MUI Fido File Request is a GUI for selecting files from a filelist,

The list of selected files is written to a .REQ-file in your
outbound directory.
The next time you call up your Fido Boss these files are
automatically downloaded by your Fidonet communications software.

DOCUMENTATION
MUIFFR 1.1 is pretty much self-explanatory.
Configuration window:
- For every node you can define an alias, a node number,
a telephone number, a password, a filelist associated
with this alias and a font compatible with this filelist.
MUIFFR automatically recognizes, if this list has been
packed with an XPK-packer, and unpacks it, when nescessary.
- When you press the 'Download' button of the main window,
your Fido communications software, e. g. TrapDoor,
is invoked. If you did not specify a phone number
for the current node, the contents of the 'Via Node'
string gadget (otherwise 'Via Number') are used for
invoking your Fido software.
Following format specifiers are recognized.
%t telephone number
%n node number
%l nodelist directory
%p password
Examples:
The current node has a telephone number:
TrapDoor Call %t Boss %n Password %p
The current node does not have a telephone number. It is
extracted out of the nodelist by your Fido software.
TrapDoor Call %n Password %p Nodelist %l
- The outbound directory is the placed, where the .REQ-file is to
be stored to.
- Termination: Is every line of the .REQ-file to be terminated with
a linefeed character (dec.: 10) or with an carriage return (dec.: 13)
and a linefeed?
- Filename position: Which word of the selected line is to be extracted
as the filename?
Main window:
- Password: Select one or more files and then press this button.
The password is now appended to each of them. Do not mistake
this password, which gives you download access to certain files,
by your personal password, with the help of which you are allowed
to download at all.
- Filenames can be im- or exported via the clipboard (RAmiga-C/V/X).
- Insert: The contents of the string gadget beneath the 'selected
files' listview gadget is appended to the list of these files.
- Delete: One or more filenames are deleted from the list.
- Load: The .REQ-file is loaded, if it exists.
- Save: The .REQ-file is saved to the outbound directory using
4D addressing. If no file has been selected, but a .REQ-file
already exists, then this file is deleted.
