BTPACK [-T|-B] [-V] [Commands to Binkley]
Purpose:
This program enables you to use Bermuda's Pack, Import and Scan with the mailer
Binkley Term 3.01a and upwards in a (i hope) an easy way.
Operation:
There are two ways to use BTPACK, one is to let it act as a shell for binkley,
the other is run it before and after Bermuda. More about that later.
First the Config-File (BTPACK.CFG):
First in this file you should enter where bermuda writes the outmail.
after the Keyword 'HOLD'.Ex:
HOLD G:\BINKLEY\OUT\
after that you define how you want to start Binkley, this is done by enter a
label called ':START_BINKLEY' in btpack.cfg. After this label BTPACK read a
maximum of 10 lines (Comment's and empty lines doesn't count). Ex:
:START_BINKLEY
SCREEN.TTP 80 50
BTFONT.TTP BT.TTP %CL
SCREEN.TTP 80 25
Line 1 is the actuall label.
Line 2 starts a program called screen.ttp that gives you 50 lines on the screen
Line 3 start BTFONT, and BTFONT start Binkley. The %CL is replaced by the
commandline entered to BTPACK.
Line 4 Screen.ttp restores the screen to showing 25 lines.
(I don't think that there is a program called SCREEN.TTP, Bara ett
exempel Helge!)
Next label is called ':CONVERT_FROM_TB', each line after this label have
2 words, these are the actuall extensions of the outmail-files.
The Box for instance name normal arcmail-pakets *.NA, With Binkley however there
name is *.OAT. Ex:
(Besides from extension, the actuall filename is different.The box builds
the names from Zone:Net/node while Binkley use Net/Node.Point)
Last Label is called ':CONVERT_FROM_BINKLEY', It works just as :convert_from_tb
but the other way. Ex:
:CONVERT_FROM_BINKLEY
;Archived mail
OAT NA ;Normal
HAT WA ;Hold
CAT CA ;Crash
...
Please see exampel file included in this archive.
The other way of operation is to start BTPACK with commandline -T or -B,
-T means Convert from The box
-B means Convert from Binkley
If you do start with these commands BTPACK will NOT attempt to run Binkley,
Otherwise it will start Binkley.
The last parameter is '-V', with this BTPACK show a little more information.
