B WaterGate tries to keep the file handle to an outgoing mailbundle
A open for as long as possible, saving the time needed to open and
A close a file. When WaterGate runs out of handles, it temporarily
= closes the bundle that received the smallest amount of mail.

> Make sure you allocate a matching FILES= in your @CONFIG.SYS@
@ Since WaterGate needs some additional internal file handles you
B should use the following formula to calculate the correct number:

)    FILES = 20 + (10 + Max. Open Handles)

I If you have some @XMS@ memory free, you might want to toggle this option
D to ON. WaterGate then tries to load its Area, User and Subscription
E databases into @XMS@. If not enough memory is available only some or
, none of the databases use the @XMS@ memory.╗
< This directory is used to store messages that are too large
A to process properly. When WaterGate runs out of available memory
A storage it copies the message to this directory, for the @sysop@
 to look at.

= This usually happens if someone tries to send a encoded file
B or large document through the mail in one piece. Depending on how
C much memory WaterGate has at startup, it should be able to process
 messages upto 200Kb in size.
Fido AKA's Global Help╘
- A fido address consists of at most 5 parts :

"       zone:net/node.point@@domain

' Valid combinations are:       Example:

?       zone:net/node.point@@domain      2:512/17.6@@fidonet.org
=       zone:net/node@@domain            2:512/17@@fidonet.org
/       zone:net/node                   2:512/17
/            net/node                     512/17

D For compatibility with older Fidonet Technology programs that don't
E understand points, you can optionally specify a fakenet. For example
J if you are 2:512/17, and specify 1017 as your fakenet, mail from 2:1017/6
( is internally converted into 2:512/17.6

J Please contact your network coordinator for information on your network's
 policy on fakenet numbers.¬
C Select the Fido address you want to use for gatewaying messages to
F and from Usenet. Gated Echomail messages originate from this address,
F and netmail messages destined for your Gateway user must be addressed
 to this address.

G The default setting is "@UUCP@", most commonly used by other programs.
: Other often used settings are "@GateWay@" and "@Usenet@".

3 Press #PgDn# for information on the @GateWay User@26
B Select the "user" you want to use for converting messages between
A Fido and Usenet. Messages sent to a usenet site must be destined
? to this user. The actual destination address must be placed at
 the first line of the message.

 Example of a netmail message :

$   From: John Doe          2:512/301
%   To  : @UUCP@              2:512/17

2 Press #PgUp# for information on the @GateWay AKA@1 Θ
F Set this option to YES if you want WaterGate to scan if the TO: field
H of a Fido message to the UUCP GateWay contains a fully qualified domain
G address. This may not always be possible, because a domain address may
F be longer longer than the maximum length of a Fidonet TO: field. When
G this is the case, you can still use 'normal' way of putting the domain
( address on the first line of a message.

 The following are equivalent:

)  To  : Jaap@@Aap.Nl            2:280/802

D By default WaterGate will add #FSC-0035# compatible @REPLY@ headers
B to a message. If your editor can process them correctly, replying
6 to a message originating in Usenet becomes very easy.

B If such is not the case, WaterGate is also capable of writing the
@ senders address in the Fido @From@ field, or as a separate line
 in the translated message.

< WaterGate currently supports both @BINKLEY@ and @FRONTDOOR@

A @BINKLEY@    systems use flag files in the outbound directory to
B            indicate that there is mail ready for a certain system
; @FRONTDOOR@  systems write netmail messages, with attached
&            files for a certain system≈
J Because a lot of the older messages processors are limited in the maximum
E size of the messages they can process, you can enter a maximum size.
< WaterGate will split oversized messages into smaller parts.

" The default value is 12000 bytes.»
H Newly created Fido users are connected by the default to the groups you
J select here. Of course you can can re-assign a user to any group you want
 using the user editor.\
H When converting messages from Usenet format into Fido format, WaterGate
D converts the information stored in the Usenet headers into a format
H readable by Fido systems. Optionally, it also copies some of the Usenet
C header lines to the beginning of the Fido message. Use this option
; to select which fields you want to keep in a Fido message.i
? Select the Usenet fields you want to keep in the newly created
? Fido messages. The selected fields are copied to the beginning
 of a Fido message.

