INTRODUCTION
Wremap was studied for people who use mailers which need fakenet
to manage points. It modifies NetMail messages from/to points by
changing destination or provenience, so that mailer can correctly
forward these messages.
This user manual supposes knowledge of basic operation concepts
of a Bbs or a Point; for these, please refer to the documentation
of mailers used for EchoMail transmission.
In no case the author shall be liable for data loss or whatever
damage related to WRemap use; no explicit or implied guarantee is
given on correct program operation, except for disk occupation.
Whoever uses WRemap and finds working problems, can report them
to 2:334/100.0 : time permitting, all of them will be answered.

EXECUTION
WRemap syntax is:
WREMAP [-AControl_File] [-F]
where Control_File is che complete path of the file containing
information necessary to execution; if not specified, WREMAP.CTL
will be used.
-F tells WRemap to modify also messages coming from points and
addressed to Bossnode, having as provenience the complete
4-dimension address (see below).
REMAPPING METHODS
1) Messages originated with fakeaddress
Remapping will be made if message is addressed to a node which
is neither Bossnode (or one of its AKA) or other BossNode
Point. Fakeaddress origin will be substituted with the four
dimension one.
2) Messages already with four dimension origin
Remapping will be made if destination node is BossNode (or one
of its AKA) and if switch -F is present in WRemat command
line. Four dimension origin will be substituted with
fakeaddress.
3) Messages originated from other nodes with receiver Bossnode
(or one of its AKA) or a BossNode Point
Remapping will be made if one of the following conditions
holds:
a) message has a Point as destination
b) message has Bossnode (or one of its AKA) as destination,
but receiver name is included in control file.
Four dimension origin will be substituted with fakeaddress.

In all remapping cases, all message flags will be resetted,
except for the following:
. Privileged
. KillSent
. In Transit
. ReturnReceiptRequest
. Received
In cases 1 and 3 flag "In Transit" will be moreover set.
Remapping procedure as in item 2 was introduced to let all
points, even those who send BossNode NetMail with four dimension
address, to use programs as Areafix (before version 1.20) which
recognise points only if fakeaddress is used. This procedure is
activated *only* in presence of -F switch in command line, and so
it is disabled by default.
Every remapped message will be reported both on video and in
logfile, is specified in control file.
CONTROL FILE
Control file used by WRemap is an Ascii file, whose name, if
different from WREMAP.CTL, has to be specified on command line
preceded by switch -A .
This file can be edited with a text editor; every line starting
with a semicolon (;) in first position is considered a comment
and skipped.
In the distribution archive is present an example file with
explanations for the various commands.
