- Another bodgy Plot Hatching Factory effort.
-
- HI there...
-
- New to 1.1: Bug fixed in date stamp. Renames to current date extention IE
- MO0 all the time...
-
- I'm basically too tired to write an in depth doc of this as it's nine in the
- morning and way past my bedtime. :-)
-
- PKTShovel was invented and programmed to get rid of the need to use Trapdoor
- to run a fake point on a BBS system... However you can use it for just about
- everything since it uses a config file to give details on the operations to
- perform.
-
- Simply put. Shove PKTShovel.rexx in REXX: Set the script flag and make sure
- you user-startup adds a path to REXX: (C= didn't do that out of the box)
-
- Now...
-
- Usage:
-
- [rx] PKTShove <SYSTEM> [quiet]
-
- System is the name of the group of move commands in the config file. (more
- later) and the quiet switch will turn off copying and deleting information
- if desired.
-
- Now... Config file:
-
- Simple put a group of MOVE commands must come after a SYSTEM command.
-
- Something like-
-
- SYSTEM BBS
- ;
- MOVE BBS_OUT: SPOT_IN: 2:254/205.0
- MOVE BBS_OUT: SPOT_IN: 39:139/5.0
- MOVE BBS_OUT: SPOT_IN: 959:104/5.0
- ;
- MOVE SPOT_IN: BBS_OUT: 2:254/205.1
- MOVE SPOT_IN: BBS_OUT: 39:139/5.1
- MOVE SPOT_IN: BBS_OUT: 959:104/5.1
- ;
- DOSCOM BBS:Scripts/unpackmail.script
- ;
- SYSTEM
- ;
- MOVE etc etc etc...
-
- Got it?
-
- MOVE <Source> <Destination> (What address packets in the SOURCE!!)
-
- Simple... The paths MUST have a ':' or a '/' as I was too lazy to code idiot
- checking crap at this stage...
-
- The DOSCOM is simply executed. This is it is NOT run as a script command but
- executed as if you typed it from the shell yourself... Any spaces will be
- remove so JUST use it for a path to a script file AND SET THE SCRIPT
- FLAG!!!! THIS IS MOST IMPORTANT!
-
- I did it this way partly out of lazyness and party because I hadn't decided
- if my own script was going to be DOS or AREXX. And Arexx example is given
- that will cause Spot to Import and the run Xeno's INBOUNDMAIL script.
-
- Obviously useless to you if you don't use them so use your own...
-
- Ah... That's about it. There's example enough in the file.
-
- If you've anything to add the contact me at 2:254/205.0 or 39:139/5.0
-
- Bye bye... <yawn>
-
- ..... Thud.
