The main purpose of the program is to move received files to processing directories and keep track of what has and has not been received. Additional Features Include: - TIC File processing - Match .TIC file to distribution file - Move processed distribution files to another directory - Move or optionally delete .TIC files - Produce a PCBoard style directory of received distribution files - The PCBoard style directory is highly customizable including: - Addition of file distribution area to description - Starting the description on the same line as the file name - Justify the description Right or Left on the line - Optional single whitespace the description - Optional Strip high ASCII - Optional Wordwrap, with specified wraplength - Selectable number of line before and after the description - Optional search for FILE_ID.DIZ and/or DESC.SDI files for distribution file descriptions. - Optional insertion of FILE_ID.DIZ files where they do not exist using .TIC description text. - Parameterized Archiver commands for extraction/insertion to handle differing archivers. Commands for ZIP/ARJ/ARC/SDN/PAK/LHA/LZH supplied. - Selectable file moving methods - DELETE, always delete - NEWER, move only if newer, otherwise delete. Delete older files. - RENAME, move only if newer, otherwise delete. Rename older files. - ALERT, like RENAME, but also write a message to a selectable msg base alerting that a new file has appeared. - MOVE, always move. - Up to 100 From/To directory pairs for file moving, with wildcard specification. - User definable COPY program for across drive moving of files (for NOVELL systems, this would be the NCOPY.EXE program). - Selectable logging levels: 1(Error), 2(Warning), 3(Major Info), 4(Minor Info), 5(Who Cares) - Write a PCBoard message to the Sysop when an error occurs (optional) - Usenet BAG handling - Unzipping of BAGs - Elimination of unwanted newsgroups from BAGs - Optional Tracking of Unknown Newsgroups - Optional Newsgroup Statistics (Msgs, Bytes) - Optional Culled Newsgroup Statistics (Msgs, Bytes) - UPLD.LST processing - Tracking of received files versus what is being sent - Tracks number times a files has been received - FREQ list production, new or cumulative, Manual or Automatic. - Definable Errorlevel exit when files are to be FREQ'd - Data held in industry standard .DBF files for easy interface - Build/Index/Purge/Check the databases - Automatic or Manual Purging of old data ╓─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╖ ║ ░░░░░ Program Installation ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ ║ ╙─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╜ Unzip everything in a directory where you would like SAT to run. Ensure that the usual PCBoard environment variables are present for access to PCBOARD.DAT (SET PCBDAT=xxxxxx). Alter the configuration file to your tastes and system. Run SAT -once- with the Parameter "BUILD". This will create your starting databases and indexes. Decide when and how you want SAT to run (manually? in event?) and insert the appropriate statements into your selected process. Run it! It is suggested you -not- run with ALERT until you've run long enough to build prior file instances. ╓─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╖ ║ ░░░░░ Sample Usage ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ ║ ╙─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╜ Typically I use SAT as a once-an-hour process on a dedicated batch process server. Here is the batch file run: @ECHO OFF H: cd\pc\sat SAT MOVE SAT TIC :FIDO if not exist H:\pc2\fido\mail\0*.* goto UNINET f: cd\qf qscan /CNODE100 /BOTH :UNINET if not exist H:\pc2\uninet\LEDGE.* goto RIME p: cd\doors\cammail export ledge /TOP import ledge /KILLQWK /LOG :RIME if not exist H:\pc2\rime\*.ZIP goto WEATHER p: cd\postlink postlink altimp.cfg /altimport :WEATHER if not exist h:\pc2\weather\*.arc goto FINI h: cd \pc2\weather mv *.arc \f\weather\work /O cd \f\weather\work pkunzip *.arc del *.arc fname *.PCX "pkzip -m %%f %%s">doit.bat call doit del doit.bat mv *.zip \f\weather /O :FINI cls ╓─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╖ ║ ░░░░░ Program Commandline Parameters ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ ║ ╙─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╜ Usage: SAT <action> [Cfg=cfgfile] where <action> (required) is the action to take or "?" for extended information. where [Cfg=cfgfile] (optional) is the configuration file to use. All PCBoard Professional Sysop Series (PPSS) programs and packages operate out of a unified configuration file called PPSS.CFG. See CONFIG.DOC for general information on PPPS.CFG files. <action> can be one of BUILD - Builds the databases files for file tracking (initial run). INDEX - (re)Indexes the data files. CHECK - Xrefs current files against the file tracking databases. MOVE - Moves, deletes, etc. files per configuration. FREQ - Constructs list of files not received. PORP - Culls USENET Bag files per wanted newsgroups. TIC - TIC file processing, directory construction. PACK - Pack databases, usually not done manually. PURGE - Purge records per date parms in Cfg, Pack. Note: "PORP" is a joke. :-) ╓─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╖ ║ ░░░░░ Example Configuration File format ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ ║ ╙─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╜ ;═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ ;PCBoard Professional Sysop Series ;═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ ;─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── [PPSS General Configuration] ;─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Version=120 BBSName=Mushin BBS BBSSlogan=Join the InfoMushin Age!

