- Registration
- ============
-
-
- If after using DOGFIGHT for a period of 30 days you decide to keep it,
- then registration is required.
-
- The registration fee is fifteen pounds sterling (£15.00).
-
- Postal-orders or international money orders in UK funds should be made
- payable to Christopher Tyson, and sent to the address above.
-
- NO personal cheques from persons outside the UK please - as it costs a lot
- to cash them.
-
- For this you get:
- A personally compiled copy of your registration details file.
- Unlimited support - you can phone me any time voice on the above number.
- Duplicate message checking will become operative.
- All command line parameters will become operative.
-
-
-
- NOTE FOR REGISTRATION FROM THE UNITED STATES
- ===========================================
-
-
- Due to the apparently ridiculous cost of sending funds
- from the United States to England, Michael Martell Sysop
- of Wolfs Moon BBS (207-772-9093 /9600/24hrs)
- (207-773-5791 /9600/24hrs)
- Fido Node 326/211
- has agreed to act on my behalf and accept registrations from persons
- within the US for the Dogfight software.
-
-
- Therefore, the full cost of registration within the US will
- be 35 dollars, payable to
- Michael Martell
- 5 Pineledge Terrace
- Portland, Maine 04103
- (207) 772-5625 6:00-11:00PM EST
-
- This will cover the registration fee, plus a small amount
- towards administration and the cost of sending the fee to
- me.
-
- I'm sure you will agree, this cost is far below the cost of
- sending the registration fee direct to myself, in UK funds.

- Introduction
- ============
-
-
- In the past, if Spitfire sysops wished to be part of FIDO Net then a
- 'door' type program (i.e. SMLNET) had to be used to maintain the message
- base completely separate from the Spitfire message base.
-
- DOGFIGHT was written to enable Spitfire sysops to import/export FIDO
- messages to and from the Spitfire message base.
-
-
- Things you need to know -
-
-
- When you set up your Spitfire conference areas to hold echo
- messages, please ensure you set the netmail toggle ON.
-
-
- DFDECOMP must be ran prior to DFIMPORT to ensure your inbound
- mail has been decompressed. Failure to do this will cause
- unpredictable results. Please read the section on DFDECOMP.
-
-
-
- DOGFIGHT comprises the following executable programs :
-
- DFCONFIG to create the DFCFG.??? configuration file.
-
- DFDECOMP to decompress inbound mail bundles.
-
- DFIMPORT to import FIDO Net messages directly from .PKT, .MO?,
- .TU? etc files into the Spitfire message base.
-
- DFEXPORT to export messages from the Spitfire message base directly
- into a FIDONet compatible .OUT file and compress this file
- if required, and to create .REQ file request and .FLO file
- send files. (See below)
-
- DFDB used for systems running D'Bridge front end mail to convert
- FIDO files to D'Bridge format.
-
- DFRESEND - sysop utility to re-export messages if required.
-
-
-

-
-
-
- Command Line Parameters
- =======================
-
-
- L - This will create either DFEXPORT.LOG or DFIMPORT.LOG giving the number
- of messages imported/exported from/to each area.
- (registered versions only)
-
-
- I - This will create DFIMPORT.INF or DFEXPORT.INF showing which FIDO areas
- will be imported/exported from which Spitfire message conferences.
- (registered versions only)
-
-
- NOSTRIP - As a default DFIMPORT removes SEEN-BY: and PATH: lines from
- inbound messages. Adding the NOSTRIP command line parameter will
- cause DFIMPORT NOT to strip these lines.
- (registered versions only)
-
-
- DFCFG.??? - Used to specify which config file to use (ALL DF??????.EXE
- programs - defaults to DFCFG.001).
-
-
- RF - Used in conjunction with DFRESEND. The RF parameter will cause DFIMPORT
- to create a text file called DFRESEND.CNF listing each conference and
- the number of messages imported in the format:
-
- {conference number} {number of messages} i.e.
- 10 15
- 11 30
- 12 33
-
- etc. etc. etc..
- DFRESEND can then be ran with the RF paramter, and will mark these
- messages as not sent, so DFEXPORT can export them if you so wish.

