• Network packs

    What .ini commands will handle taking the network pack .zip files and both
    move them to the File Area? currently they just sit in the echomail/in directory.

    You want to enable the Filetoss function and set the options in the stanza.

    36A7D9CC.SA8 fsxinfo.1.zip micronet.zip mininfo.zip unsecure

    Note the fsxinfo.1.zip

    This is because another file by the same name of fsxinfo.zip arrived and your system had not imported the first one, so your BinkP server renamed the new file to fsxinfo.1.zip

    The issue will be the TIC file that also arrived and the same time will be
    set for fsxinfo.zip not the 1.zip version.

    My advice would be to delete the 1.zip file and just wait for the next one to arrive.

    Best, Paul

    OK. I tbink it's all working now.

    All that's left is to figure out the Menu functions. And other odds and ends
    to prettify the beast. In ~35 years of BBSing, I've never tried ANSI graphics.

    ANSi requires a bit of tech and art. Mystic has a simple and small ansi editor built in so you can mess with ansi that way..

    ./mystic -ansi filename.ans
