I have added the current 7plus archive to the C-BBS distribution.
7plus is used to convert binary files into text so that they can be sent
over packet radio networks.
If you receive a set of 7plus files, you use the 'F' command to put them all
into one file in ram: and then use the 7plus extract mode to extract the
7plus files (*.pl) from the messages. You do not have to edit the messages
yourself to remove headers etc.
e.g. if someone has sent you a 7plus file which is in 3 parts and the
message numbers are 415 418 amd 423, then you can give the following
commands to C-BBS. First you use:
f 415 ram:msg
which creates the file. then you use:
f 418 ram:msg a
f 423 ram:msg a
which adds the other two messages on the end of ram:msg. It does NOT matter
if the messages are specified in the correct order. 7plus will extract the
different parts corectly anyway.
Now you use 7plus to extract the compressed files.
7plus ram:msg -x
This will extract the 3 compressed messages and print out their names.
If their names are config.01, config.02, config.03, then to generate the
original file from these 3 you type the CLI command:
7plus config
and it will then recreate the original file for you.
Sending a file can be accomplished by generating one or more 7plus files in
ram: and then using the M command in CBBS to mail the files. E.g. if
you encode a file and it produces two pieces, muf.01 and muf.02, then you
can have C-BBS mail them to, say, VE5OP by using the commands:
mp ve5op ram:muf.01
mp ve5op ram:muf.02
The 'M' command asks for a title. You can also add an @bbs field AFTER the
filename if you wish. e.g. mp ve5op ram:muf.01 @ VE5AGA
