Legal Stuff ----------------- MM_CreateTIC is a utility for Mail Manager by Pino Aliberti to replace the missing, better: not implemented, function Auto-CreateTIC.

This means if you use the program longer than the evaluation period of thirty(30) days, you will have to register. That means you have to send the programmer 10.- DEM and will receive a KeyFile The only condition to use MM_CreateTIC is to accept these few rules. ============================================================================== The autor has no responsibility for problems or the loss of data while using this program !!!!!! It's your own risk. ============================================================================== 1.1 How to register? ------------------------ If you find this programm useful and you want to use it longer than the evaluation period of 30 days, then you should register. You will have to pay 10DM OR 7 US $ to the autor. There is an very simple way to register: you have to execute the file Reg_CreateTIC in the /BIN directory of this distribution.. Be sure that MM is already running, open a shell and enter: "Run /Reg_CreateTIC" [(without quotes, please ;-)]. The program will ask you for some informations. When it is all ok then there will be a registry-Mail in your Netmail-Folder. Please check the Mail and export if it is all right. As soon your Mail arrives at my system AND I find on by bank-account 10DM or 7 US $ from you (Please, don't forgot your name in the bank-order!!), I will build your *personal* *keyfile*, which will work only on *YOUR* system. This file will reside on my System on HOLD. When you have got .key from my system, you have to copy it in the directory MM:Config/ and rename it to MM_CreateTIC.key. 1.3 Author ---------- If you have any suggestions, problems or remarks about this program, or you have found any undocumented feature (some people call that 'bugs'), so let me know it You can reach me in the following way: Ulrich Lammers Am Weidufer 98 39:178/0.0@AmigaNet 28844 Leeste (Bremen) 2:2426/3290.0@FidoNet W-Germany Telefon 0172-5344377 Telefon/Fax 04203-810616 Bankaccount: Bank...........: Sparkasse (Brinkum) Accountnumber..: 12890 Bank-ID........: 29151713 2. Features =========== MM_CreateTIC ... ... will create tickareas in Mailmanager automatically. ... free choice of nodes for the AutoCreate-Feature ... supports TickCommands ... defines all options via *.Cfg ... unlimited number of nodes with the permission of creating new areas. ... AutoADD - full automatical subscribing of nodes/points of new generated areas. 3. Installation =============== 1. Copy the files to the typical MM: directories 2. Edit the .CFG to your needs. 3. Call the program in your Import-script (e.g. MM_ImportPlus.rexx) _before_ executing the Tic-Commands. 4. Usage ======== [Run] MM_CreateTIC 5. Configuration ================ [MM:Config/CreateTIC.Cfg] All Config parameter are explained below. Have a close look at the example-configuration !! 5.1 #INBOUND ============ This is the INBOUND: of MM. We have to look in the *.TIC Files for new TicAreas. Bsp..: #INBOUND Inbound: 5.2 CREATEFOR ,,,,[TickCommand],[ADDNodes] ======================================================================== Here we configure the nodes, which are enabled to create new TickAreas. It is _VERY_ important to seperate the fields by commata. NODE 3D Nodenumber in 3D format of the node which may generate new TickAreas on your System. GROUP This is the group of the new TickArea. It is important that this group exists also in your MM.CFG, because MM would exit with an error. (please have a look to your MM manual. LEVEL Level of the new TickArea. PATH In this path will MM_CreateTic put the directories of the new generated TickAreas. It is important, that the pathname ends with an ':'or an '/'. TICKCOMMAND Here can be set a TickCommand for the new TickArea. See the MM manual for more information aout TickCommands. ADDNODE You can put here some nodes/points which will be linked automatically to the new generated area. !! The format is the same as in MM.Config !! Example 1.: #CREATEFOR 2:2426/3000,FidoNet,30,Files_B:Fido/,Fido_Import,1015 3290.26 .4 .10 In this example node '2:2426/3000' would e enabled to generate new TickAreas. They would all be in GROUP 'FidoNet' with the level '30'. Their directories will e generated in 'Files_B:Fido/' .All of them would use the 'TICKCOMMAND' 'Fido_IMPORT' (a script). Points 26,4,10 and node '2:2426/1015.0' will be automatically linkt to the new TickArea. Simple. Example 2.: #CREATEFOR 2:2426/3000,FidoNet,30,Files_B:Fido/,, The same as above, but here we will use no TickCommand and no single node/point will e linked to the area. 5.3 FILELIST [Path/File],[KEYWORD] ================================== Here we can put the new Tickarea into the config of our filelist-utility. PATH/FILE path & filename of your filelister.CFG KEYWORD Often a keyword is required by the Filelist-generator. You can put it here if you need some. Example : #FILELIST WB:NFLG/NFLG.ALL,DIRECTORY This would, for example, add the line DIRECTORY Files_B:Fido/Nodediffs to the CFG-file 'WB:NFLG/NFLG.CFG'. 7.
