What is AutoMail?
AutoMail is a utility written to cut down the amount of time it takes to use ftp via Bitnet and a VAX/VMS system. To use ftp commands via Bitnet, one must go through the ftp server BITFTP@PUCC.BITNET. When bitftp sends the files to you, they come uuencoded and chopped up into 50k chunks. Getting them back to useable form can be a rather time consuming process! AutoMail takes care of everything for you. It goes into mail and "looks" for files "disguised" as mail messages sent by BITFTP. It extracts all the parts, strips out the mail headers, appends the files back together, and uudecodes the files for you! Optionally, you can turn off the uudecoding and/or have the files download via zmodem and then deleted. And, you can chose between doing this interactively or as a batch process.
Please note that AutoMail is VAX/VMS specific
- it will not run on any other platform!!!