This option was put in place purely for those networks (NOVELL for example) that have a network compatible copy that accomplishes it's work by instructing the server to do the copy without having the file actually travel up the network wire to the workstation and back down. In a future version of SAT it is hoped to make the NOVELL copy internal using proper NOVELL API calls. You can put just COPY, and let DOS do the copy, or put INTERNAL, and let SAT do the copy internally. ╓─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╖ ║ ░░░░░ Messages ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ ║ ╙─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╜ If you want to disable a particular message from being sent, leave that line blank, i.e. ProgramErrorMsg= ProgramAlertMsg= A message is simply text; the To/From and Subject are currently program-controlled. ╓─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╖ ║ ░░░░░ Databases ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ ║ ╙─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╜ Databases used by SAT are industry standard .DBF databases.

See "REGISTER.DOC" for full information. Until registered, these parameters can be anything: RegisteredName= RegistrationNumber= NodesSupported= ╓─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╖ ║ ░░░░░ Files Received Tracking ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ ║ ╙─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╜ These parameters are used to keep track of files that should be received, which have been received, and those which have not been received and which must be procured by "non-satellite means". RawUpldLst= Points to the directory where "UPLD.LST" can be found. FreqFile= Desired name for the file that lists unreceived files for a "SAT FREQ" adhoc run. FreqSuffix= Desired suffix for the daily "Unreceived this date" file. The filename is YY-MM-DD.ext NeedToFreqExitErrorLevel= After the automatic production of the "unreceived this date" file, the program will exit with this error level for batch file purpose. ╓─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╖ ║ ░░░░░ Usenet BAG processing ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ ║ ╙─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╜ Usenet BAG processing is designed to unzip and strip from the .BAG files those messages from newgroups you do not wish to carry. A work directory beneath the BAG directory is created and deleted. Press Escape during BAG processing and the program will ask if you wish to terminate processing at this time. Processing will be terminated gracefully. The work directory will be deleted. No data is lost. BagDir= Where the zipped BAG files can be found. GroupKeepList= The Usenet newsgroups you wish to retain ListUnknownNewsgroups= The program will optionally list newgroups you have not listed. Not recommended at this time. Leave blank to bypass this list. ListNewsgroupStatistics= The program will optionally list message statistics for the newsgroups you are keeping. ╓─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╖ ║ ░░░░░ TIC file processing ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ ║ ╙─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╜ This is an somewhat complicated area. You can process/match TIC files to the files they name, while deleting or moving the TIC files. You can create a PCBoard compatible directory of the files that are matched to, using either the TIC supplied description (the program will automatically detect and use lDesc in preference to Desc in this case) or use the FILE_ID.DIZ/DESC.SDI files if present. There are numerous possibilites for formatting