I do somethingãlike this in one of my mods, but BAJA isn't the easiest thing to do this with.ãYou must manually control the filepos and such. Doing it this way would beãfairly complicated with BAJA, but then again it can be done. Rob might haveãsome more suggestions on this. I don't know how BAJA would know who the userãwas without someone being logged on.ã ã > Second thing is sending a textfile using Synchronet e-mail server. I seeã > it can be done (PG telnet verifier) but how?ããWith the latest Telval release I am just calling SMBUTIL.EXE from the scriptãwith the proper parameters to send a text file. The problem with this is itãdoesn't seem to work on Windows 2000 for some reason. SMBUTIL executes fromãthe script fine on Win9x systems but under Windows 2000 it doesn't seem toãexecute properly. Have not found a fix yet. I've decided to hault developmentãof Telval until I can get this fixed. I'm not sure if it's my code or aãproblem with BAJA and WinNT/2000. I've since started re-writing Telval withãthe XSDK and include my own SMB code, but it might be some time before Iãactually get one that works :-)ããI released an example a while back of how to send email/netmail with SMBUTILãfrom BAJA. I can't remember the filename. Try looking on my BBS. There is noãinternal way in BAJA to send an email from textfile. If you try this let meãknow if you have the same problem with SMBUTIL on Win2000.ãã > As i know Synchronet has good docs to look for the answer, but nowã > i have no time (i'm leaving the house) so maybe until i return someoneã > post some ideas?ããActually, I don't think it's in the docs this time :-)ããPGãã---ã þ Synchronet þ WasteLand BBS þ telnet://wasteland.darktech.org ã
