- 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