-
- Features
- ========
-
- Import strips Seen-By and Path lines from messages as well as message control
- information (i.e. PID: REPLY:) so leaving the message 'clean'. If NOSTRIP is
- specified Seen-By and Path lines will NOT be removed.
-
-
- Export allows direct addressing of NetMail messages to be sent to the
- recipients net/node.
-
-
- File requests allowed from your NetMail message conference, addressable to
- ANY system.
-
-
- File sends allowed from your NetMail message conference, addressable to ANY
- system.
-
-
- Log files showing the number of messages imported/exported by Dogfight
- (registered versions only).
-
- Information files showing which FIDO AREA's will be imported/exported
- to/from which Spitfire conference(registered versions only).
-
-
- Outbound packets 'mashed' if required or standard .OUT files built for
- processing by an external 'message masher' for netmail and echo message
- packets.
-
-
- Standard .REQ and .FLO files built for file requests/sends.
-
-
- Full file sharing/locking for multi-node systems.
-
-
- Multi-hub operation. Each echo area can be configured to be exported to
- a specific hub.
-
-
- Multi-config files. For use by Hub's. You can specify NOT to mark each
- message as sent, therefore allowing re-exporting of messages to other
- systems using additional DFCFG.??? files. Up to 999 config files.
-
-
- Full zone support - netmail messages, freq's & sends can be sent to
- any zone (up to zone 999 for BinkleyTerm - 99 for D'Bridge).
-
-
- AREA: names up to twenty characters long.
-
-
- Duplicate checking. Dogfight maintains a check on the last 4000 messages
- imported and will not import duplicate messages.
-
-
- Will import/export to/from up to 255 Spitfire conferences.
-
-
- Allows messages up to 500 lines by 80 characters to be imported.
-
-
-
-
- DFCONFIG.EXE
- ============
-
- DFCONFIG.EXE must be ran prior to anything else to create the
- configuration file required by all the Dogfight programs.
-
- USAGE: DFCONFIG [DFCFG.???] (defaults to DFCFG.001)
-
- The following menu will be presented when DFCONFIG is ran:
-

-
- Option 1) Sysop Name- This the name of the BBS sysop. It is used to replace
- messages from 'Sysop' during export.
-
- Option 2) - If selected this will toggle between 'Inbound messages addressed
- to {sysopname} will be re-addressed to Sysop' and 'Inbound
- messages addressed to {sysopname} will NOT be re-addressed to
- Sysop'.
-
- Option 3) - You can specify to whom inbound messages addressed to Sysop will
- be re-addressed to using this option. You will be prompted to
- enter the name. If re-selected it will revert to '...Sysop will
- remain unchanged'.
-
- Option 4) Your Zone - Enter your FIDONet Zone number.
-
- Option 5) Your Net - Enter your FIDONet Net number.
-
- Option 6) Your Node - Enter your FIDONet Node number.

-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- SYSTEM DATA Screen (cont.)
- ==================
-
- Option 9) Your HUBS Node- Enter your hubs Node number.
-
- Option 10) Origin Line - This will be appended to outbound messages. It is
- usually a short 'advert' for you BBS.
-
- Option 11) Path to Outbound Directory
- - This is where DFEXPORT will place outbound mail/file reqs/sends
- for you front-end mailer to process (see DFDB for D'Bridge!!).
-
- Option 12) Path to Work Directory
- - This is where DFIMPORT will look for .PKT files to import to your
- Spitfire message base.
-
- Option 13) Path to Message Base
- - This is the path to your Spitfire message base.
-
- Option 14) - If selected this will toggle between '...message bundles will be
- deleted after decompression' and '....will NOT be deleted...'
- This is used by DFDECOMP. NOTE: If this is set to 'NOT deleted'
- you MUST remember to have the bundles moved/deleted prior to
- running DFDECOMP again, or DFIMPORT will try to re-import the
- same messages.
-
-
-
- To change any of the options simply enter the option number and press return.
-
- Options 2,3 and 14 have defaults that will not need changing during normal
- operation. Unless you know what your doing I'd recommend they are left alone.

