This small program is designed to manipulate the YAPPLBL.SYS file which is normally found in the SYSTEM directory of the F6FBB BBS system. This file contains the real DOS path and description for disk files which have been titled using the FBB LABEL command.  It is these titles which are shown to users when they use the LIST command whilst in FBB DOS.  These labels are also used by my REQDIR program to send amateurs requesting a directory listing a description of each file.  This facility is SysOp configurable The file is not written in straight ASCII format and is therefore not easily readable A utility program, TLABEL, is provided with the BBS.  This program  is used to remove entries relating to files which no longer exist from the YAPPLBL.SYS. Sometimes,  it is possible for "rogue entries to remain in YAPPLBL.SYS which serve to slow down operation of the LIST  command and  also  the  REQDIR  server. In addition, if the SysOp has to move several disk files to a new directory, it  can  be  quite a  chore  to relabel  each  one  of  these  files from within the BBS EDITLBL will allow this to be done more simply

REQFIL & REQDIR are file servers that allow users to upload and download files are well as receive directories and directory listings (as set up by the Sysop).  These servers are intended to mimic the FILEX server (that is a part of the W0RLI BBS) and make it easier for users to access files by not having to deal with manuvering through FBBDOS or worrying about pathes.  Another advantage to these servers is the Sysop defines and labels the file areas.  This prevents users from wandering through your hard disk and allows directories to be labeled (max 80 characters).  The servers also use the R: routing lines to find the home BBS of the originator of the message to the server.  Other features of these servers are A message to the SysOp when an upload is received stating who uploaded the file, where it is located and when the upload occured Credit is given at the beginning of a file to the person who uploaded it Users will receive various messages for:  successful uploads duplicate file names (for uploads), inexistant directories, etc The configuration file is simular to the portion of the file that configures the file sections on the W0RLI BBS (last time I looked The text used in responses from the server can be easily changed allowing for customization/other languages Variables are available to include variable info into the reply messages When requesting a directory listing, it is possible to set a filter using wildcards such as *.TXT The servers do not use as much memory as they used to There can be practically an unlimited number of files in a directory Previously there was a limit of about 1000 or less Long replies can be split into a Sysop settable number of lines Using the R95 Split format GET and REQFIL no longer need a subdirectory letter when downloading, just enter the name of the file you want Drives/directries not set up in the .CFG file are accessable for download Sysop settable with multiple security levels

GETUSER is a simple program that extracts a list of all the callsigns from INF.SYS into a file called USERS.DAT 

Uploaded Sat May 18 2024 17:29:12

This program interfaces the FBB BBS system, with the QRZ CD ROM by Walnut Creek for real-time lookups by call only. GETQRZ.EXE is the interface program, and needs to be installed in the PG subdirectory, normally \FBB\PG\. GETQRZ.CFG can be placed in the same directory as GETQRZ.EXE or in a directory in the DOS path such as \FBB\BIN\. Once FBB is started, the PG programs will be noticed, and the program name becomes a valid command. So all a user need do to enter the server is type GETQRZ call where call is the callsign of the call the user wants looked up. The Sysop may change the name of the program, thus changing the name of the command. The rule to follow here is the program and configuration files MUST have the same names, with extensions of EXE and CFG The GETQRZ.CFG file needs to be edited with site specific data. The scripts are in a file named in the CFG file. Sysops may create new files which will switch with the FBB OL command. For example, a user may create an ANSI script file, and list it in the CFG file in the same order as in the LANGUE.SYS. If a user chooses #2 ANSI for the FBB display, he will get the #2 ANSI display for the server also. The user may also add foreign language scripts, if he has the talent. A limited set of FBB $variables is supported. There is a list at the end of the GETQRZ.ENG file for reference Most of the configuration file is self-explanatory

