- NSEND.EXE
- 1.0
- June 13, 1987
-
- This is directly stolen from Wynn Wagner's OSEND. As far as I know
- that means its still coverred under the Wynn Wagner's "must be used
- in a friendly, legal manner and be free to anyone" license.
-
- The difference is that I've added enough code to allow the use of
- wildcards in the file names. OPUS 1.00 will not send out a file
- with a wildcard in the name because it can't find a match so NSEND
- expands any wildcards to full file names.
-
- | You can also use NSEND 1.0 to send the same file(s) to different
- | Matrix addresses, with different attributes set. That is, you can
- | send say, the NODEDIFF, to up to 20 boards in one command line,
- | each with its own behavior, (whether its Crash, Hold, or Normal
- | mail)
-
- To use just enter:
-
- NSEND C:\Opus\Files\Comm\QMS*.arc -N119/13 -H119/5 -C119/42 -PC:\Opus\Outbound
- | | | | |
- Path and filename -+ Net/Node address | | Outbound hold-
- (can be more than of receiver for | | ing directory.
- more than one per Normal mail. | | (/Opus/Outbound/
- line.) Mark files as "Hold" -+ | by default)
- for 119/5 |
- Send to 119/42 Crash
-
- If NSEND is unable to find any matching files for the filename it
- is given it will not generate an outbound mail file. The current
- limit on the number of files it will mail in one pass is 30. That
- was just rather arbitrarily taken from OPUS.H.
-
- | I think the ability send to multiple boards from the same command
- | line removes the need to have NSEND read a script file unless
- | someone can come up with some reason why it should. If you come up
- | with one, please send a sample of what the script file would do.
-
- As always, suggestions are welcome.

- History:
-
- NSEND 0.00 June 9, 1987
-
- Copied from Wynn Wagner's OSEND_11, added the code to allow wild
- cards in file names. Altered small section so that enterring the
- holding area with a trailing backslash is not an error.
-
-
- NSEND 1.00 June 13, 1987
- Dropped the '-ANet/Node' in favor of allowing entry of multiple
- addresses. The current limit is 20 matrix addresses and 30 files.
- That's 600 files in one pass. Would probably tie up your board for
- hours if you tried to exceed it.
