-
- FAttach is a tool for BBS-Systems running FrontDoor with a
- large amount of files. Because FrontDoor needs some time to
- find the frequested files in a big system, sometimes the
- calling system hangs up before FrontDoor starts sending.
-
- To get around this FAttach can be used. All that is to be
- done is the following type of netmail.
-
- ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
- │ TO : FAttach, <Your Address> │
- │ RE : Anything │
- │ │
- │ In the TEXT-area the names of the files to be requested │
- │ │
- │ TANGRAM.GIF │
- │ FATT111.* │
- │ FILES │
- └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-
- Multiple files & wildcards are allowed.
-
- After recieving the netmail FAttach looks for a mail to it.
- Then ist ist looks through all frequestable directorys for
- the requested files, and makes a FileAttach Msg for the caller
- who may then poll for his frequest.
-
- FAttach can be configured in the following way , so that un-
- wanted "Suckers" can be closed out or let in.

- ; parameters are left out then this text will allways be attached.
- MsgText C:\Fido\FAttach.msg
- ;
- ;
- ; [O] MsgSubject defines the subject of MsgText

- ; more than one message it doesn't work.
- MaxFiles 20

- ; [N] The MailFlag specifys if the fileattach-msg's get Hold (H),
- ; Direct (D) or Crash (C) flag. Be very careful with the
- ; (D) and (C) flag.
- ;
- ; Use it only together with the NodeOk-list, because these
- ; people will have the pleasure of only sending the request MSG
- ; and you send the files ;-)
- ;
- ; With several CTL-Files you can make differences, so that
- ; normal nodes get Hold. And special nodes get Crash. To do
- ; this FAttach must be loaded with a CTL-File as parameter.
- ;
- ; Only one of these flags can be set.
- MailFlag H | D | C
- ;
- ;
- ; [O] For the finger slapping MsgText you can define an origin.

- ;
- ;
- ; [O] If FileInfo is used for every found file the description line
- ; in FILES.BBS will be picked out and sent as MAIL.
- FileInfo
- ;
- ;
- ; [O] If StopFound is set FAttach stops searching for more files
- ; after one file was found and no wildcard was used. Than the
- ; requester gets only the file that was found first if you have
- ; several files with the same name on your system.
- StopFound
- ;
- ; [O] One or more NickName's for FATTACH can be defined. You may use
- ; NICKNAME fattache for the users who add an E at the end or so.
- ; Using several NICKNAME <NickName> defines different NickNames
- NickName Fattache
- NickName Freq
-
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- Fattach automatically identifies the path it resides in and
- searches there for the CTL-file if no CTL-file is specified.
-
- So that FAttach can work at optimum FrontDoor should Exit
- after receipt of every mail and FAttach should be started.
-
- In Frodo Setup under Mailer, Miscellaneous following
-
- ....
- ▒│ Present all AKAs to remote system Yes │▒
- ▒│ Trigger exit upon receipt of netmail Yes │▒
- ▒│ └─Upon receipt of ANY file Yes | No │▒
- ....
-
- Mail must not be tossed, only FAttach must look for mail
- in the Netmail directory.
