Short: 1.02b: Fido Node tosser with really good Areafix and nodelist support
Author: schmitzj@trier.fh-rpl.de (Juergen Schmitz)
Uploader: schmitzj@trier.fh-rpl.de (Juergen Schmitz)
Type: comm/fido
Requires OS2.0 or better
Since points use better mail editors than nodes, nodes started using
"fake points" to get the comfort of this editors. Maybe this worked
fine but it's only a hack and was complicated.

The Fido Mailtosser System JS_TOSS
====================================
JS_TOSS was developed on the fact that there was nothing as it before.
It is simply a tosser no mail editor and has no message base. This has
simple reasons: There are already good mail editors which have their
message base. The other problem is that mailbox programs have also
their own message base which are completely different from the once of
the mail editors. So all we need is a tosser that allows the sysop to
use any editor he wants, has full node support to make life easier,
like areafix and routing.
So JS_TOSS was born. This diagram shows the exact position of JS_TOSS
in you node system:

Features
--------
- unlimited number of zones (i.e. nets like Fido, AmigaNet, etc)
- unlimited number of links (up/downlinks, points)
- routing table for every zone with wildcards
(e.g. "ROUTE 2:24*/*.* 2:24/1.0" will route every netmail for
region 24 to 2:24/1.0)
- nodelist routing (route netmails to the node's HUB)
- unlimited number of mail robots (e.g. areafix, file tick managers)
which can have any name you want
- buildin areafix with many features
- unlimited number of mail tracker (e.g. to check for allowed
addresses, to change destination addresses because of new address)
- AKA's unlimited for every zone (e.g. if you have different nodes
for your different lines)
- password in message packet header
- enable or disable file attach for nodes or points
- add new public echos automatically
- forward request
- individual (un)packer for every up/downlink
- set links readonly for echos
- lock links from echos
- unused forward echos are removed
and more you may find out...
**********************************************************************
Changes in 1.02b
----------------
- BugFix, point's mail to areafix where sometimes set to BBS so a non
existing BBS config file for this point was read
Changes in 1.02a
----------------
- unregistered 1.02 didn't run
Changes in 1.02
---------------
- added memory pooling function for users of OS2.0
(JS_TOSS uses many small memory blocks so this will help protect
memory fragmentation)
Routines were imported from my new layout.lib!
- Forward echos will now be removed if not user requesting it
- some too short strings made longer and limit check added (this
caused some crashed especially in Areafix)
- TRACK command with given destination address didn't work
* some small mail robots written and added to the distribution to
demonstrate the easy usage of JS_Toss mail robots
Changes in 1.01
---------------
- Trouble with GEcho - has its own way of thinking of correct mail
packets
- password may be places in message packet exported to links
- now supporting sending unpacket mail packets in
one .OUT/.HUT file
- internal area handling completely rewritten, now
autonew echos and unused or unknown echos better
working, zone config file better used
- echos only listed in area config files but not in
zone config no longer allowed and supported
- some more internal changes and optimations that
made JS_TOSS again much bytes smaller
- wrong Sysop name pattern could crash JS_Toss :(
- added destination address to TRACK command
- new key files required!!
- added 2nd wildcard "!" which means "all expect zero"
(e.g. for all points but not for sysop)
Changes in 1.00b
----------------
sorry again! Tosser didn't work with CPUs that had its vector tables
starting from address 0 :(
Changes in 1.00a
----------------
sorry, sometimes version 1.00 didn't work with OS 2.0 because of an
really ugly bug in the ReadArgs() handling function :-(
