. If this doesn't fit, it is automatically written
 down in the body of the message.

=If you have selected the From: header line from the e-mail to
;be written down in the body of the fido message anyway, you
=can also choose to have the Full Name of the e-mail sender to
;be put in the From: field of the fido message. You can also
$select this if you are using FSC-35.ª
AYou can specify up to 2 directories where WaterGate will look for
Aarrived (compressed) Fido mailbundles. If the entry is left empty
then the directory is ignored.ï
DToggle this option to ON if you want WaterGate to scan for passwords
Cin arrived Fido mailbundles. If set to NO then no checking is done.ß
FSpecify a directory where WaterGate will store its outgoing Fido mail-
Gbundles. WaterGate will refuse to operate if no directory is specified.

=BinkleyTerm 2.50+ 5D outbound directories are fully supported

by WaterGate.░
IAn Origin line is added to every message exported from your local message
Gbase that didn't have one already. They are also added to messages that
Gare converted from UUCP to Fidonet. You can assign a custom origin line
Eto every different message area, or choose one you have entered here.

)If you enter: The Power of no imagination

$WaterGate will export the following:

ß
BWaterGate currently supports @BINKLEY@, @FRONTDOOR@ and @D'BRIDGE@
>compatible systems. If you use a Frontdoor system then you are
*forced to use a @*.MSG@ netmail directory.

A @BINKLEY@    systems use flag files in the outbound directory to
B            indicate that there is mail ready for a certain system
; @FRONTDOOR@  systems write netmail messages, with attached
&            files for a certain system
A @D'BRIDGE@   systems use a special queue path for outgoing filesr
>The #D'Bridge# queue path is used to store the general purpose
0outbound queue files used by #D'Bridge# systems.L
DThe #Rescan flag file# usualy points to your @mailer@ directory, and
Ais used to notify your mailer of additions to the outgoing files.

BYou have to enter the complete path plus the rescan flag filename.
There are standard flag files:

 @FrontDoor@  #FDRESCAN.NOW#
 @InterMail@  #IMRESCAN.NOW#
 @D'Bridge@   #DBRIDGE.RSN#

?Because a lot of the older Fido messages processors and editors
Aare limited in the maximum size of the messages they can process,
Eyou can enter a maximum size. WaterGate will split oversized messages
into smaller parts.

CYou can enter separate settings for the #*.MSG#, #JAM# and #Squish#
Bmessage base formats. Use @0@ to prevent messages from being split
into pieces.

?The maximum size of messages that are exported into *.PKT files
is the same as for *.MSG files.

!The default value is 12000 bytes.¼
GNewly created Fido users are connected by the default to the groups you
Iselect here. Of course you can can re-assign a user to any group you want
using the user editor.Q
EWhen converting messages from UUCP format into Fido format, WaterGate
Aconverts the information stored in the UUCP headers into a format
Ereadable by Fido systems. Optionally, it also copies some of the UUCP
Bheader lines to the beginning of the Fido message. Use this option
:to select which fields you want to keep in a Fido message.n
<Select the UUCP fields you want to keep in the newly created
AFido messages. The selected fields can be copied to the beginning
Bof a Fido message as normal text, or as kludges that can be hidden
>by the editor, so you can pop them up if you want to see them.

AYou can enter the name of the UUCP header line you want to search
?for in the left column. These are always one word and WaterGate
?searches for them #with a space appended#. This way the keyword
+@From@ won't match both @From@ and @From:@.

<Some of the most common keywords have been filled in for you
/already. You can change them to your own needs.

<In the right side column you can set the way the header line
?is handled. If it is on @NOT@, it is not searched for. If it is
@on @KLUDGE@, it is put in the fido message as a ^A line and when
?you select the last option @TEXT@, it is just copied untouched.z
!A message is considered @bad@ if:

. 1) It is in an area the user has no access to
! 2) It is send in an unknown area
Σ
FIf you want WaterGate to link messages in areas that received new mail
Dduring a run, set this option to YES. If you run WaterGate often you
Gprobably save time by setting this option to NO, and run @WtrUtil LINK@
once a day.
HToggle this option to YES if you want WaterGate to strip @SEEN-BY@ lines
@from the messages that are imported into you local message base.
IPlease note that re-sending messages without their proper @SEEN-BY@ lines
3is considered a capital crime in a lot of networks.$
AIf you want WaterGate to replace tearlines from locally generated
>messages with its own, toggle this option to ON. Tearlines are
8also added to messages converted from UUCP into Fidonet.

@Note: For the @unregistered@ users of WaterGate, this setting is

EThe default number of messages that are kept in a local message base.
IThis number is used when new areas are created. Use @0@ if you don't want
to remove messages by number.«
EThe default number of days a message is kept in a local message base.
IThis number is used when new areas are created. Use @0@ if you don't want
to remove messages by age.▀
CSelect the type of message base you want to use for storing netmail
Gmessages. You should normaly set this to @*.MSG@ for compatibility with
Cother programs. If you set the mailer type to @FRONTDOOR@ this must
be @*.MSG@⌠
EA directory pointing to your netmail directory, or if you don't use a
G@*.MSG@ base type a full path (without extension!) to the netmail base.

