DESCRIPTION
CrashWrite reads a text file and creates a .pkt file that can be
processed by CrashMail. This can be used to post announcements and
other messages in areas. The best way to use CrashWrite is to let it
generate packets in a separate directory and then toss them with
TOSSDIR NOSECURITY.
There are many keywords for CrashWrite. All keywords are optional
except for DIRECTORY. If you do not enter a keyword, a default value
will be used.
OPTIONS
FROMNAME string
FROMADDR node
TONAME string
TOADDR node
SUBJECT string
Use these keywords to set the header of the message. You only
need to enter TONAME and TOADDR for netmails.
PKTFROMADDR node
PKTTOADDR node
Use these if you want to set the origin and destination
address of the packet to something other than the origin
and destination address of the message inside the packet.
If you do not specify these keywords, FROMADDR and TOADDR
will be used for the packet as well.
PASSWORD string
You can use this keyword to set a password for the
packet. The maximum length of the password is eight
characters.
AREA area
The area the message should be posted in. If you do not
enter an area, the message will be sent as a netmail.
ORIGIN origin
The origin line for the message. This keyword has no
effect for netmail messages.
DIR directory
The directory where the packet should be placed.
TEXT filename
The name of a text file that should be included as the
message text.
NOMSGID
Prevents CrashWrite from adding a MSGID line.
FILEATTACH
Sets the file-attach flag for netmails. The filename
should be put in the subject line.
