Binkleyterm "Demand packing" method courtesy of David Keating. This can be
used for callers with mailers that are true points, but use XRS to read their
mail. It immediately packs all mail waiting for the user in "real time",
eliminating the need (and space required) for prepacking mail entirely.
=====
Send a file request which contains the single line
"getmail FistName LastName".
When the system receives this REQ, it finds the line "+getmail" in its OKFILE
It then runs Getmail.bat, which is set up thus:
cd \bbs\node1
packbags %1 %2
cd \binkley
please send #C:\xrsbags\*.* to %4/%5 now
Variable 4 and 5 are added automatically by Binkley when it gets the function
request.
=====
Unfortunately, BT on the sending side (the caller or user - not the BBS) will
timeout before PackBags can "do its thing" and finish (it will never wait for
more than 10 seconds...). I have a special patched version of BT250.EXE here
if anyone is interested in trying this - BT250.EXE (which I hacked together
with Bob's permission) waits 5 minutes before the "Z-Modem Init Receive" wait
times out. Please get in touch with me netmail at 372/6666...
