- Hiya...
-
- I was in need of a utility that would convert an areas.bbs kind of
- file to a Frontdoor setup, and after not finding it on several
- bbs' I just wrote one myselve. It creates a Folder.FD file from an
- Areas.BBS style of file. Use it as follows:
-
- AREAS2FD <Optional path and name to Areas.BBS file>
-
- If no parameter is given, it will look in the current directory
- for a file called Areas.BBS.
- Areas2FD will check for the FD environment variabele, and tries to
- open Folder.FD for the systempath. If Areas2FD can determine the
- systempath, the Folder.FD will be created there, else it will be
- created in the CURRENT directory.
-
- Standard disclaimer: I Don't guarentee anything, not that it will
- work or that it will format your harddisk. Use it wise and make a
- backup of your folder.fd before processing!
- Areas2FD is spreaded under a 'thanks a lot' basis. You like it?
- Let me know, some place, somewhere... That's all I'm asking. Feel
- free to use it in any environment, commercial, noncommercial or
- something inbetween.
- I do accept flames, but *NOT* in echomail. If you have anything
- bad to say about either Areas2FD or just about me, feel free to do
- it per private netmail, or logon to my board and yell the shit out
- of me! I wouldn't care less.
-
- Note, Areas2FD turns on the following bits: EchoMail, EchoInfo,
- MsgBase and Export OK. These are the defaults and you will have to
- live with it...
-
- A thank you goes to Joaquim Homrighausen for his absolutely
- fantastic Mailer prog.
-
- Areas2FD was programmed using Turbo Pascal 6.0 and the Frontdoor
- Developers Kit from Joaquim Homrighausen.
-
- I realize that Areas2FD is in a few ways kind of shit. It can't
- handle multiple aka's and doesn't handle origin lines. It was just
- made so that I can test every new mailtosser around, they can
- usually create an Areas.BBS kind of file and now that's all I need
- to read the messages using FM.
-
- Thanks for reading, goodbye!
