Short: The Complete FileEcho AreaMGR for the Amiga Author: bobw_eng@spherenet.com (Robert Williamson) Uploader: bobw_eng spherenet com (Robert Williamson) Type: comm/fido Architecture: m68k-amigaos Changes: 1.23 A change in config item dequote from selected items to all caused failures to properly parse *EXEC item which contained embedded quotes. ANthing before the first quote was lost. eg: TICKEXEC echo >>log:expand.test "Area:%a File:%n Path:%p" was read and executed as: Area:%a File:%n Path:%p Fixed. Dequote is now only done on config items that have a single quote at the beginning of item. 1.22 added progname@ option for address in SENDCMD,GETHELP,GETSTATUS. this allows redefining the name of the robot program TO which the message will be sent.

AreaMGR is the generic term to describe a program that processes user requests to link and unlink from echos. Although the specification for AreaMGRs as defined in fsc-0057 is for message echos (now referred to as ConfMGR), the syntax has now come to be applied to file echos also. FSC-0057 defines both the minimum command set and extensions to be used for such programs. Additional command extensions as defined by a number of other FileEcho AreaMGRs (such as AllFix and Seal) have also come into common usage. XRaid supports most, if not all, of the minimum command set as well as many of the extensions. An AreaMGR performs four basic FTN functions: - Parses a request from a user to add, remove or list fileechos. - Checks users password and access level. - notifies user of the results of his request. - Updates the filearea configuration. Features: o pure, residentable o multi-ftn o supports BOTH XferQ and Flow File systems o uses XTick config file o advanced config format allows multiple keywords per line o GLOBAL options can be overidden by SITE or AREA options o SITE options can be overidden by SITE's AREA options o SITE and AREA passwords o config report to all or one SITE o extensive command parameter substitution available o configurable commands w/substitution for packing and importing o multiple commands can be defined for all types o displayable SITE config, AREA config and GLOBAL config o notification message for all errors in user request o will also use RoofLog function host if active.
