- Well I thought I had Wafline going, that is till a user tested out. No
- go. What It won't do properly over the modem is update the Message pointers
- for usenet. Locally it will; go figure.
-
- The mailbox needs a little help from a utility called explode 1.65.
-
- Special thanks to Richard Caldwell for pointing this out via his useful
- batch file calling explode.exe then wafmail:
-
- ====/bin/wm.bat=============================================
- @echo off
- rem wafmail baud(%1) port(%2) time(%3) user(%4) Name(%5 %6 %7)
- if not exist \user\%4\mailbox.f goto wafline
- cd \user\%4
- echo Please wait, exploding Waffle 1.65 mail to 1.64 mail... > COM1
- explode -i -b %4
- :wafline
- wafmail -b%1 -p%2 -t%3 -s1 -u%4 %5 %6 %7
- if not exist \user\%4\%4.1 goto end
- echo Cleaning up exploded mail... > COM1
- del \user\%4\%4.*
- :end
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Of course your /extern/wafmail should be similar to the following:
-
- ====/waffle/extern/wafmail===================================
-
- /local /log /shell /command="c:\bin\wm.bat %b %d %O %A %W" /then="echo %|%|%C"
-
- Thanks again to Richard Caldwell. Hope you don't mind my sharing it
- here.
-
- No guarantees these files will work on your system.
