- TICKET is not guaranteed to do anything inparticular. As far as
- I know it could turn your 160 meg super hard disk into a 320K
- floppy. However I've done what I can to make sure it at least
- works here on my system. Use it at your own risk. No warranty is
- stated or implied. The author shall not be responsible for any
- damages resulting from it's use, directly or indirectly.
-
- TICKET is distributed as a Freely Available Copyrighted Program,
- no fee may be charged for distribution and the distribution
- archive may not be tampered with or altered in ANY way. It may be
- repackaged using a different archival method as long as the
- contents of the archive are the same as that of the distribution
- archive.
-
- AT NO TIME are files to be added to the archive that were not in
- the original distribution archive. This includes Archive
- Comments.
-
- Modified Source code may NOT be distributed. If you are planning
- on porting the code to another operating system, or have code
- changes that you think are highly beneficial, then please contact
- the author directly for assistance or guidance.
-
- The Author may be contacted at FidoNet Node 1:343/27.0 If you have
- problems or incompatibilities with files generated by a
- particular system, please contact me. I will do what I can to
- fix any problems.
-
- What TICKET does:
-
- TICKET announces the arrival of files at sites using FLEA, TICK or
- other compatable software, as in FidoNets SDS Network or
- SDNet/Works. It creates a message in the message area of your
- choice, listing the File Area Name, Filename, Filesize, Filedate,
- Origin, and Description.
-
- TICKET should be run BEFORE running FLEA or TICK. It depends on
- the incoming .FLE or .TIC files along with the files to be in your
- inbound directory.
-
-
- USAGE
-
- TICKET options
-
- OPTIONS:
-
- -Mmessagepath - Directory to place Message
- # No Longer needed if message is to be a
- # Netmail message AND you have your NETMAIL
- # path defined in TIC.CFG
-
- -Tuser_name - Address Message to User
-
- -Nzone:net/node - For Netmail - Send to address
- # You may specify as many addresses as you wish
- # by using the -N command multiple times.
-
- # -N*tagname - Uses a file called PLEASE.ALL for a list
- # of nodes to send the message to. Please
- # consult your PLEASE manual for the proper
- # format of this file. If you wish you can
- # specify as many Tags as you wish by using
- # this command multiple times
-
- -Ffrom_Name - To fill in the From Field
-
- -Aareaname - Only process files in this FILE area You
- # can now specify as many areas as you want on
- # the command line
- #
- -Iinboundpath - Overide inbound area in TIC.CFG
-
- -Ssubjectline - Overides the default subject line
-
- -P - Mark message as PRIVATE
-
- -K - Mark message as KILL-SENT
-
- -Q - Quite mode - No screen output
-
- # -Llogfile - Create a logfile of files received
- Stores filenames, Filedates, Size, Areaname
- and file description.
-
- # -Z - Use ZoneGates for InterZone Netmail Messages
-
- Spaces MUST be replaced by the underline character and there must
- NOT be a space between the command and it's parameter.
-
-
- Ticket also requires a configuration file to get certain required
- parameters. To make things easy, it will read your existing
- TIC.CFG file if you already use TICK. If not you should create a
- file called TIC.CFG. TICKET will work on systems that use programs
- other than TICK, however you will need to create the TIC.CFG file.
-
- The Following parameters are REQUIRED!
-
- IN C:\Inbound - Your inbound directory where both
- the FLEA or TICK files and the
- inbound files are located.
-
- ZONE 1 C:\Outbound - These three parameters are used to
- NET 343 determine your matrix address.
- NODE 27
-
- # OPTIONAL
- #
- # NETMAIL C:\Netmail - The Default Message path
- # Used if no path is specified on
- # the command line.
-
- # VERSION 1.10 Note
- #
- # Note that a bug has been fixed in the code that determines your
- # address. Version 1.0 used the LAST Zone statement to determine
- # the proper zone number. This was NOT consistant with the way TICK
- # works and caused some problems on some Multi-Zone systems. If you
- # rearranged your TIC.CFG file to compensate for this bug, you will
- # want to put it back the way it belongs since the FIRST zone
- # statement is now used.
-
-
- If the area TICKET creates a message for is an ECHOMAIL area and
- contains an ORIGIN file, an Origin line will automatically be
- appended to your message. It will NOT look at your Areas.BBS for
- the Default origin line. If fact, the presence of an ORIGIN file,
- is the only way TICKET knows that this area is an ECHO area. This
- file is not required, as your mail processor should add an origin
- line when exporting mail, if one is not already there.
-
- Here is an example from the Batch file on MY system
-
