This archive contains 2 files:
Brnkmail.com, which is BrunkMail v1.0 and can be put after your logstat script
(or anywhere else that you might want it) and will allow a user to scan the mail
that came in the night before for personal messages.
and
Fidodoor.com, which is Fido Express v1.0 and is the main script that calls
fidodoor into action, I put mine as an option on the main menu.
I have made both script EXTREMELY easy to set up... Why you ask? Because your
going to have enough headaches with binkley itself.
AFTER you have gotten the paths in the right place for both BinkleyTerm ST and
FidoDoor, then simply run these scripts from wherever you wish... The first
time you run both of the programs they will automatically go into the
initialization mode (only if you have an command_level of 32!!!), from there,
simply follow the prompts and the scripts will install themselves...
note: on Brunkmail, the user will be prompted if he wishes to scan for new
messages, at this point, if a user with Command_level 32 types '$', it will go
into the Sysop mode so that the setup can be changes, this script will also
create several files of it's own.
BrunkMail will only scan messages that are AFTER the renumber mark, so the way
to set your system up is to renumber messages before you get your daily packet.
if you renumber after your packet, BrunkMail won't find a thing...
*HOW TO SET UP BINKLEY TO WORK WITH EXPRESS*
1. Setting up your modem
The problem with express is that it does a DTR drop after you run your endcall
script, the problem with this is that it hangs up the caller when binkley drops
to the BBS. How do you solve this? simply turn of the DTR, I use AT&D1, this
sets the modem not to hang up when it gets a DTR change. How does it hang up
you ask? Well, first get the files MODEMON.TOS and MODEMOFF.TOS (they are
included in the Fidodoor package that is available on my BBS), Where ever you
have a DISCONNECT in a script file, simply replace it with:
TOS MODEMOFF.TOS
TOS MODEMON.TOS ;include the pathname of course
also add this file to your LOGOFF script and you should have no problems...
2. your reset modem file
this is simple:
ATO
that's all that should be there...
3. your BINKLEY.CFG file
Your INIT modem line should read:
ATH| ATZ| ATH|
easy enough?
4. ENDCALL.SCR
the last entry should be...
CD = File_ChgDir 'your path to the DIR which contains FIDOMAIL.PRG'
GEM 'FIDOMAIL.PRG'
CD = File_ChgDir 'the path to your BBS'
That's all there is to it, This will boot up Binkley Term...
Suggestions:
1. if you haven't got binkley working allready, then get an MSDOS SysOp
(preferably the one you will be polling for mail) to help you.
2. if you need more help with setting this up (Binkley/Fidodoor/FidoExpress
BrunkMail) then give me a call on my BBS and I'll help you out.
3. if you know of anyone who has a better way to do it then LET ME KNOW!

PLEA: if your a programmer and you think you could write a program that 'Fakes'
a DTR signal to the modem for about 5 seconds, then PLEASE do so...
