- INTRODUCTION
- ------------
-
- RASendit is a little utility program for tagging and sending
- files to users as they log onto your BBS. This allows for quick
- on-off operation of getting files. It will allow for group tagging
- which is handy for programmers to send beta files out to beta testers
- without the beta testers having to do the complete log on procress
- and then go to files and so forth, sure a message can be left to get
- this file or that file. RASendIt takes out the guess work and has
- the file waiting for ther users as they log on.
-
- I got this idea from the Spitfire BBS system which I used to
- run until switching to RA. I am friends with the Spitfire author
- and so I have moved this idea on to RA.
-
-
- OVERVIEW
- ________
-
- The archive consists of two executable files: CfgSend.Exe and
- RaSendit.Exe. CfgSend is executed by the sysop and it allows him
- to select a desired file and place it on hold for a particular user.
- It also holds the configuration information used by the entire
- program. Upon exiting CfgSend, it will automatically set a user flag
- in the appropriate user's account to allow the program to run
- seamlessly. Other BBS users will never know the program is there.
-
- RaSendit is run automatically from RA's top menu. Beyond the
- original installation in RACONFIG, the sysop never touches it again.
- When the selected user logs on, he will see the RaSendit screen and be
- asked if he wants to pick up his file(s). He then selects the desired
- transfer protocol and downloads the file(s). He then is given the
- option of continuing on to the bbs or logging off immediately.
- RaSendit will then reset his flag so that he won't go through the door
- again until the sysop desires.
-
-
- INSTALLATION
- ------------
-
- Unpack the archive into your RA home directory. RASendIt requires
- the config.ra file to operate. RASendIt is completely multi-node and
- uses file and record locking to accomplish this task. Two programs
- are included in this archive. RASendIt.Exe which is the file sender
- and CfgSend.Exe which is the config program to set up the file tags.
- A data file named RASendit.dat will be created in the RA directory,
- this file has all the data from CfgSend. A log is created with the
- name you specify in the setup program. A copy of DSZ.Com must exist
- in the directory where you place RASendit. The RASendit data files
- must reside in the RA directory and also it's key file if you have
- one must also reside in that directory. The Door.Sys or Dorinfo1.Def
- file needed to operate will be found in the directory you specify
- on the command line.
-
- Two display files are provided for use with RASendIt and will be
- displayed as the user logs on to RASendIt. The names of these files
- must be the same as the ones provided:
-
- RASENDIT.ANS -- ANSI FILE
- RASENDIT.ASC -- ASCII FILE
-
- IMPORTANT NOTE: If these files are not found in the same directory
- as RASendit (RA) then a default display will appear. Do NOT place
- the ansi and asci screens in the \txtfiles subdirectory.
-
-
- RACONFIG ENTRIES
- ----------------
-
- You can run RASendIt from anywhere within RA but I suggest you
- run it from the TOP menu as that way it works as a log on-off program.
- Set it up as a Type 7 Menu.
-
- RASendIt requires two parameters to run:
-
- Single Line
- ------------------------------------
- RASENDIT.EXE/PORT/PATH TO DOOR.SYS/DORINFO1.DEF /SWAP[optional]
-
- Example:
-
- C:\RA\RASENDIT.EXE *P C:\RA\NODE1 *M
-
-
- MultiLine
- ------------------------------------
- *C /C C:\RA\NODE*N\RASENDIT.BAT *M
-
- Example RASendit.Bat:
- c:
- cd \ra\node1
- rasendit 1 c:\ra\node1 the 1 = the comport
-
- The *M is optional but will allow the program to run faster with
- more memory. All the other parameters are required. For more info
- on the parameters see your RA 2.xx documents.
-
- Failure to provide the parameters will cause the program to abort
- back to RA.

- RUNNING THE PROGRAM
- -------------------
-
- To hold files for a particular user, you must run CfgSend first.
- This will set up the parameters: which file to send, and to whom, as
- well as other configuration information. See CFGSEND.DOC for further
- information.
-
- RASENDIT.EXE
-
- Once the user logs on and moves into the Door he will be presented
- with a screen displaying the ansi/ascii/default screens and then it
- will move to check to see if the user has a file waiting. If the
- user has a file waiting then he will be presented with a display
- like this:
-
- ■ Retrieving user data ... Please wait...
- ■ Hello Dale Maupin
- ■ Following file waiting for Download
- ■ Filename: RASND_14.ZIP
- ■ Description: Remote Access Filetag and Send v 1.00
-
- If this is a group send then you see this:
-
- ■ This is a Group Send File...
-
- If the user has already received the file then they see:
-
- ■ Sorry..., You have already received this file...
- ■ Proceeding to next file if any...
-
- After all of the above is decided then if you can D/l it you see:
- ■ Do you wish to D/L it now Y/N?
-
- If you pick Y then you see:
-
- ■ Pick the number of the preferred transfer protocol:
- <1> Zmodem
- <2> Ymodem
- <3> Xmodem
- <4> Quit
- NOTE: All the file transfers are accomplished using DSZ.COM,
- as such, this file must be in your path or in your RA
- home directory.
-
- If Local you get:
- <C>ontinue to copy
- <Q>uit
-
- Once all the file transfer are completed the program will
- end and require the user to press Return to move on.
- After moving on the user can Hang-Up or move on to the BBS.
-
