So whats this one supposed to do and how do I make it do it?
Well the basic idea is to be able to keep your board up to date with the
constantly changing network files, like the NODE and ECHO lists.
Using the program is pretty easy, all you have to do is to run it on a
regular basis somewhere in one of your maintainance batch files, it must
be run once a day only.
The Command Line:
OBNODE <net/node> <requestday> <distday> <requestfile> <disfile>
│ │ │ │ │
│ │ └────────┐ └───────┐ └────────┐
│ │ │ This is the name │
│ └─────────────────┐ │ of the file to │
┌───────┘ │ │ request e.g. │
This is the Net/Node number │ │ NODELIST.ZIP │
of the node that carries the latest │ │ │
versions of your node & echo lists. │ │ │
│ │ │
│ │ ┌───────────┘
│ │ Finally the name of
┌────────────────────────┘ │ the file that you wish to
This is the day of the month that you │ distribute into GTPATH
request the file on. │ e.g. if you are requesting
│ the nodelist then the file
┌────────────────────────────┘ to distribute will be
The day of the month to distribute the file NODELIST.BBS
on, this must at least allow time for the file
to arrive on the system after the request day,
the request and distribute days must not match.
So therefore my command line in my nightly batch file will say :-
OBNODE 50/1 1 2 NODELIST.ZIP NODELIST.BBS
On day one of the month I request NODELIST.ZIP from Terry Dansey at
050/001 and then distribute the file NODELIST.BBS into GTPATH on day
number two of the month.
The program will also copy a duplicate of the file into
\MAILOUT\FILEOUT and make it available to others who need it.
