People say that there can be more than 250 message and file areas, how? A. If and when you do need more areas than 250 areas, you go into the RACONFIG under Manager, go over to the File Areas, and then hit PGDN to you reach 250, then all you do is hit the INS key, and 1 more area will be added, you do the same with the message areas. Q. I just switched to RA 2.01, and my message base doesnt allow me to read new messages. A. Try to check your batch file that runs your maintence, look for the RAMSG option in there, if you just switched, it should appear like this: RAMSG -P RAMSG -L RAMSG -I or something similiar, what is wrong here is, RA 2.00, doesnt allow the -P, -L, -I options anymore, now you MUST spell out the option what you would like RAMSG to do. For Example: ramsg link -clean -hudson ramsg pack -purge -delete -recover -renumber -overwrite -link Q. How do I send mail to EVERY USER? {+} Registered Command A. This is not to hard of a task. MAKE SURE THAT THE GROUP MAIL IS SET TO SYSOP LEVEL, or every user will send mass mail to everyuser, once they find how to do it! Area 15 - þ Sysop's Mass Mail þ From: Eric Staufer (or your name) To: @all Subject: Then just enter the message. When it asks you for a a Return Receipt, put (N)o. Or you will add on a good size more mail. I have roughly 396 users (as of 12/11/93) and I had to send this 4k message to everyone, it ended up for me to use around 1.3 megs to send all the mail out! Imagine if you requested a return receipt! - 3 - °±²Û File Area Commands Û²±° Q. I just upgraded from 1.11 to 2.0x, and how do I get uploads to work? A. Simple, you must first go into the menu manager in the RACONFIG, find your upload option and then change the optional data from the path to the area number, in which you have the New Upload area. 1.11> Optional Data: d:\uploads 2.0x> Optional Data: 11 Q. People say that there can be more than 250 message and file areas, how? A. If and when you do need more areas than 250 areas, you go into the RACONFIG under Manager, go over to the File Areas, and then hit PGDN to you reach 250, then all you do is hit the INS key, and 1 more area will be added, you do the same with the message areas. Q. How do I install a CD-ROM disc, that does have Files.BBS? A. First, you must make areas in the RACONFIG, that match the number of areas you have on your CD. For Example, if you were installing Night Owl v9.0, they have areas on the disc like 001a - 052a or something close, (make sure you know what area 001a is, like Games A-Z, or something. You should set your areas to like this.

CD-ROM has to be set for YES, and the NEW has to be set for NO, if set to yes, it would search this area in the NEW FILES SEARCH Q. How do I import descriptions from the CD to the file manager? A. Well, seeing how you should have already setup all the CD file areas, you should now run GENFBASE, be sure that you remember the area numbers that begin with your CD areas and the area that ends them. +++ I advise that you backup your TXT, HDR, and IDX, directory before you start this, you might mess it up and some words might be missing, from the descriptions. +++ It will ask: Start at area#: xxx End at area#: xxx Then it will ask about download counters.. put in NO. Then it will ask about LF/CRs or something... check your Files.BBS on the CD, to see whether or not if it has mulitple descriptions, if it only has 1 line description (ie Monster Disc II), put in NO. but if it does have mulitple descriptions (ie Night Owl vx.0) put in YES. If it asks about something having to do with indentation with the Files.BBS, leave it at the default, 0. +++ like I said, make a backup of the TXT, HDR and IDX dir, before you go on with this thing. +++ Q. I just switched from RA 1.11 to RA 2.0x, and this RAFILE thing is sorta screwey to me.. how do I make it generate a newfiles list, a master list, and main board files (this is if you have CD-ROM areas) ? What is this /B option, the /D option, and the *.LST files used in the RAFILE FILELIST command? A. Here are my examples, the ones I use, and I organized it show I'll show you what each one does. rafile filelist d:\ra\files\concess\master.txt /Brafile.ban ÔÍÍ path plus file name. ÔÍ banner to make appear before the list. rafile filelist d:\ra\files\concess\concess.txt /Brafile.ban @CONCESS.LST ÔÍÍ path plus file name. ÔÍ Banner ÔÍ which area I want to be shown on the list. rafile filelist d:\ra\files\concess\newfiles.txt /Brafile.ban /D7 ÔÍÍ path plus file name. ÔÍ Banner ÔÍ Newfiles in 7 days. you can change (How CONCESS.LST reads: the 7 to any number. 1-39 1-39 are the file areas that I want included on one of the lists that I generated. Change it to anything that you want it to be. The /Dx number shows the newfiles in how many days (x=days) (optional) The /Bxxxx.xxx option gives you the option if you want a banner file in the filelist, you do not have to use this if you decide not too (optional). RAFILE FILELIST This is required, of course to make it run the filelist program. ^^^^^^^^ d:\ra\files\concess\newfiles.txt The path of course, is required, please change to suit your needs. ^^^^^^^^ The @xxxxxxx.xxx option, lets you have which areas in the list that you want to have or not. The @ is required beforehand. (optional) Q. How do I enable the (T)agging prompt on the Keyword Search and the Filename search commands? A. Simple, just add in the Optional Data line for these commands a /T parameter, this will fix this up for you. - 4 - °±²Û Language Editor/Control Codes Û²±° Q. People say that I can change colors in the RACONFIG Language Prompts I have always wanted to change a particlar word/phrase or letter, how? A. This is not difficult at all. When you are in the Language Editor, go find your prompt that you want to edit. Once you find it, you have many choices to turn the letters a different color. Here is the color codes that RA can support . Background Normal Color Foreground -------------|------------------- Black 0 Blue 1 Green 2 Cyan 3 Red 4 Magneta 5 Brown 6 Gray 7 Foregound Color Color # --------------|-------------------- Black 0 Blue 1 Green 2 Cyan 3 Red 4 Magneta 5 Brown 6 Gray 7 Dark Gray 8 Light Blue 9 Light Green A Light Cyan B Light Red C Light Magneta D Yellow E White F For Example: --> K[0A - Green Foreground on a Black background |-> K[3C - Red Foreground on a Cyan background | **NOTE** to make a the K, do have to do this in the Language Editor press | Ctrl-P (the cursor should flash), then press Ctrl-K, a White K | should appear in the space where you put it. | | Here is an example of a text being edited: | | Normal Text Line: Enter your current password |---> Colorized Text: Enter your K[0Acurrent password This would make the CURRENT PASSWORD change to green.