the PCBoard dir file. TicTICSAreIn= TicFilesAreIn= Where the TIC files and the distribution files are, -after- being "SAT MOVE"'d. DeleteProcessedTICs= YES or NO MoveTicTICSTo= MoveTicFilesTo= Move the Processed TIC files and distribution to a "processed" directory. This will keep them from being processed more than once... PCBFileDirectory= Drive\Path\Name of the text file to add descriptions to. TicAreaTag= A non-blank specification here will add one line to the file description of the text specified here followed by one blank and the TIC area. Example, "FDNArea: PCBUTIL". UseDIZIfAvailable= UseSDIIfAvailable= YES or NO for each. You may not want to take the time to process the files at this time. LogNoDIZOrSDI= Log those file that do -not- have an override description FILE_ID.DIZ or DESC.SDI Archive= Specification of file extent and archiver parameters. The first characters of the parameters should be the file extent that specifies this archiver, followedby s semi-colon. The text following is that which you would use to extract the description files from the archive, with the position where the name of the archive denoted by "%s" (lower case s). You can if you wish specify a complete drive and path to the archiver, but you must specify all slashes (\) as two slashes (\\). As an example: Archive=ZIP;C:\\UTIL\\PkunZip.Exe -o -ed %s FILE_ID.DIZ In the sample configuration is: Archive=ARC;PkUnPak.Exe -xr %s FILE_ID.DIZ DESC.SDI Archive=PAK;Pak.Exe e /wa /st %s FILE_ID.DIZ DESC.SDI Archive=ZOO;Zoo.Exe xo %s FILE_ID.DIZ DESC.SDI Archive=ZIP;PkunZip.Exe -o -ed %s FILE_ID.DIZ DESC.SDI Archive=LHA;LHa.Exe e -m1 %s FILE_ID.DIZ DESC.SDI Archive=LZH;LHa.Exe e -m1 %s FILE_ID.DIZ DESC.SDI Archive=ARJ;Arj.Exe e -y %s FILE_ID.DIZ DESC.SDI Archive=SDN;Arj.Exe e -y %s FILE_ID.DIZ DESC.SDI Archive=SQZ;Sqz.Exe e /p3o1 %s FILE_ID.DIZ DESC.SDI StartSameLine= JustifyRight= SingleWhite= StripHigh= WordWrap= WrapLength= BlankLinesAfterName= BlankLinesAfterDesc= These parameters are used to determine the format of the PCBoard directory entries created by SAT. The placement of the Filename, size, and date are fixed; everything else is up for grabs. StartSameLine (YES/NO) indicates whether the description is to start on the same line as the Filename or on some following line. Justify right (YES/NO) indicates whether the description, after any wordwrap, should be snug against the right side of the screen or the left side. StripHigh (YES/NO) will strip ansi characters above decimal 127, and also those below a space (). SingleWhite (YES/NO) strips excess spaces and linefeeds from the description. WordWrap (YES/NO) indicates to submit the description to wordwrap or leave it "as found". The program will always wordwrap Desc (from the TIC file) as this will sometimes go over the usual standard PCBoard description length. WrapLength (number) is the number of characters to wordwrap at. PCBoard standard is 45. BlankLinesAfterName, BlankLinesAfterDesc indicate to produce "attached" blank lines directly after the Filename line (before the description) and directly after the description. "Attached" blank lines are lines that contain the description lines of "|" and nothing else. The following produces a standard PCBoard directory, using the description as intended by the program author. ; No refit, standard PCBoard style StartSameLine=YES JustifyRight=YES SingleWhite=NO StripHigh=NO WordWrap=NO WrapLength=45 BlankLinesAfterName=0 BlankLinesAfterDesc=0 DMPC211.ZIP 50852 04-11-94 ╒══════════════════════════════╕ | │ Dual Module Player Companion │ | │ ⌐ ∙ Version 2.11 ∙ ¬ │ | ╞═══────∙·· · · ··∙────═══╡ | │ DMPC is a front end for DMP │ | │ and other players.

