How it works

hpucode scans all echoareas passed via command line for uuecode. If uue code found, it extracts it and decodes to protected inbound. There is an opportunity to create tic file for each decoded file. To use this ability you should defile yourself as link in fidoconfig. Tics is being created from your address, but origin will be set to the address of original message poster. If ImportLog is defined in fidoconfig and exists, only areas from this file will be scanned for uue code.

FidoConfig keywords

Syntax:
UUEEchoGroup <groupname> <areamask> [[areamask] ... ]
Example:
UUEEchoGroup PICS RU.SEX.* SU.COOL.STARS

This token describes a group of echoareas which will be scanned for uue code. groupname is a name of filearea where decoded files will be posted. If UUEEchoGroup not defined, filearea will be named uue.<areatag> For example: uue was found in area RU.PICTURES.ADV, so filearea when file is being posted will be named uue.RU.PICTURES.ADV
