******* CarbonCopy.man *******************************************************
*
* $VER: CarbonCopy V34.8 (06-Mar-93) -- A FSC-0039 MultiMatrix Utility.
*
* Written by Klaus Seistrup @ FidoNet 2:230/119
*
******************************************************************************
FUNCTION
CarbonCopy is a FidoNet Technical Networks utility that will create
FSC-0039 style packets, given a plain ASCII text file and a list of
nodes to send netmails to. You'll need a TrapList parsed NodeList
to accomplish this...
CarbonCopy is for netmails only, but you might like to try CrossPost
written by SUne Trudslev (former 2:230/415@fidonet) for making multiple
postings in echomail areas.
SYNTAX
CarbonCopy -f FromFQFA -s Subject -t TextFile -d Directory [HOLD|CRASH]
@ List ToFQFA/... [NOCC] [NOORIGINAL] [FORCEINTL]
FromFQFA FQFA of sender ($SYSNODE)
Subject Subject ("Important message")
TextFile Full path and name of text file to send (CC.txt)
Directory Where to put the PKT file(s) ($INBOUND|MAIL:Inbound/)
HOLD|CRASH Set HOLD|CRASH attributes (not really useful)
ToFQFA FQFA of addressee(s)
List Optional list of addressee(s)
NOCC Skip "CC: [...]" header
NOORIGINAL Don't put any " * Original to [...]"
FORCEINTL Force ^aINTL kludge
CarbonCopy is neither sensitive to the ordering of arguments, nor
case-sensitive.
FROMFQFA defaults to the FQFA found in $SYSNODE. The $SYSNODE
address can be overridden by specifying an address on the command
line.
DIRECTORY could be anywhere on your system, but specifying your
inbound directory is an easy solution, since it will then be up
to your tosser to do the routing. :-) Defaults to $INBOUND or, if
not found, MAIL:Inbound/.
HOLD|CRASH will set the appropriate attributes for the *.PKT
following the keyword. If you're using Foozle as your tosser
this is not really useful, since Foozle will 'strip off' the
attributes and put whatever you've specified in FzI instead.
Anyways, these two keywords are available for those who like. :-)
TOFQFA takes as many node addresses as needed, but if you have a
numerous list, you might like the LIST option: LIST points to a
plain text file with one node address per line. Characters ';'
and '#' can be used for commenting.
FORCEINTL will force a ^aINTL kludge - even if the source and
destination zones are the same. This is popular on some systems.
NOTES
Fully re-entrant ("PURE").
Requires traplist.library V4+.
Runs smoothly under AmigaOS 1.3+.
CarbonCopy replaces all LF (ASCII 10) with CRLF (ASCII 13+10),
but I might implement a REFLOW switch ( la Foozle) in future
versions. If you need this, please lemme know...
CarbonCopy creates a temporary file in T: before creating the
PKTs.
CarbonCopy searches for the NodeList in the directory found in
$NODELIST -- defaults to NODELIST:.
Do NOT abuse this program for netmail bombings! Remember that
the names of the addressees will all be put into each packet
created by CarbonCopy -- and even a small text file might end
up as fairly big PKTs if your list is extensive...!
CarbonCopy is rather big because it's 1.3 compatible. If you
guys wants a smaller - but OS2.0-only - version, please netmail
me! If enough people wants the 2.0 version (who's running 1.3
now, after all?), I'll make it. :-)
