A WildCat BBS System!
Program OverView :
FastFwd is a utility which will allow a WildCat BBS system which
utilizes WildMail and AreaFix to accept AreaFix RESCAN requests
from downlinks. This allows new downlinks to receive any existing
messages in your WildCat database. This documentation is not meant
to serve as a WildMail or AreaFix tutorial.
Program Setup :
1. Copy the FastFwd.Exe program to a directory pointed to in your
PATH statement.
2. Make the following modification to your AreaFix.Ctl (or equivalent)
file:
UNCOMMENT the line QUICKBBSRESCANLIST and modify it to look like this :
"QUICKBBSRESCANLIST FAST.BAT" (without the quotes)
3. Make sure AreaFix is correctly configured to allow rescans.
4. Modify the procedure used to toss incoming mail (whether it is a
batch file or is contained in the same batch file that calls your
mailer). The order in which you call your utilities should be as
follows :
AreaFix
Fast.Bat
WildMail
An Example InMail.Bat file might look like this :
-------------------------------
@ECHO OFF
C:
cd \db
If Exist nomail goto end
echo .>nomail
CLS
Set WCNODEID=4
areafix EC
If Exist Fast.Bat Call Fast.Bat
WM Toss
del nomail
echo .>c:\db\dbridge.rse
:END
-------------------------------
All Rescans are noted and time/date stamped in the file
FASTFWD.LOG which will be written in the directory from which
FASTFWD.EXE is executed.
Program Support :
Registered user support is provided via BIOS II BBS. See the
number above.
Support for Non-Registered users is provided on an as-time-allows
basis via the same BBS.
Product Disclaimer :
Although I have had extremely successful operation out of
FastFwd, I cannot, and do not, accept any responsibilty for
any harm which may result out of your use/misuse of this
program. All I can assure you of is that FastFwd will occupy
a few thousand Bytes of disk space!
