Short: 1.01: 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. ********************************************************************** Update with bigs fixed and new features ********************************************************************** 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: +------------------+ +------------------+ | THE SYSOP | | THE MAILBOX | +------------------+ +------------------+ |Using an editor he| |Mailbox Software | |likes (Spot, April| |with its own | |PM or others) | |tosser and editors| +------------------+ +------------------+ |Still reachable by| |Every user is | |the node address! | |reachable by the | |No fake point! | |node address! | +------------------+ +------------------+ own in/outbound own in/outbound \ \ / / \ \ / / \ \ / / \ \ +---------------+ / / \ \ | JS_TOSS | / / \ \ +---------------+ / / \ \ |doing complete | / / \ |echo and mail | / |routing and | |point handling | +---------------+ | | | | "normal" in/outbound +---------------------+ | the world | +---------------------+ |Up/Downlinks - using | |TrapDoor or something| |else | +---------------------+ 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 and more you may find out... ********************************************************************** 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 :-( ********************************************************************** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Fido and FidoNet are registered marks of Tom Jennings and Fido Software. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 3352 1002 70.1% 08-May-95 19:40:00 +Routing.doc 92 75 18.4% 08-May-95 19:40:00 +Config_42_100_3_0 49 49 0.0% 08-May-95 19:40:00 +Default_Config_42 101 82 18.8% 08-May-95 19:40:00 +fwd_42_1_1_0 100 94 6.0% 08-May-95 19:40:00 +fwd_42_2_1_0 256 136 46.8% 08-May-95 19:40:00 +Zone_42.cfg 29464 16407 44.3% 08-May-95 19:40:00 +Register 5601 2333 58.3% 08-May-95 19:40:00 +deutsch 5106 1998 60.8% 08-May-95 19:40:00 +english 8149 2978 63.4% 08-May-95 19:40:00 +Areafix.doc 628 274 56.3% 08-May-95 19:40:00 +libs.info 628 276 56.0% 08-May-95 19:40:00 +bin.info 628 274 56.3% 08-May-95 19:40:00 +example.info 1292 564 56.3% 08-May-95 19:40:00 +Install.info 628 280 55.4% 08-May-95 19:40:00 +Languages.info 838 333 60.2% 08-May-95 19:40:00 +Register.info 1131 349 69.1% 08-May-95 19:40:00 +JS_Config.doc.info 628 275 56.2% 08-May-95 19:40:00 +doc.info 1131 347 69.3% 08-May-95 19:40:00 +Areafix.doc.info 1131 347 69.3% 08-May-95 19:40:00 +Config-Files.doc.info 1131 351 68.9% 08-May-95 19:40:00 +JS_TOSS.doc.info 1131 348 69.2% 08-May-95 19:40:00 +Mail-Robots.doc.info 1131 348 69.2% 08-May-95 19:40:00 +Routing.doc.info 1131 348 69.2% 08-May-95 19:40:00 +Wildcards.doc.info 1457 740 49.2% 08-May-95 19:40:00 +JS_Toss.cfg 8845 3375 61.8% 08-May-95 19:40:00 +Mail-Robots.doc 10053 2617 73.9% 08-May-95 19:40:00 +Install 2852 1181 58.5% 10-May-95 15:26:54 +JS_Config.doc 23476 11550 50.8% 10-May-95 16:53:12 +js_tools.library 1088 410 62.3% 04-Jun-95 18:43:32 +.displayme 1166 481 58.7% 15-May-95 22:54:08 +JS_Config.info 14859 4273 71.2% 11-May-95 17:53:44 +Config-Files.doc 628 274 56.3% 04-Jun-95 18:56:20 JS_Tosser.info 3313 1337 59.6% 22-Jun-95 20:27:04 +Wildcards.doc 12068 7403 38.6% 22-Jun-95 20:11:18 +JS_CheckAddress 31204 16099 48.4% 22-Jun-95 20:11:14 +JS_Config 91596 45953 49.8% 22-Jun-95 20:11:08 +JS_Toss 21896 8330 61.9% 22-Jun-95 20:12:44 +JS_TOSS.doc -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 289958 133891 53.8% 26-Jun-95 22:14:12 38 files
