Sample controlfile for AUTOLINK v1.0 27 Dec 1992 ================================================================ Update AUTOLINK v1.1 (18 Jan 1993) -1. entry -REMOTE isn't recconized anymore as an areatag. -2. entry -PASSTHROU now will be recconized as an areatag. This is usefull for BERMUDA users. Update AUTOLINK v1.2 (21 Jan 1993) -1. maximum numbers of uplinks now 100 and maximum numbers of mailareas 1000. Now it should work by Brain Watters (90:3/0) and I'm greatfull for his bugreport. - Generates A_AREAS.BBS and A_DAREAS.BBS files. - Compares A_DAREAS.BB to your DAREAS.BBS file. - Automatically (dis)connects echoarea's use -DAILY to write automaticaly netmail to your uplink(s) to (dis)connect echoarea's. Only the mailarea of the passthrou mailareas (the areas in your DAREAS.BBS file!!) are scaned. The mailareas in your AREAS.BBS-file are not allowed to be disconnect because these mailareas are available on your BBS. A) if you use a AREAS.BBS for your bbs mailareas and a DAREAS.BBS for your passthrou mailareas (see manual of Jetmail) than insert in your batchfile: autolink.ttp -daily B) If you only use a AREAS.BBS and you do not use a DAREAS.BBS file than make the batchfile like this: copy c:\binkley\areas.bbs c:\binkley\dareas.bbs autolink.ttp -daily Example of AREAS.BBS file: The default originline 68000 Data Server +31-53-777522 -Group F -DAYS 10 -MinMsgs 25 -MaxMsgs 150 C:\MSGS\0001 GENERAL.L 2:283/305.3@fidonet.org .1 .3 -Group F -DAYS 10 -MinMsgs 25 -MaxMsgs 150 C:\MSGS\0002 FROMTO.L 2:283/305.3@fidonet.org .4 .9 BTW, BERMUDA users can also use the keyword -PASSTHROU to define passthrou areas in there AREAS.BBS file. Example of DAREAS.BBS file (for use with Jetmail): -Group F AFNA_ECHO.GER 2:281/801@fidonet.org 283/305.1 .7 -Group F AMIGA.GER 2:281/801@fidonet.org 283/305.4 .14 -Group F AMIPROG.GER 2:281/801@fidonet.org use -CHECK to link already linked echoarea's and unlink not linked echoarea's. Just for checking things... If you normaly have to copy your AREAS.BBS to a DAREAS.BBS file (see above unther B) than all tag in the netmail to your uplink will be double! Sorry for this but AUTOLINK is written do deal with a DAREAS.BBS file. Just edit the netmail(s) by deleting 50% of the lines.
