*** Some user related stuff

What is UUGate ?
  UUGate (called ug futher on) gates Mail <-> Netmail and News <-> Echomail
  between Internet and Fidonet.

What do i need to run uugate ?
  You will need an PC running OS/2 2.x w HPFS, and BinkleyTerm 2.56/2.50EE.
  If you recieves compressed (cunbatch) news you will need COMPRESS.

How do i send mail to Internet ?
  You address your netmail to uucp at the node/point uugate resides, and
  the first line in the netmail must have "To: jbr@cindy.ct.se" ie the
  internet address you are sending the mail to, *AND* the line in the mail
  following "To: .." must be empty.

  You can allso put the internet address in the to: field of an netmail,
  but if you do so the netmail *MUST* be addressed directly to the UG
  point/node.

How do i send articles in an echo area gated by uugate ?
  You do as you are used to, ie no special trix are required.


*** How to setup uugate

Example fakts: (taken from the authors setup)
  Fidonode: 2:200/427
  UUGate port: 2:200/427.3
  Internet: address jbr@cindy.ct.se
  Mailhost: seunet
   
First create following dir's (according to your configuration).

  c:/uugate              (where the exe and cfg files is)
  c:/uugate/tmp          (scratch dir)
  c:/uugate/spool        (the spool dir)
  c:/uugate/spool/seunet (spool dir for my mailhost)

Patch your BBS.CMD file like:
  so you can jump out on an errorlevel.
  :UUCP
     cd \uugate            ; change cwd to where uugate exe's is
     futoss -sseunet       ; toss mail from the port to the mailhost
     uucico -sseunet       ; callup your mailhost
     uftoss -sseunet       ; read mailhost spooldir and send it to fido tosser
     cd \Bt
     start /win /b /min squish.cmd

Patch the uugate.cfg file according to your needs.


*** the UUGate programs

futoss.exe   ( futoss -s<system> -x<debug 0|1> )

  futoss first scans your netmail dir for mail to "uucp",
  afther that it reads the bink "hlo" file to get echo/mail.

uftoss.exe   ( uftoss -s<system> -x<debug 0|1> )

  uftoss reads the "system" dir and sends the mail/news to your 
  bink inbound dir.

uucico.exe   ( uucico -s<system> -x<debug 0|1> )

  uucico calls your "system" and delivers whatever futoss put
  in the spool/system dir.
  Afther that it recieves whatever the mailhost gives to uucico.
