PCBoard FIDO .pkt fixer This is FREEWARE! If you find a problem with it contact SYSOP@1:268/348 and if I have time I might fix it. Problem: When PCBoard 15.21 tosses outgoing netmail it sets the address of the .pkt to the address of the netmail contained within. This may cause a problem with some tossers. It has with my hub which uses WildMail. My hub dumps the .pkt because it is not addressed to him. Solution: FIXPKT will read FIDOQUE.DAT, determine the .pkt files that are going to your hub and make sure the .pkt file is adressed to it. I do all my tossing as an event. Tell PCB NOT to process outgoing mail. Do it as an event. DO NOT USE ALT-F EITHER!! After the mail is tossed out, run FIXPKT. FIXPKT will read FIDOQUE.DAT, determine the .pkt files that are going to your hub and make sure the .pkt file is adressed to it. (in theory anyway ) My event batch file: g: cd\pcb\node2 pcboardm /scan fixpkt g:\pcb\fixpkt.cfg cd\pcb\node%pcbnode% board NOTE: fixpkt g:\pcb\fixpkt.cfg ^^location of .cfg file My fixpkt.cfg: 1 268 324 G:\PCB\MAIN\FIDOQUE.DAT G:\PCB\fixpkt.log G:\FIDO\BACK LINE1: My hub's zone LINE2: My hub's net LINE3: My hub's system LINE4: FULL path and filename of FIDOQUE.DAT LINE5: FULL path and filename of logfile LINE6: A directory (no trailing \) to backup "prefixed" .pkts to ....just in case something stupid happens.