MAKENDX is a small utility for automatically building ASCII index files based on the DOCS server index files.  These ASCII index files can then be downloaded by users or REQFIL requests.  This process relies on the the DOCS directory structure being overlaid on top of the normal USER directory structure.  This means that all files accessible using the W and D commands, REQDIR and REQFIL servers and the FBBDOS server will also be available within the DOCS server.  I find it easier to just maintain one set of directories containing files, so overlaying the two structures doesn't worry me.  The big advantage is that if the DOCS server index is maintained, then the ASCII index can be automatically updated by MAKENDX MAKENDX reads the @@.LBL files created by the DOCS server and writes an ASCII index file (named '!INDEX') into the directory for all files that can be found in the directory.  A new @@.LBL file is created that contains only those files which exist in the directory.  The !INDEX and new @@.LBL files are sorted based on the file name.  The new @@.LBL file is given a DOS hidden' attribute so that it is not visible to users using the normal directory commands.  The DOCS server will still find the file, but be aware that the file will not normally be visible, even to the sysop using the normal DOS commands.  If you try to delete a USERS/DOCS directory and find that you can't, it may be a hidden @@.LBL file MAKENDX.EXE must be run from the main FBB directory (the one which contains the INIT.SRV file).  The program needs no parameters, as it uses the INIT.SRV file to determine where the default DOCS server directory is.  This directory and all directories below it directory are scanned for @@.LBL files MAKENDX assumes that the DOCS and USERS directories are overlaid (otherwise there is no point in producing the !INDEX files as there would be no way to access them It is quite safe to run MAKENDX from the APPEL.BAT file (I run it just after EPURMESS) to build new indexes each night.  If you keep the DOCS indexes up to date each day, then this is an easy way to keep the ASCII indexes up to date

This software is used to index the FBB WP information for use by NK3T callbook servers In order for the servers to use the WP info in a speedy manner, the WP information is indexed. QTH_WP.EXE is used to index a copy of the WP database file.  The original changes constantly, so insert the copy statement and program statement in your APPEL.BAT, so it updates daily when housekeeping takes place. Renaming the WP.OLD instead of copying the WP.SYS saves a few meg of drive space. The file used for WP lookups is NK3T_WP.DAT, and the QTH_WP.EXE program creates a file called NK3T_WP.NDX which is the index file. These are unique file names, and must not be changed or the program will not recognize the information. See the included APPEL.BAT for an example way of running the index program during cleanup. To seed the system the first time use F8 software reboot, and choose housekeeping.  The index file is 11 bytes per record, so it will not take up too large a space. If the index is not created, the program will run without it. If you are also running SAMQTH.EXE, it is the same WP index file and may be shared

In order to use the program, if you have such a problem, you must keep the DIRMES.SYS file and all the MAIL directories.  I backed all that up before I reloaded the system from a previous backup... This program will read the DIRMES.SYS file that has been saved and will create a header for each PN message file.  It will then read that message file and add it to the output file thus creating an import file in the FBB import format.  When completed, you import that file and have Recovered the message files...

As a sysop I've often been asked "I know how to send a bulletin to everyone at a BBS, but how do I send a bulletin to everyone in xxxxxx".  xxxxxx might be a large city in Europe, a state in America or the whole of Australia.  Sometimes it's to trace relatives in the area, other times to find out details for a forthcoming holiday in that part of the world. Whatever the reason people often want to address bulletins to different regions This question must obviously be on the minds of many users.  How often do you see messages to 'ALL @ EU' or even worse, 'ALL @ WW' where someone is trying to attract the attention of users in just a small area of Europe or the world Whenever I am asked I normally recommend that my users send a message to a BBS sysop in the relevant area asking if they will re-distribute the message as a bulletin using a local bulletin grouping.  This has been tried and sometimes it works.  I guess that most sysops will help if possible, but it does add yet another job to the already busy sysop's life Some people say that it's possible to send bulletins to countries using the relevant hierarchical address, but apart from leaving a 'snail trail' of unwanted bulletins behind at each BBS that forwards the bulletin it also worries me because I don't know for certain that all countries forward based on the hierarchical address for the country.  In the UK we DO forward based on our country address (GBR), but I've seen people using '@ USA.NA and I think I've heard that in America the correct address is 'ALLUS' or USABBS The REDIST server for the F6FBB BBS software now solves that problem.  It allows users to address a personal message to a server at a remote BBS which will translate it into a bulletin to be forwarded using one of a number of local areas defined by the remote BBS sysop.  The sender can choose the approximate size of area for the bulletin by sending the message to the correct server I have recently heard that a REDIST compatible server is to be released for use with the W0RLI BBS software.  Unfortunately I am not able to build a list of W0RLI-type BBSs that support the server, so I can't guarantee where you can use it

