PVT2P ( Private local mail to your points )
(c) 1990 by Thomas Dobusch 2:507/8 in FidoNet
---------- Whats new 2.11 ----------
A bug was fixed that sometimes moved a lot of messages into
your netmailboards.
---------- Whats new 2.10 ----------
You can force PVT2P to set the CRASH-Bit of the messages it will
move to USERS.
It is possible to set this bit different for every user you have
defined in your CFG-file.
---------- Whats new 2.00 ----------
You now can use a USER statement in the CFG-file.
In this case PVT2P will move all private mail not only to your
points but also to the users declared in the controlfile.
It would be a good idea to write the names of the Sysops polling
your system into this file so that their private mail will be
sent to their own system.
Another idea is if for example you are at holidays visiting
another Fidosysop.
You can write your name into the controlfile with the nodenumber
of the sysop you are visiting.
In this case all private mail written to you locally on your
system will be routed to the system of your friend and you can
read and answere it.
PVT2P V 1.0 sometimes halted with the Runtime-Error 2 when it
could'nt find one of the files
MSGHDR.BBS
MSGIDX.BBS
MSGINFO.BBS
Now it will halt with an ERRORLEVEL and a small message about
what file it wasn't able to find:
MSGHDR.BBS = ERRROLEVEL 1
MSGIDX.BBS = ERRROLEVEL 2
MSGINFO.BBS = ERRROLEVEL 3
---------- Whats new 1.10 ----------
PVT2P now creates a logfile where you can see what has happened,
if you write the configword LOGFILE and the name of the logfile that
PVT2P should create into your PVT2P.CFG, this name will be used,
otherwise no logfile will be written.
-------------------------------------
I had the idea to give a full pointsupport to my points.
So I created this small program which looks into your local private
RA-BBS-Board and moves the messages written to your points into RA's
Netmailboard.
It run's very fast on my BBS so why not on your's?
PVT2P need's for example about 10 s to scan a messagebase of about 5 MB
stuff.
The only thing you have to do is to change the PVT2P.CFG and run the
program once a day.
If there are any bugs on this program (I hope there will be no!)
please write me a small mail and I will fix it.
-------------------------------------
IMPORTANT!!!!!
If you don't run PVT2P from your RA-Dir you will have to set the
environment variable RA like
SET RA=C:\RA
Otherwise PVT2P will search in the current directory for the
messagebase and stop with one of the errorlevels I told you
before.
