Files

 

FBB Gate uses & creates several files & subdirs. Here’s the list:

 

FBBGATE.EXE : Main program

ZIPDLL.DLL : Needed to create Zip-files.

UNZDLL.DLL : Needed to UnZip Zip-files.

 

FBBGATE.CFG : Main configuration file.

AUTODIAL.CFG : AutoDial configuration file (see AutoDial TAB)

EXTRA.CFG : Extra configuration file (see Backup TAB)

EXPORT.CFG : Export configuration file (see Export TAB)

IMPORT.CFG : Import configuration file (see Import TAB)

REPORT.CFG : Report configuration file (see report TAB)

INCLUDE.TXT: This text is included in every email message that you’ll send to another sysop (contains Export-file)

*.GRP        : Group-file

SESSION.LOG: LOG-file for the last time you ran FBB Gate.

TASKICON: ‘Flag’-file exist when you choose ‘Run FBB Gate minimized on startup’ from EXTRA-tab.

 

When FBBGATE.EXE is executed all exportfiles are locked by creating (*.LCK) files. Consult your FBB manual for more info about locking files.

Directories

\MES\ : This directory contains the text (not attachments) of your incoming email. They are deleted afterwards.

\ATM\ : Attachments are put here. They are deleted afterwards, so this directory should be empty.

\BACKUP\ : Contains backups of certain files. Every time you run FBB Gate a new sub-directory is created.

\WORKDIR1\

\WORKDIR2\

Incoming attachments (zip-files) from dir \ATM\ are extracted to dir \WORKDIR1\ and then moved to dir \WORKDIR2\. If a file with same name in dir \WORKDIR2\ already exists then it is first renamed and then moved to \WORKDIR2\

\MPART\ : Contains multipart files. An FBB exportfile is split into several multipart files and saved in this Dir.
