- Enclosed you will find a detailed ScanFile.Bat that uses POSTMSTR by
- Dave Cody to send messages to users after upload. This feature will
- soon be internal in TranScan, but I thought I would give you an
- opportunity to experiment a little.
-
- Copy the *.imp files to your MSG directory.
-
- You will need to edit the messages to fit your tastes.
-
- Make sure you edit the ScanFile.Bat file, too. You will need to edit
- the paths primarily so that they can find the *.imp files and also
- the TranScan.Err file.
-
- Let me explain about the line that reads:
-
- IF "%THANKED%"=="YES" GOTO end
-
- and
-
- SET THANKED=YES
-
- If you run Wildcat "M" (Multi Line), "IM" (DIGI), or "P" (Professional)
- add the following line to each batch file just before wildcat is run:
-
- SET THANKED=NO
-
- If you run Wildcat "S" (Single Line) add the following in your CAT.BAT
- just before wildcat is run:
-
- SET THANKED=NO
-
- You will also need to add this to your POSTCALL.BAT and activate this
- feature.
-
- What this does is allow the batch file to determine if a message has
- already been sent once to this user after an upload. If it has it does not
- send another. In this way, a guy that uploads one file will bet one
- message. A guy that loads 30 files will also get one message.
-
- You might think that it would be better to add just one SET THANKED=NO
- to your CONFIG.SYS file. No, it wouldn't because if you are running
- MultiNode other nodes will be able to turn this flag on and off.
-
- What if you don't add it? Do you need to remove those lines? No. The
- batch file will report Environment not found or something but it isn't
- a problem.
-
- Let me know what you think.