The will work with any textfile. ==AND== in the Language Editor! The best textfile to use this feature, which I think, is the file ONCEONLY.xxx if you want to display more for the user to see only one time, use it on this. It works nicely. Q. How do I put a text file as the prompt in the language editor? A. Just add the K!filename| option in there, make sure that you have the .ANS/.ASC/.RIP/.AVT made (not everyone has RIP and AVT on their bbs). For instance: The language prompt is: Autologoff in 10 secs; press "!" to disconnect or "S" to remain online. Instead of that Autologoff message, you can do this, like what I have done: K!autolog| Which would display the textfile (ANS/ASC/AVT/RIP): it appears like this: [ ^KG, ^KI, ^KJ] Total Time Online: ^FU mins þ Auto logoff in ten seconds, "!" to disconnect or "S" to Stop þ Of course I had just given you the ASCII version of it, and my colors are not shown up on here, but this is great for you to use! -= Please remember that the ^ stands for CTRL. =- - 5 - °±²Û Security Level Setup Û²±° Q.

Okay, I have Online INSTAbank running great, and noticed this new lottery program for Online INSTAbank, how do I set it up? A. Here are the correct ways of setting it up: First, you MUST place ALL of the INSTAgames' files into the directory which contains the Online INSTAbank files. Then you can configure the prices for the tickets, etc.. by running IGAME10 /C this will then prompt you for information on the tickets (time/bytes/etc). My batch file to run this is: @Echo Off c: cd\ra copy dorinfo1.def c:\ra\bank cd\ra\bank igame10.exe cd\ra exit And make sure that each night during your system's maintence that you goto the INSTAgames directory and run IGAME10 /P to process the winning/losing tickets. This should be everything for setup with INSTAgames. Q. How do I install a Remote Menu Editor with RemoteAccess 2.0x? A. Here is how to install LWMenu!