As of version 5.15 of the FBB BBS the EPURMESS program returns messages which cannot be forwarded due to a bad or unknown route Or sysop laziness :-) Local messages however are simply killed after expiring, without notifying the sender of the message. I wrote RETMAIL to fix this problem RETMAIL returns two types of messages o Messages for known users which are about to expire o Messages for unknown users which are about to expire The expiry of unread pmail is handled by RETMAIL itself, not by EPURMESS RETMAIL scans the message database (DIRMES.SYS) for messages with type 'P status 'N' and no @BBS field. (i.e. local unread p-mail) It then checks if the callsign for whom the message is has an entry in the users database INF.SYS). If the message is expired it will be returned to the originator and the message-status will be changed to 'K'. (i.e. killed The locations of the various files are taken from INIT.SRV. RETMAIL should be started from the directory where the INIT.SRV file resides The two expiry limits are given as command-line arguments to RETMAIL. The first argument is the number of days after which a message for an unknown user will expire. The second argument is the number of days for message to a known user. For example RETMAIL 7 100 This will return messages for unknown users after 7 days, and unread messages for known users after 100 days If RETMAIL is given a third argument it will operate in debug mode It doesn't matter what the third argument is. In debug mode no messages are killed, and the output is written to the file RETMAIL.DBG instead of the MAIL.IN file. I recommend testing RETMAIL in debug mode before using it in Real Life Situations (tm RETMAIL should be started from within your APPEL.BAT (or whatever name it has on your system). Don't use RETMAIL while the BBS is running It's safe to run it in debug mode though

This program is intended to display in a graphical format, the forward files of the FBB BBS system. Place the SCANFWD.EXE in the FBB\SYSTEM\ subdirectory, which is where the BBS.SYS and FORWARD.SYS are normally located. The display shows all valid BBS files that exist in the forward file. The BBS names are parsed from the A lines in the forward files. Program output may be redirected to a DOS file, or the printer with the DOS redirection switch Switch commands may be abbreviated, L for Long, etc. The output shows an asterisk (*) if there is a match, and an exclamation mark if there is an exception

SPLIT.EXE is a program intended to work with FBB, to split up large messages into smaller parts. The subject is altered to show it is split, as well as a continue line appended to the end of the message. A message is also sent to the originator using the file COMPLAIN as the text of the message. In the case of a WP update, it will be split without altering the subject, or adding to the message body

TRASFILT is short for "TRASHFILTER", a kind of "garbage-filter There is a lot of mails in our net that has very interesting Subjects, but when you read it, it is just "garbage" or completely emty, or have a lot of "tttttttttttttttttt"'s in it. This filter puts HOLD of such mails, and the sysop have to "RE" theese mails read them and kill if there is nothing of value The filter also puts Swapped BID's on HOLD. Unfortunately there is a few EA-stations that have the FBB listnumber as a BID in the R:lines, so chech if it is really swapped before you possibly kill it The filter uses a "multi-filter" that is made by SM6GQW It's named M_FILTER.EXE och runs all m_filter's that are setup in \FBB\M_FILTER.CFG If you don't use any other M_Filter than TRASFILT, you can rename TRASFILT.EXE to M_FILTER.EXE and put it in \FBB\BIN

REQHB reads the white page update message texts (ie:MESS.WP). It looks for any question marks in the update lines for US and Canadian calls, if it finds any it then it accesses HamBase and fills in the question mark fields with the needed data from HamBase if any).  WPHB will not replace data that already exists in the white pages with that from HamBase, it only replaces the ?'s if possible

One always wants the most complete White Pages database possible and it seems that someone else always has more info in their WP database.  They may offer to send a copy of it to you for you to replace your smaller WP database with, but then you would loose any info that the larger database may not have.  My solution to this problem is the WPCVT program.  What this program will do is take the larger WP database that someone sent you, process it and turn it into (a) WP update message(s) to be imported into your BBS where the BBS will ADD the new info into its existing WP database