# A message is considered @bad@ if :

/  1) It is in an area the user has no access to
"  2) It is send in an unknown area
Φ
G If you want WaterGate to link messages in areas that received new mail
E during a run, set this option to YES. If you run WaterGate often you
H probably save time by setting this option to NO, and run @WtrUtil LINK@
 once a day.
I Toggle this option to YES if you want WaterGate to strip @SEEN-BY@ lines
A from the messages that are imported into you local message base.
J Please note that re-sending messages without their proper @SEEN-BY@ lines
4 is considered a capital crime in a lot of networks.+
B If you want WaterGate to replace tearlines from locally generated
? messages with its own, toggle this option to ON. Tearlines are
; also added to messages converted from Usenet into Fidonet.

 Note :

C For the @Unregistered@ users of WaterGate, this setting is ignored
 and defaults to YES.┤
F The default number of messages that are kept in a local message base.
J This number is used when new areas are created. Use @0@ if you don't want
 to remove messages by number.▒
F The default number of days a message is kept in a local message base.
J This number is used when new areas are created. Use @0@ if you don't want
 to remove messages by age.π
D Select the type of message base you want to use for storing netmail
H messages. You should normaly set this to @*.MSG@ for compatibility with
D other programs. If you set the mailer type to @FRONTDOOR@ this must
 be @*.MSG@
F A directory pointing to your netmail directory, or if you don't use a
H @*.MSG@ base type a full path (without extension!) to the netmail base.

	 Example:

0  C:\BBS\NETMAIL\              for a *.MSG  base
0  C:\BBS\MSGBASE\NET           for a Squish base
╨
H Select the type of base for your @Bad@ messages, if your message editor
H is capable of reading Squish areas you might want to set this option to
C SQUISH because this base type is capable of removing messages that
E exceed the maximum set for an area. This way your system won't drown
; in bad messages if large numbers of messages are received.

? If you don't want to store bad messages, select the NONE type.

( Press #PgUp# for @Help on Bad Messages@1?
E This should be a full path to a directory for the @*.MSG@ base type,
B or it should point to a message base file (without extension!) in
 a existing directory.

	 Example:

'   C:\BBS\BAD\              for @*.MSG@
2   C:\BBS\MSGBASE\BAD       for @Squish@ and @JAM@

( Press #PgUp# for @Help on Bad Messages@1.
? If you want WaterGate to create a local message base for every
D area that is created by a known node using the '@Auto Area Create@'
< option, set this option to the base type for the new areas.
> If you set it to '@none@', no new local message bases will be
B created. The Message base name is created based on the area name,
- by calculating a unique 8 character area id.

 For example :

  Auto Create Type  = Squish
(  Default new path  = D:\WTRGATE\SQUISH\

4 A new area called @P_CHATTEN@ has its path set to :

  D:\WTRGATE\SQUISH\44DDC8A3
⌠
C This directory is used when creating new message areas, usually it
@ points to the subdirectory where your message files are stored.
J So when choosing a message base type for a new area, you only have to add
 the filename for the new base.╒
G Select the type of area you want to use for your @duplicate@ messages.
D If your message editor is capable of reading Squish areas you might
D want to set this option to SQUISH because this base type is capable
C of removing messages that exceed the maximum set for an area. This
@ way your system won't drown in bad messages if large numbers of
 messages are received.

B Normal operation would be to set this option to @NONE@ and remove
 all duplicate messages.
E This should be a full path to a directory for the @*.MSG@ base type,
B or it should point to a message base file (without extension!) in
 a existing directory.

	 Example:

)   C:\MAIL\DUPE\              for @*.MSG@
4   C:\MAIL\MSGBASE\DUPE       for @Squish@ and @JAM@
