TICKET V1.20 By Paul West
Copyright (c) 1989 by Paul J. West, All Rights Reserved.
Compiled using Turbo Pascal Version 4.0 By Borland International
TICKET is not guaranteed to do anything inparticular. As far as
I know it could turn your 160 meg super hard disk into a 320K
floppy. However I've done what I can to make sure it at least
works here on my system. Use it at your own risk. No warranty is
stated or implied. The author shall not be responsible for any
damages resulting from it's use, directly or indirectly.
TICKET is distributed as a Freely Available Copyrighted Program,
no fee may be charged for distribution and the distribution
archive may not be tampered with or altered in ANY way. It may be
repackaged using a different archival method as long as the
contents of the archive are the same as that of the distribution
archive.
AT NO TIME are files to be added to the archive that were not in
the original distribution archive. This includes Archive
Comments.
Modified Source code may NOT be distributed. If you are planning
on porting the code to another operating system, or have code
changes that you think are highly beneficial, then please contact
the author directly for assistance or guidance.
The Author may be contacted at FidoNet Node 1:343/27.0 If you have
problems or incompatibilities with files generated by a
particular system, please contact me. I will do what I can to
fix any problems.
What TICKET does:
TICKET announces the arrival of files at sites using FLEA, TICK or
other compatable software, as in FidoNets SDS Network or
SDNet/Works. It creates a message in the message area of your
choice, listing the File Area Name, Filename, Filesize, Filedate,
Origin, and Description.
TICKET should be run BEFORE running FLEA or TICK. It depends on
the incoming .FLE or .TIC files along with the files to be in your
inbound directory.
USAGE
TICKET options
OPTIONS:
-Mmessagepath - Directory to place Message
# No Longer needed if message is to be a
# Netmail message AND you have your NETMAIL
# path defined in TIC.CFG
-Tuser_name - Address Message to User
-Nzone:net/node - For Netmail - Send to address
# You may specify as many addresses as you wish
# by using the -N command multiple times.
# -N*tagname - Uses a file called PLEASE.ALL for a list
# of nodes to send the message to. Please
# consult your PLEASE manual for the proper
# format of this file. If you wish you can
# specify as many Tags as you wish by using
# this command multiple times
-Ffrom_Name - To fill in the From Field
-Aareaname - Only process files in this FILE area You
# can now specify as many areas as you want on
# the command line
#
-Iinboundpath - Overide inbound area in TIC.CFG
-Ssubjectline - Overides the default subject line
-P - Mark message as PRIVATE
-K - Mark message as KILL-SENT
-Q - Quite mode - No screen output
# -Llogfile - Create a logfile of files received
Stores filenames, Filedates, Size, Areaname
and file description.
# -Z - Use ZoneGates for InterZone Netmail Messages
Spaces MUST be replaced by the underline character and there must
NOT be a space between the command and it's parameter.
Ticket also requires a configuration file to get certain required
parameters. To make things easy, it will read your existing
TIC.CFG file if you already use TICK. If not you should create a
file called TIC.CFG. TICKET will work on systems that use programs
other than TICK, however you will need to create the TIC.CFG file.
The Following parameters are REQUIRED!
IN C:\Inbound - Your inbound directory where both
the FLEA or TICK files and the
inbound files are located.
ZONE 1 C:\Outbound - These three parameters are used to
NET 343 determine your matrix address.
NODE 27
# OPTIONAL
#
# NETMAIL C:\Netmail - The Default Message path
# Used if no path is specified on
# the command line.
# VERSION 1.10 Note
#
# Note that a bug has been fixed in the code that determines your
# address. Version 1.0 used the LAST Zone statement to determine
# the proper zone number. This was NOT consistant with the way TICK
# works and caused some problems on some Multi-Zone systems. If you
# rearranged your TIC.CFG file to compensate for this bug, you will
# want to put it back the way it belongs since the FIRST zone
# statement is now used.
If the area TICKET creates a message for is an ECHOMAIL area and
contains an ORIGIN file, an Origin line will automatically be
appended to your message. It will NOT look at your Areas.BBS for
the Default origin line. If fact, the presence of an ORIGIN file,
is the only way TICKET knows that this area is an ECHO area. This
file is not required, as your mail processor should add an origin
line when exporting mail, if one is not already there.
Here is an example from the Batch file on MY system
:SDS
TICKET -MG:\Area\Net343 -TNet_343_Sysops -SSDS_Files_Received
TICKET -MF:\General -P -TPaul_West
TICKET -MF:\Netmail -N1:343/100 -P -K -TBill_Castle
TICKET -MF:\NetMail -N1:343/36 -P -K -TMike_Zakharoff -ASDSRBBS
