- Description of InterBBS Processes
- ---------------------------------
-
- INCOMING Command Line Parm
- --------------------------
-
- Note: This should be run in your mailer batch file at every file receive
- (just like your mail tosser)
-
- 1 - Reads all netmail messages.
-
- 2 - If Line 4 of the message (header flags, etc) reads "IBBS / WCS KENO"
- and the message is addressed to this system, it will be processed.
-
- 3 - File is copied to INZIP directory.
-
- 4 - Message file (*.msg) is deleted.
-
- 5 - File associated with message is deleted.
-
- 6 - All files in the INZIP dir are unzipped into the INFILES dir.
-
- 7 - The XXIBBS.DAT file is moved from the INFILES dir to the game directory.
-
-
- DAILY Command Line Parm
- -----------------------
-
- 1 - Reads through the MASTIBBS.DAT file looking for a match to the BBS Name
- listed in the XXIBBS.CFG file. If found, sets node number for data
- files (ex. KENO-5.DAT)
-
- 2 - If hub address and your address in the xxIBBS.CFG file match, hub flag
- is set (you are a hub)
-
- - If you are a hub, files will be written to INFILES dir
-
- - If you are NOT a hub, files will be written to OUTFILES dir
-
- 4 - Read your current HISCORE.DAT file
-
- 5 - Checks for monthly maintenance
-
- 6 - Fills top 10 players, writes out new XXXX-XX.DAT (where the first
- XX's are the game identifer, and the second XX's are the node number.
-
- The next steps are only done for BBSs that are NOT hubs:
-
- 7 - Compresses all files in the OUTFILES dir into OUTZIP\nodenumber.XX
- (where XX is the identifer of the game)
-
- 8 - Deletes the OUTFILES dir
-
- 9 - Creates a netmail message to your hub with the
- x:\gamedir\OUTZIP\nodenumber.XX file attached to it.

-
- DAILYHOST Command Line Parm
- ---------------------------
-
- 1 - Reads current XXIBBS.DAT file (if one does not exist, initializes values)
-
- 2 - Checks for monthly maintenance
-
- 3 - Reads all netmail messages looking for incoming files (this should be
- taken care of by running INCOMING command line parm in your mailer batch
- file at every file receive)
-
- 4 - Compiles all the node score files, sorts the output, and rewites the new
- XXIBBS.DAT file with a checksum to help prevent cheating. Writes the
- file to the OUTFILES dir.
-
- 5 - Reads ROUTE.CFG to create netmail messages for all downlinks. For each
- line in the ROUTE.CFG file that does not start with a ";", it will do
- the following:
-
- - Zips up the contents of the OUTFILE dir into the OUTZIP dir using
- the name specified after the nodes address (ex - 1:999/1;TEST;C
- would create a TEST.XX file, where XX is the game identifier)
-
- - Uses the netmail address specified before the ";" as the destination
- address, and creates a netmail message with the above file attached
- to it. In the above example, the address would be 1:999/1.
-
- - Uses the crashflag set after the node address to set the crash/hold
- flag for the message. In the above example, the crash flag would be
- set. (C for Crash, H for Hold)
-
- 6 - Deletes all the files in the OUTFILES dir.
