2. My thanks goes to the following people:
   • Harms Software - for writing Allfix
   • Lord Time - for Motivating me to get this tutorial Done

Setting Up your File Hatching

Click on Hatch manager and see below you will see the following it should be blank

I have setup an example File Area So that you can see how its done

you will need to insert all your file areas here that you wanna hatch files for

FINAL Step

Here In Conjunction With Tinytic is where I get allfix hatching and

Having tinytic Announce My Files in the areas The batch file should be exactly like this but set to your system

@echo off

c:

cd\sbbs\tinytic

tinytic

rem Combines header-announcement-footer together

copy header.txt+newfiles.txt+footer.txt announce.txt

cd\sbbs\exec

smbutil ic:\sbbs\tinytic\announce.txt -tAll -fSpace_bot -sReceived-Files c:\sbbs\data\subs\allfixfi.shd

smbutil ic:\sbbs\tinytic\announce.txt -tAll -fSpace_bot -sReceived-Files c:\sbbs\data\subs\gn.frek.shd

smbutil ic:\sbbs\tinytic\announce.txt -tAll -fSpace_bot -sReceived-Files c:\sbbs\data\subs\int.rcv.shd

smbutil ic:\sbbs\tinytic\announce.txt -tAll -fSpace_bot -sReceived-Files c:\sbbs\data\subs\Jn_FILES.shd

cd\sbbs\tinytic

cd\sbbs\exec

addfiles * /S /N /Z

sbbsecho /lesr!

sbbsecho /linf!

cd\sbbs\tinytic

if exist announce.txt del announce.txt

if exist newfiles.txt del newfiles.txt

cd\sbbs\allfix

allfix file

NOTE:

You must create a Header.txt and a footer.txt customized to your system and put them in tinytic dir

Also You must after you complete all the Allfix file echos setup run the fcomp command

The FCOMP in allfix for synchronet is FCOMP 21 c:\sbbs\ctrl

This will compile allfix File Echos to Synchronet BBS

Guess what:

That's it. You should have a working setup.
