;
; This file is given as an example of the commands that should be added
; to the EchoDor.Ctl file to enable compressing and downloading mail.
;
; This file can either be apppended to the EchoDor.Ctl file or it can
; be added using the INCLUDE PackMail.Ctl command.
;
; If you use this file, delete some of the comments as it will decrease the
; EchoDor load / start up time.
;
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
;Nopackmail - Disables the packmail feature. If this parameter is uncommented,
; all of the PackMail features in EchoDor will be disabled. If you
; want to use the packmail function be sure to either remove this
; parameter or leave it commented out.
;
;NOPACKMAIL
;
;PackMenuFile - This is the name of the Pack Mail Menu file. This is much
; like the main menu file except it is displayed when the user
; selects the [P] option on the main menu.
;
; This parameter is required if you wish to use the pack mail
; feature in EchoDor.
;
PACKMENUFILE PackMenu
;
;Mailfile - The filename (and path) of where you wish uncompressed mail can
; be placed. This parameter is required for PackMail operation.
;
; If you let the user download this file through your file section
; on your BBS, be sure to place the file where it can be found.
;
; If you use the built in download function you should place the
; file where the download functions can find them. A good place
; to put the mail file is in the EchoDor directory.
;
; If you run multiple nodes, you should name this file differently
; in each echodor.ctl file so that the different nodes won't bump
; into each other. As an alternative you can include a single pound
; symbom (#) somewhere in the file name. EchoDor will replace the
; pound symbol with the node number.
;
MAILFILE C:\EchoDor\Usermail.txt
;
;PackMailText - This is a name of a file that is displayed to the user
; when he/she finishes packing the mail. You can tell them
; the file is available from the files section, or you can
; tell them to use the [D] command to download the mail or
; the [C] command to compress the packed mail file.
;
; This parameter is optional.
;
PACKMAILTEXT PackMail
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
;
; This section contains the parameters that define the mail downloading
; feature of EchoDor. The omission of these parameters will not prevent
; the user from packing mail; however, it will be necessary to place the
; packmail file somewhere where the user can download it through the file
; section of the BBS.
;
; With downloading enabled, the user can download the mail file from directly
; within EchoDor and not have to exit. EchoDor will tell the download command
; to either download the uncompressed file or the commpressed file as
; necessary.
;
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
;DownLoadFile - This parameter tells EchoDor the name of the file that should
; be displayed to the user when he/she selects [D]ownload from
; the pack mail menu. This file should tell the user the
; protocols that you have available for downloads.
;
; This file can be created in the three versions:
; filename.ANS (ANSI color)
; filename.ASC (IBM ascii)
; filename. (regular text)
;
; This file is required to enable downloading.
;
DOWNLOADFILE download
;
;DownLoadProtocol - This parameter tells EchoDor the letter which corresponds
; to each specific protocol, and how to call that protocol.
; EchoDor has no built in protocols. All downloading occurs
; through external protocol engines. DSZ is one of the best
; known protocol engines. Samples are given for X, Y, and Z
; modem downloads. You can have as many down load protocol
; lines as you need. You must have at least one for download
; to work.
;
; The first part of the parameter is the letter that is to
; be used to start the protocol. This should be a single
; letter. Upper and lower case are considered the same.
;
; The second part of the parameter is the name of the program
; that should be run. Be sure to include either the .EXE or
; the .COM at the end of the program. EchoDor will not
; directly run batch files. The program must be either in
; the current directory or on the path.
;
; The last part of the parameter is the command to be passed
; to the program to download the file.
;
; The command part of the parameter can contain special
; control words that are replaced by values before EchoDor
; runs the program. The available values are:
;
; %1 = node number (single character)
; %2 = com port number (single digit)
; %3 = baud rate (300-38400). If the user is connected
; with a locked rate, that locked rate will be used.
; %4 = file to download. A full drive and path will be
; passed.
;
; Any of the above can be used as needed. The following
; are samples for download protocols for X modem, Y modem,
; and Z modem.
;
DOWNLOADPROTOCOL Z DSZ.EXE port %2 sz %4
DOWNLOADPROTOCOL Y DSZ.EXE port %2 sb %4
DOWNLOADPROTOCOL X DSZ.EXE port %2 sx %4

;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
;
; This section contains the parameters that define the mail compression
; feature in EchoDor. The omission of these parameters will not prevent
; the user from packing mail; however, only the full text file can be
; received or specific compression (when EchoDor exits) can be used.
;
; When packing is used, the user can compress his/her text file before
; attempting to download it. This will reduce time on the BBS.
;
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
;CompressDir - This parameter tells EchoDor where to put files that have been
; compressed by an archive program. This parameter must specify
; a valid directory. ** Warning ** - this directory will be
; completely erased each time EchoDor gets ready to compress a
; mail file. MAKE SURE YOU GET THIS PARAMETER CORRECT!!!
;
COMPRESSDIR C:\EchoDor\Compress
;
;CompressFile - This parameter tells EchoDor the name of the file that should
; be displayed to the user when he/she selects [C]ompress from
; the pack mail menu. This file should tell the user the
; archive programs that you have available for compressing mail.
;
; This file can be created in the three versions:
; filename.ANS (ANSI color)
; filename.ASC (IBM ascii)
; filename. (regular text)
;
; This file is required to enable compressing mail.
;
COMPRESSFILE compress
;
;PackerProgram - This parameter tells EchoDor the letter which corresponds to
; each specific compression program and how to call that com-
; pression program. EchoDor has no build in archiving programs.
; All compression occurs through outside compression programs.
; Examples are given for ZIP, PAK, and ARC. You can have as
; many packer program lines as you need. You must have at least
; one for comression to work.
;
; The first part of the command is the letter that is used to
; start the compress program. This must be a single letter.
; Upper and Lower case are considered the same.
;
; The second part of the parameter is the name of the program
; that should be run. Be sure to include either the .EXE or
; the .COM at the end of the program. EchoDor will not
; directly run batch files. The program must be either in
; the current directory or on the path.
;
; The last part of the parameter is the command to be passed
; to the program to download the file.
;
; The command part of the parameter can contain special
; control words that are replaced by values before EchoDor
; runs the program. The available values are:
;
; %1 = the name of the file to compress. A full drive &
; path will be passed.
; %2 = the COMPRESSDIR parameter.
;
; Either or both of the above can be used. The following are
; examples of ZIP, PAK, and ARC.
;
PACKERPROGRAM Z PkZip.Exe -a %2\EchoMail %1
PACKERPROGRAM P Pak.Exe A %2\EchoMail %1
PACKERPRORGAM A Arca.Com %2\EchoMail %1
;
; This next example uses PAK to generate a self extracting
; archive for the user.
;
PACKERPROGRAM E Pak.EXE A/EXE %2\EchoMail %1
