; ; AREAS.INI: Message & File Area definition file ; For: Fido/Fidonet version 12a ; Copyright T. Jennings ; 16 July 87 ; ;This file defines all of the message and file areas available within ;Fido/FidoNet. After making any changes to this file, please be sure ;to run SET-FIDO to make the changes take effect. ; ; ; Each definition must fit in one line. Otherwise it's not very fussy. ;You can have blank lines and comments anywhere in this file for clarity. ; ; - DEFINING AREAS - ; ; Three things must be specified as a minimum to define an area: ;the MSGAREA or FILEAREA keyword, a subdirectory name and a description. ; ; For example: ; ;MSGAREA= C:\FIDO\MESSAGE1 D="General Messages" ; ; This defines a message area in a subdirectory on drive C:. Any ;privilege level caller can access this area, and no locks are applied. ;Refer to LOCKS and PRIVILEGE LEVELS below on restricting caller access. ; ; Subdirectories that do not exist are created automatically when ;SET-FIDO.EXE is run. If it does exist, any files already inside the ;subdirectory are not affected. ; ; - LOCKS - ; ; LOCKS can be applied to areas as needed. Using the example above, ;you apply locks as follows: ; ;msgarea= c:\fido\messages L= 32 d="General Messages" ; ; Callers can access this message area only if they have key 32. The ;same applies to file areas. Any number of keys can be applied, such ;as "L= 1,2,32". ; ; - PRIVILEGE LEVEL - ; ; The minimum privilege level to access areas by default is zero; any ;caller can access them. For example, to allow only privilege level 3 ;callers and above to access a given area, use: ; ;msgarea= c:\fido\message1 P= 3 d="General Messages" ; ; - OTHER OPTIONS - ; ; Besides defining message and file areas, you can specify here ;what areas to assign as defaults to new callers when they first log on, ;define the area that Fido puts messages entered at the G)oodbye command, ;and tell FidoNet which area to use for FidoNet messages and FidoNet files. ;To do this you Use the O= options. Only the first character of the ;option name is currently used. You can use "O=F", "O=Fi" or "O= FIDONET". ; ; O=FidoNet this is a FidoNet message or file area ; ; O=NewCaller this is the message and/or file area that new callers get ; assigned as their default area. If you don't specify this, ; Fido uses the first area defined. ; ; - THESE APPLY TO MESSAGE AREAS ONLY: - ; ; O=Goodbye this is the area that callers leave msgs entered at G)oodbye ; If no goodbye area is defined, then the G)oodbye command ; doesn't ask the caller to leave a message. ; ; - THESE APPLY TO FILE AREAS ONLY: - ; ; O=OverWrite Uploaded files may overwrite existing files, otherwise ; Fido will abort any upload of a file with the same name. ; ; File areas are the same as message areas with one exception: you ;can define a seperate subdirectory for uploading. If none is specified, ;uploading is not allowed in that area. If you want to allow uploads ;into the same subdirectory as downloads, enter "U=" then repeat the ;subdirectory name. ; ;You can define an upload subdirectory by: ; ;filearea= c:\fido\files U= C:\FIDO\UPLOADS d= "General Files" ; ; If no upload subdirectory is specified, then callers cannot ;upload in this area. ; ; ---------------------------------------- ; ; Locks, Privilege levels and Options may be used in any combination. ;It is possible (and common) to use for example, the same message area ;for new callers and G)oodbye messages, and to allow uploads and ;overwrites into the FidoNet File area. ; ; You can put MSGAREA and FILEAREA lines in any order; all of one ;kind first, or alternate line by line, it makes no difference. ; ; The following are usable message and file areas; you need only ;remove the semicolons from the others to use them. Change as necessary! ; msgarea= inbound D="Messages" O=New O=Fi ;all can access filearea=inbound U= outbound D="Files" O=Fi ;level 2 users
