I will try to formulate the results of some reflections on a
very vital topic. Opinion is purely subjective.
So, what do we need przhde all?
1. Editor messages (such as GOLDED in FIDO)
2. Software to automate the server.
Let's start from the beginning. Consider an approximate
algorithm for the automatic transfer of mail.
There are three BBS with numbers:
BBS N1 number XX-XX-XX password ahhh
BBS N2 number YY-YY-YY password bbbb MB no password
BBS N3 number of ZZ-ZZ-ZZ password cccc
Objective: slazit on each BBS, download specified files from
there, 2 letters to upload BBS N1, and one on the BBS N3. The
program should Proceed as follows:
1. From the list of BBS chooses the one which has not been
contacted.
2. Enters the number and the password in memory.
3. Carries redial the number.
4. If the modem connects, the program downloads the
information (as some of it below), rummaging in his memory in
search of programs for the BBS, determines the receiving disc
and upload them there.
5. Exits from this BBS and hangs up.
6. Moves to point N1.
7. If all BBS ransacked, shutdown / ideally - shutdown :)))/
4. If the line is busy, there are several options:
option as well. Tolls on the next BBS and try it.
option b. She hangs up, waits a while, and calls
again.
The procedure is repeated many times as necessary.
Algorithm, quite frankly, utterly simplistic, but what is
here, exercise is quite difficult. In addition, there is one ...
m-m-m ... nuance. This - _стандартизация_названий_фаилов_Больной
question. We formulate it slightly differently.
How the program / cm above / will determine what to download
from BBS? More precisely: how to understand the program, which
files needed, and what to skip if you do not know what might be
on the server? For this purpose, as a minimum, we need standard
nazvaniyah.I then will operate longer file names, and their
parameters / markers. Let me explain.
Suppose / though we do not know / directory server is
is as follows:
-1 BBS--2 BBS ******** * ********
to_1.02. W -20 may-. .
SOFT. C _to_1.2. W
soft. C or _to_1.3. W
bugabuga. a -21 may-. .
me. w ZX21_1. Z
vasjamus. m ZX21_2. Z
-22 May-. .
VT22_1. Z
VT22_2. Z
_FILES. C
At BBS N1 until you look files / not even the directory /
does not know which is which. Recoverable BBS N2. Specifies the
program to auto-transfer task: to treat all files with the
extension of W and C. That's all. Prog will find files that
match the specified parameters and to download both discs.
I think this is realistic to implement. And just on this
topic / And not just / need to talk tolpoy.Odnomu difficult to
enumerate all more or less the best options, so that the plug.
And preferably more active, gentlemen. By the way, as all this
was done in FIDO? I do not know much of their technology, but
imho, general principles and we can use.