It is recommended you set this at 3-5 days, which gives enough time for full file processing and deletes file entries which may legitimately repeat such as 0000FFFF.MO1. Additionally, you may specify a list of files which are -not- to be deleted from the databases, such as SHOW.EXE. PurgeDays= NoPurgeList= ╓─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╖ ║ ░░░░░ Logging ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ ║ ╙─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╜ The basic log levels are 1-5, where 5 give the most information and 1 gives the least. Level 1 is basically errors, level 5 is tons of information (your log can grow quite large). It is suggested you set the logging level at 5 to start and then reduce it later when you are assured everything is working to your satisfaction. SysopLog= Drive, path, name of the log file. LogLevel= 1(Error), 2(Warning), 3(Major Info), 4(Minor Info), 5(Who Cares) ╓─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╖ ║ ░░░░░ Program messages ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ ║ ╙─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╜ SAT has the ability to write messages to a PCBoard message base of your choice, using an external message writing utility named TXT2MSG. The TO:, FROM: and SUBJECT: are currently fixed, but you can specify the text. ProgramErrorMsg= Name of the file containing the text to use when SAT has detected an error condition. ProgramAlertMsg= Name of the file containing the text to use when SAT has detected an ALERT condition (see below). SysopMsgBase= The number of the conference where the message will inserted. ╓─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╖ ║ ░░░░░ File Moving and Tracking ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ ║ ╙─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╜ This is where you specify the FROM, TO, FILESPEC, and METHOD of file moving. FROM means the directory where the Planet Connect software will place files recieved. TO means where the SAT program is to move the files. FILESPEC means which files to move; a DOS wildcard. METHOD is four-fold: DELETE - always delete these files, do not move (although you must specify at least a "placeholder" directory). NEWER - move newer files of the same name, deleting the older. If the file is identical to one already recieved, it is deleted. RENAME - move newer files of the same name, renaming the older in the format YY-MM-DD.ext, where ext is the original file extent. Identical files are deleted. This is useful for Mail files; if the same name will appear day after day, use this (HCNMAIL.ZIP comes to mind). If you neglect to process a Mail file, it will not be overwritten, it will be renamed. If there are multiple file with the same extent, the renaming will fail. If for instance, you specify LEDGE.QWK and INTELEC.QWK to go the the same place, and miss a processing day, SAT will fail on trying to rename two files to the same YY-MM-DD.QWK. It is suggested that you move different networks to different places and work with them from there. If your mail processor cannot handle multiple incoming directories, move the incoming mail packets to the processing directory just prior to processing. ALERT - same as RENAME, but also insert a message alerting you to there being a new file. Identical files are deleted, and no message is inserted. Examples: Move=H:\PC\FIDO H:\PC2\FIDO\MAIL 0000FFFF.* NEWER Move=H:\PC\FIDO H:\PC2\FIDO\MAIL CDN*.* DELETE Move=H:\PC\FIDO H:\PC2\FIDO\FAM FMLY*.* RENAME Move=H:\PC\FIDO H:\PC2\FIDO\FILES *.* NEWER MOVE's are processed in the order that they appear, so in the above example, all files matching the wildcard filespec of 0000FFFF.* will be treated as NEWER (moved if newer, otherwise deleted). Files matching CDN*.* (Christian Distribution Network) will always be DELETE'd. FamilyNet files will be moved if newer or deleted if identical; older files of the same name will be renamed. All remaining files will be moved if newer, otherwise deleted. Move=C:\BRIDGE M:\FIDO_IN 0000FFFF.* NEWER Move=C:\BRIDGE M:\FIDO_IN CDN*.* NEWER Move=C:\BRIDGE M:\FIDO_IN FMLY*.* NEWER Move=C:\BRIDGE M:\FIDO_IN *.* NEWER This would be redundant; only the last line is needed. You only need specify more than one line per FromDir/ToDir if you need to process more than one FileSpec.
