- ! This is SPORT.RAW -- your SPORT Phone List Index File.
- !
- ! In the SPORT documentation this is often referred to as your
- ! IDX (InDeX) file. From inside SPORT you can edit this file
- ! by using the X command from the Utility Menu. Once you are
- ! familiar with this file you should eliminate the comment
- ! lines and other extraneous information you will not need.
- ! Using the SPORT Full Screen Editor you may have up to 100
- ! lines of information in this file.
- !
- ! Any line preceeded by an exclamation point is a comment line.
- ! This file requires a STRICT format in some parts and a free
- ! format in others. It is therefore IMPORTANT that you follow
- ! these guidelines exactly when editing the file. If you are
- ! editing this file outside of SPORT or the SPORT installation
- ! utility you will need to run SPREP after your edit to be sure
- ! the changes are known to SPORT.
- !
- ! Each Address/Phone List line contains the following elements,
- ! in the following order, beginning at column one:
- !
- ! 1. A Flash Message filename which SPORT can recognize as an
- ! outgoing message to send mail (required). The filename
- ! extension must always be ".FLS".
- ! 2. A comma with no intervening space (required).
- ! 3. The telephone number of the other system (required).
- ! 4. A semi-colon with no intervening space (required).
- ! 5. The baud rate of the other system (required);
- ! 6. Times when a system will accept calls (optional).
- ! 7. Any combination of special flags as outlined in the SPORT
- ! documentation (optional).
- ! 8. Comments (optional).
- !
- ! After you have made the three various entries you may use
- ! the remainder of the line (up to 75 characters in TOTAL) for
- ! any other information you like. This is the "free form" part
- ! of an IDX line and is typically used for special SPORT flags.
- !
- ! The format of items 1 through 5 must be EXACTLY this:
- ! filename,telephone;baud
- !
- ! Note this well! The filename MUST be separated from the
- ! telephone number by a COMMA and NO ADDITIONAL spaces. The
- ! telephone number must be separated from the baud rate by a
- ! SEMI-COLON and NO ADDITIONAL spaces.
- !
- ! You may add special characters to indicate the times mail may
- ! be sent to an address. This should be directly after the baud
- ! rate, using the greater than [>] and less than [<] symbols.
- ! Always use military time, from 00 (midnight) to 23:00 (11:00 PM).
- ! Times must be expressed in whole hours.
- !
- ! To enter the time, you may want to do this:
- ! When is the earliest I can call? (Example 9:00 AM)
- ! When is the latest I can call? (Example 5:00 PM)
- ! The entry is therefore: >09<17
- ! Greater than 9, but less than 17.
- !
- ! The entire line would read:
- ! DON.FLS,4556789;2400>09<17 Don at Work
- !
- ! Here are examples of what a typical IDX file might look like
- ! using ordinary SportMail:
- !
- 161521.FLS,7533356;2400 Satore Center (Net/Node 161/521)
- 521010.FLS,6488120;2400 Augustine Assoc. (Net/Node 5210/10)

- BOB.FLS,6488120;2400 Bob at Augustine Assoc. (BOB/)
- !
- ! Here is an example of a YooHoo(c) system. Note the "$" flag
- ! to indicate a YooHoo(c) system and the use of curly braces to
- ! indicate a packet name. In this case the SPORT .FLO file is
- ! used as a packet name. Any valid packet name is acceptable.
- !
