Welcome to the world of Network gating
--------------------------------------
This Archive Should Contain:-
GATE_WAY.TOS The Program!
GATE_WAY.DOC What your reading
GATEAREA.DAT The Sample Area DATA
This Program will Transfer Messages between one Message base to the other
Using The QBBS message structures.
In doing this the original origin Line is altered to #ORIGIN so that your
exporter program adds its own origin line as if the message was written
locally, but others can tell where it has really come from...
*****PLEASE NOTE*****
Before Doing any Gatewaying, Check with all people concerned, IE:Moderators
When Gate_way is First run it will check ALL existing messages and Gate Them
If you do not want this to happen then make sure both Areas of each GATE
are cleared...
---------------------------------------------------------------
To install:-
Place GATE_WAY.TOS & GATEAREA.DAT in your BT directory, Usually where
Binkley and Your Message processors are..
Run GATE_WAY just after your importer and before your area cruncher.
IE: for ACS after COME_IN and before TIDY_UP
The GATEAREA.DAT file can contain As Many Gates as you need
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
E:\bt\areas.bbs
E:\m\0000
;The First Line MUST always contain the PATH/FILENAME for YOUR AREAS file
;The second line must always contain the path to netmail WITHOUT .MSG or .HDR
Quiet
; Quiet Stops output of message numbers, Its a bit quicker..(Optional)
;
;You can put as many Semicolons in the dat file as you like
;As they will be ignored
;
GATE TESTAREA with MYTEST
;
Gate MY_NET with Their_net
;
;The !! Must always be the last command in the DAT file...

This Program Has been tested on my Own system, I Cannot Promise it'll work
on yours but I dont see why not.....
This is the usual Use at your own Risk Warning......
-------------------------------------------
UpDates 10/8/91 Add Code to Ignore Semicolons (;) in the Dat File
Suggestion From Daron Brewood
0.6b 12/8/91 Restyle DAT file so Only Area names are entered and
Gate_way searches Areas.BBS for paths
0.8b 14/8/91 Correct small bug is .MSG transfer - I found this One!
V1.00 16/8/91 Looks to see if ACS.CFG exists, If so it adds area
Names to the specified AREALIST file, for SysOps
who use -A as an option in Tidy_up
V1.02 18/8/91 Added an On screen counter, so you know its actually
doing something!
V1.10 21/8/91 Well This is it I guess, All bugs should be sorted..
V1.11 25/8/91 Added Quiet Option - Request From Steven Green
V1.12 30/8/91 Correct small bug which would cause program to lock
up, Very rarely happened, but found it in the end
Also added another line to GATEAREA.DAT
