- DISCLAIMER

- LICENSE & DISTRIBUTION CONCEPT
-
- This program is distributed as SHAREWARE. It means that you're granted
- a possibility to try this program before you buy it. However, if you
- decided that you will use this program, please register. Details on
- registration are listed in REGISTER.DOC . If you're living in the
- former USSR, I strongly hope you'll not steal money from fellow
- programmer, and if not, the fee requested should be very small for
- you. ISHERE is fully functional in its unregistered flavor, with one
- inconvenience - it will not reset logfile pointer automagically. You
- have to erase ISHERE.PTR manually, or .... register!
-
- NOW FOR THE DOCS
-
- Well, it is a well known problem when you have your FileFix reposting
- numerous copies of nodediffs or other files, which are incomplete,
- because of interrupted session while receiving the original. Also,
- recently arised the problem with Squish renaming incomplete
- echopackets, disabling resuming on next connection.
-
- ISHERE is out to eliminate all those and possibly other problems. What
- it does is very simple - it scans FrontDoor log and moves fully
- received files into another directory, to which all of your programs
- processing something received should be tuned. And that's almost all.
- The only additions are that it is a little smart and won't try to move
- .PKT files or require a 'reset' run each time the logfile is erased or
- archived. In the latter case it will sense the decrease in file size
- and start from the beginning.
-
- ISHERE is currently working ONLY with FrontDoor v2.00 or above. No
- other mailer is supported. If anyone will bother to send me formats of
- logfiles and control structures of other mailers, I may consider
- putting them into next versions.
-
- Using ISHERE is very simple. It will sense environment variable FD if
- it is present or try to find SETUP.FD in current directory. It has two
- parameters - first is 'processing' directory name, and optional second
- is the ISHERE's log filename. That's all! Oh yeah, in order for ISHERE
- doing something useful, you MUST have log level Sent/Rcvd Files
- allowed in FD setup.
-
- Versions from 1.2 sense intransit files, and will not move it from
- the mailer inbound directory.