- CONFERENCE DATA Screen
- ======================
-
- When running DFCONFIG for the first time you will be presented with a blank
- screen, and the following options:
-
-
- Add, Edit or Delete Conference or Exit? (A/E/D/X) :
-
-
- Selecting 'A' will give you the following:
-
-
- Spitfire Conference Number : - Enter the conference number you wish
- to configure.
-
-
- FIDO Area Name : - Enter the FIDO AREA you wish imported
- into the above conference. This name
- is critical - Please Check it!
-
-
- Net to send to (Enter for primary Net/Node) :
-
- - This is used for multi-hub operation.
- If you are not running multi-hub press
- return and your 'primary' hub net/node
- will be used. For multi-hub, enter the
- net to send to and press return, you will
- be prompted for the node.
-
-
- Mark exported messages as sent? (Y/n) :
-
- - This is used in conjunction with multiple
- DFCFG.??? files for HUB systems, allowing
- the re-exporting of messages. The default
- is 'Y'. If you are not a HUB leave this
- as the default 'Y'.
-
-
- If you select E (edit) or D (delete) you will be prompted for the conference
- number you wish to edit or delete. Delete will ask for confirmation of the
- delete. Edit will allow you to change the Spitfire Conference number, the FIDO
- AREA name or the net/node to send this conference to.
-
-
- After each addition/change, the full list of configured conferences will be
- displayed, 9 lines at a time.
-
-
- After completing all the additions/changes you require select option X to
- exit.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Special Conference Areas
- ========================
-
- There are two special conferences used by Dogfight, these are:
-
- NETMAIL - If this conference exists, any inbound netmail messages will be
- placed in this conference. To allow file requests/sends and
- direct addressing of netmail messages you MUST have the NETMAIL
- conference configured, as netmail and/or file sends/requests cannot
- be sent from other conferences.
-
-
- BAD_MSGS - When DFIMPORT comes accross a message for which a conference
- has not be configured, one of two things may happen. If you have
- a conference called BAD_MSGS configured, the message is placed in
- in this conference. If you do NOT have BAD_MSGS configured,
- DFIMPORT will write the message to a text file called NOTKNOWN.MSG
- located in your Dogfight directory.
-
-
-
-
- Long Messages
- =============
-
- Dogfight will import messages up to 500 lines in length.
- Messages longer than 500 lines will be trucated to 500 lines and written
- to NOTKNOWN.MSG.
-

-
-
- EXTERNAL PROGRAM DATA Screen
- ============================
-
- The information entered here is used by both DFDECOMP to de-compress inbound
- mail bundles and DFEXPORT to 'mash' outbound mail (if required).
-
- The programs entered here MUST be accessible via your PATH environment
- string.
-
- Please give the FULL program name including the program extension (.EXE or
- .COM) and any command line parameters (in upper or lower case as required)
- needed for correct execution. In most cases the defaults already shown
- will work.
-
- These commands are critical .. incorrect commands will cause stray packets.
-
- (NOTE: If you are using SEA's ARC.EXE to decompress .ARC files, I have had
- to 'fiddle' with DFDECOMP as SEA's 'ARC.EXE x' command will not allow
- a target directory to be specified. DFDECOMP will unARC the file into
- the CURRENT directory, then will use the program specified in option
- 7 to copy ALL .PKT files from the current directory into your work
- directory!)
-
-
-
- Option 8) If you are using D'Bridge front end mailer, toggle this option to
- true. Option 9 will automatically be set to N (none). Please
- remember to run DFDB.EXE after DFEXPORT to create the D'Bridge
- files.
-
-
- Option 9) You can specify whether you want outbound mail to be
- compressed and the packing method required (Zip/Arc/Lzh).
- Or left as standard .OUT files for an external message masher
- to mash (select N (none)).
-
-
- After making any changes you require enter Q and press return to exit to the
- main menu.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- After returning to the Main Menu and making any changes you require, enter
- Option 5) Quit. You will then be asked whether you wish to save the changes
- you have made. Press Y to save.

