Introduction
WritePCB is simply a text file importation program for PCBoard 14.5.
It will allow you to import a text file the size of a PCBoard Message.
WritePCB does not require much room and can therefore be run through
virtually any shell. It allows you to specify everything you need on
the command line.
Unlike most of the other Shareware packages around, this program does
not display fancy screens while importing messages or make weird noises.
The onlt time you will hear a weird noise is when you do have a
registration key or your key has expired. The only thing you will see on
the screen is the copyright, your name, and the registration status.
If you have not registered WritePCB you will see the following message
appear at the end of each message:
Imported by UNREGISTERED VERSION of WritePCB
Once you have registered, or during the time of your demo, this message
will not appear.
Command line Parameters:
Parameter 1: The name/path of the text file you wish to import.
Parameter 2: The Name of the person the message is addressed to.
If there are spaces between names replace them with
an underscore, '_'.
(25 Chars Max)
Parameter 3: The Name of the person sending the message.
If there are spaces between names replace them with
an underscore, '_'.
(25 Chars Max)
Parameter 4: The subject of the message
If there are spaces between names replace them with
an underscore, '_'.
(25 Chars Max)
Parameter 5: A password for the message, if you do not wish to assign a
password enter NONE.
(12 Chars Max)
Parameter 6: This parameter will contain up to 2 of the following
Characters:
E : Specifies the message is to be echoed.
This character can be combined with any
of the others.
You may only use one of the following Characters.
* : Makes the message private
- : Makes the message public
% : assigns a password that will only allow the
person sending the message to delete this
message. (SysOps excluded of course)
! : assigns a group password that will only allow
a member of that group to read or delete this
message. (SysOps excluded of course)
Parameter 7: This is the number of the conference you wish to import the
message into.
Parameter 8: This is the path to your cnames file.
!!!! DO NOT PUT A SLASH ON THE END !!!!!!!!!!
Examples:
WRITEPCB IMPORT.DOC JOE_BLOW TOM_THAYER GO_FOR_IT CHUGALUG E% 0
- This will import the file IMPORT.DOC into the message base 0, address the
message to JOE BLOW, address the message from TOM THAYER, give the message
a subject of GO FOR IT, mark the message as Echo mail, and assign a sender
only password of CHUGALUG.
WRITEPCB C:\DOS\IMPORT.DOC SYSOP SYSOP GO_FOR_IT NONE - 127
- This will import the file IMPORT.DOC into the message base 127, address the
message to SYSOP, address the message from SYSOP, give the message
a subject of GO FOR IT, and mark the message as public.
Pretty easy eh?
