- Pass 'Em Thru!
- -------------
- SHAREWARE $10.00
- Please support the shareware products so more can be produced.
- It's not a type of software but a method of distribution.
-
- This is a Tabby event utility.
- I am the NEC of our net. I have to pass on LOTS of echos to other nodes
- in our net. This means that there are many echos that I have to import
- to my BBS software due to the lack of 'pass-thru' support in the current
- version of Tabby. It takes up importing time, a chunk of disk space, and
- the 'effort' it takes to set up and maintain these areas on the BBS.
-
- If any of this sounds familiar to you, you need Pass 'Em Thru!
- All it requires you to do is: Tell it where your Tabby and Generic folders
- are located, enter the number for each of the echos you want 'passed thru'
- into a text file, and insert the program name into your Tabby events any
- place you are running Deliver Mail.
-
- I think that pass thru will be included in the upcoming version of Tabby.
- If not, this utility should still work with Tabby 3.0 even with the message
- format changes, if not, there's always 'Pass 'Em Thru II'.
-
- This program will let you receive echos for other that you want to send
- on to other BBSs or Points without having to import these echo messages
- into your BBS.
-
-
- A Log of Pass 'Em Thru activities will be maintained in the TABBY LOG.
- Pass 'Em Thru has a max. limit of 199 pass-thru echos.
-
- How to set Pass 'em Thru up.
- --------------------------
- Place the Pass 'Em Thru program in the folder that contains the TabbyNet,
- other Tabby applications, and your BBS program.
-
- Create a text file, located in your TABBY folder, named PTHRUNUMBERS.
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- In this file you need to enter the area numbers of the echos that you want
- to have passed thru (not imported into your BBS). The entry must be in
- the exact following format. (see example file included)
-
- Enter 1 area number per line and press RETURN after the number.
- There MUST NOT be any empty lines.
- After you enter the last pass thru area number and press return,
- save the file.
- (The cursor in the text editor will be sitting on the blank line following
- the last pass thru area number at position 0)
-
- You now must tell Pass 'Em Thru where your Tabby folder and the
- Generic folder (tabbymail or what ever you have named it. It's the
- folder that contains the generic import and generic export files)
- are located.
- Open Pass 'Em Thru with ResEdit.
- Double-Click on the STR resource icon.
- Double-Click on STRING ID# 3000.
- This contains the partial pathway to your Generic Folder.
- It must contain a colon (:) preceding the folder name.
- Examples = :GENERIC
- or :Tabbymail
- Use whatever name you are using for this folder.
- After you have entered this information, close that window.
-
- Double-Click on the STRING ID #4000.
- This contains the partial pathway to your TABBY folder.
- It must contain a colon (:) preceding the folder name.
- Example = :TABBY
- After you have entered this information, close that window.
-
- Quit ResEdit and choose to SAVE when you are presented the dialog box.
-
- Insert Pass 'Em Thru *all* event chains after TabbyNet Deliver Mail.
- (It doesn't have to immediatly follow DeliverMail but it must be placed after
- DeliverMail and before the name of your BBS program.)
- Change TabbyNet events with Tabby Maint and use ResEdit to modify
- TabbyNet (STR 305) and Tabby Robot (STR# 301).
-
-
- (TabbyNet will choke if your event lists get too long, so you might want
- to abbreviate Pass 'Em Thru to PET -- remember to change the application name
- if you do!)
-
- That is all. Engage!