-
- NOTES ON DFCFG.??? FOR HUB'S
- ============================
-
- Under normal operation all the DF??????.EXE programs will default to
- reading DFCFG.001.
-
- To allow messages to be exported more than once (for HUB's) the following
- procedure MUST be followed.
-
- DFCFG.??? files must be created for each net/node you wish to export
- messages to. You can either create each file from scratch, or copy DFCFG.001
- to DFCFG.002 / DFCFG.003 etc.. then amend the conference data in each
- config file.
-
- When amending the conference data:
-
- For each area you wish exported more than once
-
- Amend 'Net to send to' and 'Node' to the net/node you wish the
- messages exported to.
-
- Toggle the 'Mark exported messages as sent ? (Y/n)' to 'FALSE'
- i.e. select 'N'.
-
- Do this for each DFCFG.??? you create EXCEPT THE LAST ONE.
-
- The last DFCFG.??? *MUST* have all the 'Mark exported messages as sent?'
- toggled to TRUE. This will ensure that once all messages are exported to
- your various nodes, DFEXPORT will mark the messages as sent.
-
- The export portion of your batch file will then look like this :
-
- CD\DOG
- DFEXPORT L DFCFG.001 -| 'Mark exported messages as sent?' toggled to
- DFEXPORT L DFCFG.002 |-- FALSE for those conferences to be re-exported.
- DFEXPORT L DFCFG.003 |--'Net to send to' and 'Node' amended to the net/
- DFEXPORT L DFCFG.004 -| node of the recipient system.
- etc..
- etc..
- DFEXPORT L DFCFG.nnn ---- ALL 'Mark exported as sent?' toggled to TRUE.
-
- NOTE: Dogfight was not intended to be used by a hub system, the above is
- only satisfactory when exporting to a non-Dogfight using system, or a
- system which will not re-export messages to another system.
-
-
-

-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Example of multiple DFCFG.??? files:
-
- DFCFG.001 Conference data contains:
-
- Conference 10<->FIDO area AMSTRAD (Exported to 256/97) Mark Sent=TRUE
- Conference 11<->FIDO area BBS-NEWS (Exported to 256/97) Mark Sent=FALSE
- Conference 12<->FIDO area BUY (Exported to 256/97) Mark Sent=FALSE
- Conference 13<->FIDO area COMMS (Exported to 256/97) Mark Sent=FALSE
- Conference 14<->FIDO area GAMING (Exported to 256/97) Mark Sent=FALSE
- Conference 15<->FIDO area HARDWARE (Exported to 256/97) Mark Sent=FALSE
-
- ( Conference 10 is exported to 256/97 ONLY and will NOT be re-exported.
- Conferences 11 to 15 are exported to 256/97 and WILL be re-exported.)
-
-
- DFCFG.002 Conference data contains:
-
- Conference 11<->FIDO area BBS-NEWS (Exported to 256/27) Mark Sent=TRUE
- Conference 12<->FIDO area BUY (Exported to 256/27) Mark Sent=FALSE
- Conference 13<->FIDO area COMMS (Exported to 256/27) Mark Sent=FALSE
- Conference 14<->FIDO area GAMING (Exported to 256/27) Mark Sent=FALSE
- Conference 15<->FIDO area HARDWARE (Exported to 256/27) Mark Sent=FALSE
-
- ( Conference 11 is re-exported to 256/27 and will NOT be re-exported.
- Conferences 12 to 15 are re-exported to 256/27 and WILL be re-exported.)
-
-
- DFCFG.003 Conference data contains:
-
- Conference 12<->FIDO area BUY (Exported to 256/90) Mark Sent=TRUE
- Conference 13<->FIDO area COMMS (Exported to 256/90) Mark Sent=TRUE
- Conference 14<->FIDO area GAMING (Exported to 256/90) Mark Sent=TRUE
- Conference 15<->FIDO area HARDWARE (Exported to 256/90) Mark Sent=TRUE
-
- ( Conferences 12 to 15 are re-exported to 256/90 and will NOT be
- re-exported.)
-
- The export portion of the batch file will look like this:
-
- CD\DOG
- DFEXPORT L DFCFG.001
- DFEXPORT L DFCFG.002
- DFEXPORT L DFCFG.003

- DFDECOMP
- ========
-
- DFDECOMP must be ran in the same directory as DFCFG.???
-
- DFDECOMP is a utility that will check you inbound mail directory for
- .MO?, .TU?, .WE?, .TH?, .FR?, .SA?, .SU? and .PKT files.
-
-
- If any files with these extensions are found, DFDECOMP will attempt to
- decompress them using the programs you have defined in the External Program
- Data screen of the DFCONFIG program.
-
-
- If the decompression is successful the source file is deleted if Option
- 14) of the System Data screen of DFCONFIG has been toggled to do so.
- In the case of .PKT files, if the file was not compressed in either .ZIP,
- .ARC, or .LZH format then the file is copied (using the program defined in
- the External Program Data Screen Option 7)) to the target directory.
- (This is because .PKT files should not be compressed, however I have
- received compressed .PKT files so have added this for that reason.)
-
-
- For DFDECOMP to work correctly the external programs defined in DFCONFIG
- must be accessible through your PATH environment string.
-
- (If not then DFDECOMP will not decompress or delete the file, or in the
- case of uncompressed .PKT files, copy the file).
-
-
- USAGE:
-
- DFDECOMP {source directory} [target directory] [configfile]
-
- {source directory} is obligatory, if [target directory] is not specified
- DFDECOMP will decompress the files into the current DOS directory.
- If configfile is not specified DFCFG.001 is used.

