MBSE BBS Setup - File Echo's Setup -> TIC Areas.


In this setup you can define the File Echo's or TIC areas. Files received or send from this areas are bound together with a *.tic file with information about the file and where to store that file. Each file echo must belong to a group, in this grouprecord is the information about costsharing and some other details. When a file is received at your system you can do several things with that file before it is stored in your download areas such as; scanning the file for virusses, extracting the FILE_ID.DIZ file to use as description, allow update of magic alias, convert to another compression format, replace the file archive comment with an add of your own bbs and limit the number of files (nodelists).