Q. On a different BBS Software, I've seen when you want to browse through their file areas, it gives the filearea name, the total number of files, and the total size of the filearea.. How would I get something to do that .. and use it for a filearea statistic? A. Get a file called FILESTAT by Bill Dykstra, and it will generate a listing like this.. It is VERY easy to setup. This is what to do: Once you unzip/unarj/etc the archive place filestat.* into your RemoteAccess directory (or wherever), once you do that, type in FILESTAT /C this will bring you into it's little configuration setup, the only question it asks you is where the CONFIG.RA is location at, simply insert the path there without the filename, and then the next step is: simply run the program nightly to maintain a correct filearea listing or statistics. Simply run, FILESTAT each night, when you are done it will produce a file called FILESTAT.A?? into your textfiles directory, and it looks like this: ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ File Area Statistics for The Concession Stand ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Statistics compiled on December 10, 1993 ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÂÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÂÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÂÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÂÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³ Area # ³ Name ³ Files ³ Size ³ DLs ³ ÃÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÅÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÅÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÅÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÅÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ´ ³ 1 ³ TCS Filelists/Newfiles ³ 5 ³ 268,095 ³ 104 ³ ³ 2 ³ Archive & CD Requested Files ³ 3 ³ 3,944 ³ 6 ³ ³ 3 ³ RemoteAccess 1.11 Files ³ 51 ³ 2,672,205 ³ 30 ³ ³ 4 ³ RemoteAccess 2.0x Files ³ 183 ³ 12,295,011 ³ 174 ³ ³ 5 ³ RemoteAccess Doors ³ 11 ³ 526,329 ³ 15 ³ ³ 6 ³ RemoteAccess Language Files ³ 36 ³ 404,022 ³ 19 ³ ³ 7 ³ FrontEnd Mailers ³ 6 ³ 774,497 ³ 0 ³ ³ 8 ³ RIP Graphic Utilities ³ 1 ³ 0 ³ 0 ³ ³ 9 ³ Bill Dykstra Files ³ 30 ³ 768,559 ³ 26 ³ ³ 10 ³ McAfee's Virus Scanners ³ 8 ³ 1,288,786 ³ 0 ³ ³ 11 ³ IBM Utilities ³ 10 ³ 1,137,696 ³ 1 ³ ³ 12 ³ IBM Compression Utilities ³ 2 ³ 426,430 ³ 9 ³ ³ 13 ³ Telecommunications ³ 8 ³ 1,699,954 ³ 0 ³ ³ 14 ³ FLI Animation Files ³ 35 ³ 2,379,070 ³ 40 ³ ³ 15 ³ SoundBlaster Utilities ³ 9 ³ 1,192,787 ³ 14 ³ ³ 16 ³ Ansi Art/Textfiles ³ 11 ³ 587,730 ³ 51 ³ ÃÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÅÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÅÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÅÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ´ ³ Totals ³ 6,132 ³ 675,695,478 ³ 1,052 ³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÁÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ FileStat v1.0 - (C)opyright 1993, Bill Dykstra Press [ENTER] to Continue... (Please note that I took out areas after 17, I dont want this file to get too big!) The color version (ANSI) is great looking as well! now each night in your maintence you should run FILESTAT.EXE once, and then after that you should do this: C: cd\ra filestat.exe D: cd\ra\english\txtfiles del filearea.* copy filestat.ans filearea.ans copy filestat.asc filearea.asc C: This should work properly, remember that the FILEAREA.A?? file replaces the hard coded listing that is built into RemoteAccess. - 7 - °±²Û Miscellaneous Options Û²±° Q. Since I run multinode, how do I obtain a log for each node? A. This is also simple. Where it asks for your System's Log path. Enter the path, but instead of just C:\LOGS\RA.LOG do this at the field. C:\LOGS\RA*N.LOG If a user logs on to node 1, then it will produce the log named: C:\LOGS\RA01.LOG If a user logs on to node 5, then it will produce the log named: C:\LOGS\RA05.LOG -- etc... Q. How do I get RemoteAccess to display RIP Screens with RemoteAccess? I have already made up the RIP Screens, but cannot get them to display. A. Your RIP screens, MUST have the extension .RIP on them, and they must be placed into your textfiles directory (the directory which contains all of your ANSI/ASCII files). - 8 - °±²Û FrontDoor Setup with RemoteAccess Û²±° -=- The easiest setup to get to the shell to mailer mode is -=- RA -m\fd\fd.exe*m -E20 -*- This calls up RemoteAccess and tells it to shell to FrontDoor to wait for the caller, swapping memory and at the errorlevel or 20.

So, you'll just have to configure this little sucker, it's easy to do.

So, here it is.. I -=DID=- post a test msg in the RA_SUPPORT echo, and ran XM EXPORT and it Zipped it up, and it placed the message to be sent out to it's correct directory, with the correct address to send it out to. I, personally, like both FastEcho and xMail they both get the job done. I have not recieved a packet, with xMail and have not actually seen how it imports messages, but it looks fast to me! It took me 15mins for me to set everything up and test this tosser out. Use what you like, I am not telling you which tosser is better or which one to use, these are just my opinions. Both xMail and FastEcho get the job done quick and easy. Experiment around with them!
