-
- There aer more programs that can do the job (like Ufgate) but Fredgate can do
- the job OK... The format is more universal (Ufgate produces seperate .msg
- files, where fredgate produces .pkt files....)
-
- I strongly recommend to het your hands on version 18, because it has more docs
- included! Then, get your hands one version 19J (later versions (up to M) seem
- to be buggy.... They do not support any major extrea features either (I'm still
- waiting for the 'sendertype' feature to be implemented 100% :-(( ) (Now you
- have to map EACH point explicitely to let it produce a nice sender-adress
- instead of a f*cked up fido-style adress.. I've written a util for myself to
- facilitate this... (it tracks all writers in the pkt'files, then puts
- fidomap0statements in fred's config-file for them (multi-node support), So I
- don;t have to map them manually (which is quite comfortable with more than onde
- node...). If there are any ppl interested in testing this, feel free to mail me
- ! I'll send you the program to be tested...))
-
- Back to your problem: the comments in the config.fil will help, together with
- the docs that go with version 18 (it's a complete mystery to me why they're not
- included in version 19)... If you still have trouble, mail me your setup and
- your vital info and I'll have a look at it....
-
- Good Luck !

- Michel.
