Hello Users of TSTHOST,

I did do some tests to make TSTHOST decoding the recveived 7+ from the
7PDATA.FWD file, automaticly .
I do know there are some other hinst and tips, but perhaps not thisone,
that's why i want to share you my experience.

What did i do!!!!

Well in TSTHOST.CFG i did put below the line OTHER SETUP the para:
7PCOPY ON

this will take care that a file will be made in the TSTHOST-dir called
7PDATA.FWD.

Also i did put the line :" RU CRON.BAT" i will explain later.

Than you must add a line into the PMS SETUP section.
SER +AUTO7P


Save and Exit the TSTHOTS.CFG file.

Now you must write an batch file (by copy con CRON.BAT) called CRON.BAT in the
TSTHOST-dir 

Put these line's in it:

IF NOT EXIST C:\TSTHOST\7PDATA.FWD GOTO END
AUTO7P INQUIRYFILE C:\TSTHOST\7PDATA.FWD
AUTO7P DELETIME 14
:END


Now you must get the AUTO7P programe made by IK1GKJ. I am using version
1.30 from 03-23-93.
Put this EXE file also into the TSTHOST-dir, and edit the AUTO7P.CFG

i will add my CFG file belowe as example .
=============================================================================#
# CONFIGURATION FILE FOR AUTO7P.CFG
# Not more of 78 characters for line is allowed.
#
# Callsiign of the BBS, without SSID
  NL3RTD
#
# Base directory for the server, don't forget the '\' at the end.
  C:\TSTHOST\USERS\
#
# Name of the BBS import file, 
  C:\tsthost\tsthost.in
#
# Directory where auto7p put the converted files, if you put \AUTO7P\
# the files remain in the auto7p working directory.
# don't forget the '\' at the end.
  C:\tsthost\users\
#
# Callsign where address the auto7p sysop messages
  NL1MAL
#
# Max split lenght for the import file, in Kbytes (20-1000), 0=no split
60
#
# Global download flag, 0 disable, only flag 1 or 2 my download data
# 1 enable, only 0 flag cannot download files.
0
#
# The other rows are the specified enable flags, in the form
# CALLSIGN FLAG, the callsign without SSID, the flag is 0,1,2, and means:
#    0 the user cannot download callsign (valid for download flag enabled)
#    1 the user may download files (only for his callsign)
#    2 no restrictions apply.

  IK1MSL  2
  IK1RKU  1

So well what is so special about this configuration!!!!

Well as you have set up TSTHOST now, it will run the CRON.BAT every time
you start you TSTHOST and also every our.
If the file 7PDATA.FWD exists it will decode the containing 7+ files.
Compleet file's will be put into you USER-dir, and the incomplete file's
will be put into an dir C:\AUTO7P. (7+ parts)

Every time AUTO7P will be started it will olso check the file's into this
directory, if the last received parts can be deoded into an complete file
(zip,arj.txt etc etc).

The line AUTO7P DELETIME 14 will take care that incompleet 7+ parts
will be deleted after 14 day's in the AUTO7P directory.
Why should you wait longer????? if it is not compleet in 14 day's howe long
should it last than????.

If it did succeed to decode an 7+ , your mail indicator will be blinking,
because there will be an mail to you callsign, and it will tell you:
Titel TO> Auto7p Report.
Decoding succesful ! *****.***,  *** bytes.


But why run this feature you will think perhaps, well AUTO7P will now also
automaticly send 7+ ERROR MAIL to ask for an correction file.
Why else do we have computers for hi hi hi.


I think you can find the AUTO7P programme in the FBB-DOS section in your
H-BBS, because a lot of FBB-bbs will run it themselves  because it was 
writen for the F6FBB bbs programme.


Oke i wish you a lot of succes with this hint/tip, and i hope it will be 
usefull to you, and if you know another way  please let's share it with other 
TSTHOST users.