	Examples:

' C:\BBS\NETMAIL\       for a *.MSG base
( C:\BBS\MSGBASE\NET    for a Squish base
╔
GSelect the type of base for your @Bad@ messages, if your message editor
Gis capable of reading Squish areas you might want to set this option to
BSQUISH because this base type is capable of removing messages that
Dexceed the maximum set for an area. This way your system won't drown
:in bad messages if large numbers of messages are received.

>If you don't want to store bad messages, select the NONE type.

'Press #PgUp# for @Help on Bad Messages@#9
DThis should be a full path to a directory for the @*.MSG@ base type,

AThe @Passive@ variable is set by WaterGate when there is only one
?link left after a user disconnects from a #passthough# area. It
?will then try to disconnect the area from the uplink by sending
5an @Areafix@ message. The area itself is not removed.

?When one of your downlinks connects to the area, your uplink is
@notified that it should reconnect the area, and the passive flag
	is reset.

7this area from your uplink set @Allow Passive@ to #NO#.»
=When set to ON IMPORT, WaterGate checks if a message contains
;an enclosed file. If so, it extracts the file, writes it to
?disk and attaches it to the message. Instead of the file a line
<like "Decoded enclosed file: ****" is written in the body of
1the message on the location of the enclosed file.

<WaterGate can automatically detect and decode enclosed files
;which have been encoded using UU-encode, XX-encode and MIME
3encapsulation of the type application/octet-stream.

<Notice that extracting files is only done when importing the
?message into a message base. Not when passing the message along
to other systems.

3Press #PgDn# for more information on encoded files.&i┐
<Fill in the path where you want WaterGate to store extracted
<files. This way you can define different paths for different
areas.

3Press #PgDn# for more information on encoded files.&i?
AIt is normally not possible to transfer binary (8-bit) files over
Cthe Internet. A special encoding scheme must be used to enclose the
Bfile in the body of a text message. This encoding is normally done
Dby taking 3 bytes (24 bits) from the binary file and storing this as
Cfour times 6 bits, encoded using a special series of 64 characters.

4A UU-encoded file in a message would look like this:

@begin 644 wtrgate.zip@
?@M4$L#!!0````(`,&Z;"`F&:(\YQA```E.```*````1D0R1E10+D1/0^T\77,;@
?@M1W+O5W=5^0DMYNI$ND#P2Y0M)I<[?H`2SQ2I$ZA37<HOA]T!,,7=&7AFEA#R@
...

@WaterGate can both encode an attached file into this format when
?gating a message from Fidonet to UUCP format and it detects and
>automatically decodes files for certain users when gating from
@UUCP to Fidonet format or when importing messages into a message
base.½

*Press #PgUp# for @Help on UUCP forwarding@#6É
EThis system accepts newsfix requests (from UUCP style users) via this
Gusername on one of this systems' domains. The name is case-insensitive.╥
7When a new newsgroup is requested from the UUCP uplink,
7an area record is created and the area is automatically
put in the given group.
5The user requesting the area must have access to this
group as well.M
+Use this menu to make changes to a field in
all the selected area records.└
HSelect the type for these areas. An area can be an #echomail#, #netmail#
or #local# newsgroup.

;   @ECHO@    The group is exported to all connected systems

I   @NET@     Messages in these areas are treated are netmail messages and
9           are transported to the correct matrix address.

I   @LOCAL@   A local group is not exported to any system, but by defining
G           it here you can use #WTRUTIL# to do maintenance on the area.
d
@Select the fidonet address to use for these areas, it is used to
 create the correct Origin lines.â
@The Origin AKA needs to be put in the SEEN-BY lines of the area.
<When editting one record, the list of AKAs that are added to
;the SEEN-BY lines is emptied, and the newly selected Origin
AKA is put in there instead.

BBut, if you have more than one AKA in that list, it is not desired
>to have it replaced completely. So, in this case, WtrConf just
?removes the old Origin AKA from that list and adds the new one,
leaving the rest in place.

BIf you desire to keep the old Origin AKA on that list, then select
ANo from the menu. WtrConf then just adds the new AKA. Notice that
:this is a means to globally edit the list of SEEN-BY AKAs.1
?Define a custom origin line for these area's. The custom origin
Eis not made active automaticaly, use the 'Change default origin line'
>option for this in either the global area change menu, or when
editing an area.

Example: Jumping Jack Flash !
2Result:  * Origin: Jumping Jack Flash ! (2:512/17)
├
ASelect the active origin line for these area's, you can choose to
=either select one of the two origin lines defined in the main
?configuration, or select the custom origin defined in the area.{

@The maximum number of messages that are kept within the selected
>areas. Use @0@ if you don't want to remove messages by number.└
JSelect the type of message base you want to use for these areas, or @NONE@
@if they are passthrough area's. For a complete discussion of the
0available message base types consult the manual.╪
;To simplify the process of moving your message areas, it is
9possible to search and replace directory entry's for more
>than a single area at a time. This option will @NOT@ physicaly
)move the message bases on your hard disk!

9To use this option, first enter the begin part of the old
!directory, and then the new path.

  Old: C:\MAIL\MSGBASE
  New: D:\MAIL\NEWBASE

=After entering this information, the program will compare the
=begin part of each of the selected areas, and replace it with
"the new information if it matched.

;  C:\MAIL\MSGBASE\JUMJUM    #──>#    D:\MAIL\NEWBASE\JUMJUM
7  C:\MAIL\MSGBASE\JUCK             D:\MAIL\NEWBASE\JUCK
