*******************
* F N E T M A I L *
* Version 1.9 *
*******************
What's Really New
-----------------
(1) Note the additions to the FNMAIL.CFG file which add support
for a path to the REP and QWK packets to assist in easy local
uploads and downloads.
(2) Added support for a single tagline up to 54 characters to be appended
to each message downloaded from FNETMAIL.
(3) Protocal data file has been modified to support any bi-directional
protocol.
On the first line of each protocol definition is a letter followed
by three numbers ("0" or "1"). Previously there were 2 numbers. You
MUST add the 3rd number to your file now. If the protocol is a
bi-directional protocol the number MUST be a "1" else it MUST be a "0".
Below is an excerpt from my MAILPROT.DAT file:
3
Z110Zmodem with Resume Capability - Still the Best!
DSZ ha slow port 1 pB4096 sz -s -m
DSZ ha slow port 1 pB4096 rz -m -rr
B111Bimodem Bi-Directional Transfers + Chat
Bimodem /U
Bimodem /D
H111HS/Link (Bi-Directional / Start 2-Way Transfers as D/L!)
C:\TELIX\HSLINK -P1 @G:\QB3\NODE1.CFG
C:\TELIX\HSLINK -P1 @G:\QB3\NODE1.CFG
Line 1: Still the number of protocols configured. Why do I still place a
number here? You may make notes or add anything you wish after the
last prootcol entry in the file.
Line 2: "Z" is the key letter for this protocol (Zmodem)
1st "1" - Use a 1 if the protocol can resume an aborted upload.
2nd "1" - Enter a 1 if the protocol supports batch transfers (or a "0")
** NEW ** "0" - Enter a 0 if the protocol doesn't support bi-directional
transfers. Enter a 1 if it DOES support this type of
transfer.
The rest of line 2 is a description of the protocol (40 characters max):
"Zmodem with Resume Capability"
Line 3: "DSZ ha sl port 2 pB4096 sz -s -m"
A command line for sending files (user download) with this protocol.
If this is a bi-directional protocol you must ensure the protocol
receives files in the NODE work directory either by including
the protocol's command to do this on the command line or in a
configuration or sequence file the protocol uses.
For HS/Link I use a separate configuration file for each node. Here
is my NODE1.CFG file. Note that my HSLink.EXE file is located
in the C:\TELIX directory. My bbs node directory is G:\QB3

Line 4: "DSZ ha sl port 2 pB4096 rz -m -r"
A command line for receiving files (user upload) with this protocol.
If this is a bi-directional protocol you would most probably have the
same commands for the send and receive modes.