- NetMail
- =======
-
- A NetMail message is created by entering a message in your NETMAIL
- message conference ONLY. If you have not configured a netmail conference
- this option is not available to you.
-
-
- To address a message to be sent directly to the addressee you enter the
- following the SUBJECT: field of your message -
-
-
- <NM>2:256/97 Which stands for <NetMail>Zone:Net/Node.
-
- Note: If Zone: if not entered the message will default to your zone.
-
- Zone:Net/Node being the FIDO address of the system you wish the message
- to be sent directly to.
-
- You MUST leave at least one space after zone:net/node before entering
- any text for the remainder of the subject
- i.e. '<NM>2:256/97 New Year Party'
-
-
-
- File Sends/Requests
- ===================
-
- A file send or request is created by entering a message in your
- NETMAIL FIDO message conference ONLY. If you have not configured a netmail
- conference this option is not available to you.
-
-
- To request a file the following must be entered in the SUBJECT: field
- of your message :
-
-
- <FR>2:256/97 (NO SPACES before or after this, and NO point)
- Which stands for <File Request>Zone:Net/Node.
-
- Note: If Zone: if not entered the f'req will default to your zone.
-
- You then enter the files you wish to request in the main body of the message
- i.e
-
- NODEDIFF.A??
- FILES
- etc..etc..
-
- Each file name must start at the beginning of the line, and only 1 per line
- is allowed.
-
-
- File sends are practically identical :
-
-
- <FS>2:256/97 (Again NO SPACES before or after, and NO point)
- Means <File Send>Zone:Net/Node
-
- Note: If Zone: if not entered the send will default to your zone.
-
- The body of your message would then contain the FULL path to each file you
- wish to send, 1 file per line.
-
-
-
-
- i.e.
- C:\SF\DOCS\ALLFILES.BBS
- C:\UTIL\MYPROG.ZIP
-
- etc..etc..
-
-
-
- Notes: The To: field can contain anything you wish, as it is not used.
- For some reason Spitfire requires that you enter the subject twice
- when entering <FS>net/node or <FR>net/node.
-
-
-
-
-
- NOTE ON ZONE SUPPORT
- ====================
-
- If a message, f'req or send is entered for a zone other than your own, the
- resulting packet is placed into a new directory.
-
- This new directory is based on your 'Path to Outbound Directory' directory
- name, plus an extension of the zone.
-
- So, in my case, my 'Outbound Directory' is C:\BINKLEY\OUTBOUND, if I enter
- a message to zone 5, it will be placed in C:\BINKLEY\OUTBOUND.005
- A message to zone 7 would be placed in C:\BINKLEY\OUTBOUND.007 etc etc
- If the relevant directory does not exist, it will be created.

- SETTING IT ALL UP (BinkleyTerm)
- ===============================
-
- All the Dogfight files must be placed in the SAME directory.I would also
- recommend creating a work directory that will be used to hold the .PKT files
- prior to importing.
-
- I use BinkleyTerm as a front-end mailer and the relevant portions of my
- batch file are :
-
-
- FOR THE EXPORT FUNCTION:
- ========================
-
- (At 2am BinkleyTerm is configured to poll my hub to pick up any mail -
- at 1.55am BinkleyTerm shells to :Exp_Mail)
-
- :Exp_Mail
- CD\DOG
- DFEXPORT L
- CD\BINKLEY
- GOTO BT_Start
-
-
- FOR THE IMPORT FUNCTION:
- ========================
- (BinkleyTerm shells to :Mail_Rec in the event of receiving inbound mail)
-
-
- :DFIMPORT
- CD\DOG
- DFDECOMP C:\BINKLEY\INBOUND\ C:\DOG\WORK\
- DFIMPORT L
- IF EXIST NOTKNOWN.MSG ECHO **** NOTKNOWN Message File Exists!! ****
- CD\BINKLEY
- GOTO BT_Start
-

- DFDB.DOC file.

- Comments, suggestions, problems etc should be sent to me at my home address,
- or to Mike Martell at Wolf's Moon BBS.
