The idea is that a user writes a mail in a filefind area addressed to "Allfix" with in the subject line the items to search for. On all BBS'es with a filefind utility those programs try to find the requested files and then produce a reply of which files they have found. That reply can be in the same area, in a special reply echo or can be sent by netmail. Usually the user gets a lot of replies from which he can see if someone has the file(s) available he was searching for. <P> <P> <H3>Filefind Setup.</H3> <P> <pre> <strong>Comment </strong>The comment for this area. <strong>Origin </strong>The origin line to use for the reply. <strong>Aka to use </strong>The Fidonet aka to use in this area. <strong>Scan area </strong>The JAM area in which to scan for requests. <strong>Reply area </strong>The JAM area to put the replies in, leave blank if in the same area. <strong>Language </strong>Not in use yet, but DO select one! <strong>Template </strong>Not in use yet. <strong>Active </strong>If this area is active. <strong>Deleted </strong>If this area must be deleted. <strong>Net. reply </strong>If the reply will be sent by netmail. <strong>Hi ACSII </strong>If high ASCII is allowed in the replies. </pre> <P> <IMG SRC="../images/filefind.png"> <P> <A HREF="./"><IMG SRC="../images/larrow.png" ALT="Back" Border="0">Back to index</A> <A HREF="../"><IMG SRC="../images/b_arrow.png" ALT="Home" Border="0">Back to main index</A> </BLOCKQUOTE> </BODY> </HTML>
