-
- ARCHIE by Email is only 1 in a series of PCBoard PPE's I have
- written. The purpose of these PPE's is to give a Sysop who can't
- afford a direct internet connection, a way to supply his or her
- users with some internet services. Right now I have 3 PPE's in the
- series. World Wide Web by Email, FTP by Email and ARCHIE by Email.
-
- Installing the ppe is easy.
-
- Step 1:
-
- Create a directory and unzip ARCHIE.ZIP
- example
- md c:\pcb\ppe\archie
- cd c:\pcb\ppe\archie
- pkunzip archie.zip
-
- Step 2:
-
- Install the file archie.ppe as a command in PCBoards CMD.LST file!
-
- Load the PCBoard Setup Program
-
- Choose option B, File Locations
-
- Choose option B, Configuration Files
-
- The 8th file down is CMD.LST file, press F2 to edit it.
-
- You now are in the CMD.LST Editor
-
- Insert a new command line by pressint ALT-I
-
- Add the command as such:
- Charges per PPE/MNU File specification -or-
- Command Sec Minute Use KeystrokeSubstitution
- ══════════════ ═══ ═════════════════ ═════════════════════════════════
- ARCHIE 0 0 0 C:\PCB\PPE\ARCHIE\ARCHIE.PPE
-
- Step 3:
-
- Using either PCBEDIT or DOS EDIT, Edit the file called "ARCHIE.CFG"
- This file contains the number of your internet email conference.
- For example my internet email conference is 5, so my ARCHIE.CFG file
- contains the number 5 in it.
-
- Step 4:
-
- Edit your menu file to reflect that a new command has been added.
-
- That's it! Your users may now start entering URL's.
-
-
- How does it work?
-
- It's simple. A user enters a SEARCH STRING like "toy". A email request is
- sent to an ARCHIE Email server. Then when your next UUCP event occurs, the
- email is sent to the server. By the time your next UUCP event occurs, the
- user should have an email response with the HOST NAMES, UNIX DIRECTORY, AND
- FILE NAME telling them where files exist that contain the string "toy".
- (Using this information, and the FTP PPE, it's just plug it into the FTP
- By Email and you will actually get the file!)
