Because HTICK is a part of the 'HUSKY' fidonet software project, it uses the 'fidoconfig' library and many configuration statements described in a *note Fidoconfig Manual: (fidoconfig)Top. 1 An Overview of HTICK ********************** HTICK is a Fidonet fileareas tosser with filefix. Now project is being supported by Husky Development Team (see ). HTICK features are: 1. Tossing fileareas. 2. Filefix (on the fly, from command line, limit for areas...). 3. Autocreating on the fly. 4. Automatic forwarding requests for missing areas to the uplinks. 5. Switching areas into passive (send-only) and back into active mode. 6. Resending files from passthrough and none passthrough fileareas. 7. Groups & levels for personal and public access to fileareas. 8. Security check of tossgroup. 9. Link defaults. 10. Posting to net & echo areas. 11. Flexible file announcements via echo or netmail messages. Wildcards in filearea tags allow easy configuration of multiple announcement areas for different groups of fileareas. 12. Save announcements to disk, so you are protected from losing announcements because of critical HTICK termination (insufficient disk space, ^Break pressed, power off etc). 13. much, much more :) The advantages of HTICK are: 1. Open Source (GPL) 2. Many supported platforms & operating systems 3. Quick bug fixing 2 Installation Procedures and Release Notes ******************************************* This chapter provides you with information that is necessary to successfully install and use HTICK. We suppose that you already has compiled binaries. If not - read "Download" or "Compile the Source Code" chapters. 1. Read FIDOCONFIG documentation about location of config files and the statements of fidoconfig. 2. Create and edit config files for your purposes. 3. Run 'tparser' from FIDOCONFIG package to test your config (read about 'PublicGroup' or 'AccessGrp' if you want to use groups for 'FileEchoAreas'). 4. It is simply, isn't it? Enjoy! :-). 2.1 Download the Source Code & Binary Files =========================================== Main page (releases, source code, latest beta versions) - Direct link to 'stable' branch sources: Direct link to 'current' (development) branch sources: 2.2 Compiling the Source Code ============================= 1. The smapi and fidoconf packages are required for htick. 2. Put the fidoconf and smapi packages to the directory where the other packages of fido linux reside: /usr/src/packages/ -> smapi/ -> fidoconfig/ -> htick/ 3. Compile and install smapi and fidoconf packages. Use "Makefile" for dynamic executables and makefile.lnx (or whatever you need) for static ones. 4. Compile and install HTICK: $ make $ make install You should use the _same_ makefiles in smapi, fidoconf and htick. 2.3 Support =========== There are numerous reasons why you might wish to establish contact with developers. 1. You have decided to use HTICK on a regular basis. In this case, please do send a netmail at the address listed below. 2. You have a general questions on how to configure or on how to use a certain feature of HTICK. In other words, you need support. In this case, you'd best post your question to one of the following echos: 'FIDOSOFT.HUSKY' The international Husky conference. English is the preferred language here. 'RU.HUSKY' This Russian echo covers Husky Project. If you have access to Internet, you may of course post your support request or bug report into form on husky development site: http://sourceforge.net/projects/husky, click the "Bugs" link if you want to post a bug report. If you do not have access to any of these echos and internet, you may of course also contact developers via netmail or e-mail at the addresses listed below. 3. You want to report a bug. There are two sorts of bugs: a. Normal bugs. You think that a certain function of HTICK does not work as expected, e.g. it is producing garbage, or doing strange things, or similar. In this case, either post to the echos listed above, bugrack on site or contact developers via netmail. Please do supply all information that is necessary to understand your problem. b. Fatal bugs. A fatal bug occurs if HTICK crashes. Depending on your operating system, the symptom might be a core dump, or a SYS 3175, or a general protection fault, or a system lockup, or a spontaneous reboot. We do consider a crash untolerable. No matter how stupid things you do, you should not be able to crash HTICK. If you are experienced user and get core dump, you can send developers gdb report. If you have a crash, locate 'core' file that has been generated. Then run $ gdb htick core, type where. HTICK must be compiled with debug information (DEBUG=1 in 'huskymak.cfg' file). Then send report to addresses below. If you are running any other binary version (like Windows), you will not get a core file on a crash. Write down as much information as you can, try to find a way to reproduce the crash and contact autors at the addresses below. Please attach log-file with 'loglevels 1-0A-Za-z' (all numbers and letters). 4. You want to contribute to HTICK. If you are a programmer and have fixed a problem in HTICK on your own, please submit your changes to me. The preferred way for doing so is to send to developers a difference file in GNU diff format (with -c parameter). Your work will be highly appreciated and honored in an appropriate place. If you want to regularly work on HTICK, we also have a CVS server online that you can have access to if you like. If you want to write a new feature for HTICK, please contact developers beforehand to avoid that we do duplicate work. Again, we will appreciate and honor any efforts done by you. Please note that for writing a HTICK enhancement, you should be familiar with C. Also, HTICK uses a special indentation style throughout the source code, that we would like you to adhere to. So here are developers' addresses if you want to get in contact with us: * Fidonet: Max Chernogor @ 2:464/108 * e-mail: mche@ua.fm * Fidonet: Stas Degteff @ 2:5080/102 * e-mail: stas_degteff@users.sf.net 3 HTICK 1.9 Command Line OPTIONS and SWITCHES ********************************************* To get help about the command line syntax use HTICK without any arguments Syntax: 'htick [options] ' where '' is one of: 'toss [annfecho ]' Reading *.tic and tossing files.

Setting to 0 to disables purging (this is default value). -sendorig Send files from PassFileAreaDir for non passthrough areas. -nosendorig Send files from FileArea directory for non passthrough areas if fileareadefaults set to '-sendorig'. -r Default read-only: set link read-only at subscribing. -w Default write-only: set link write-only at subscribing. 4.4 Announce System =================== Htick announcements are selective, they can be different for different fileareas. Token 'AnnAreaTag' starts a new section of announce definition, other tokens define lists of fileareas included into announcement and describe announce message. To post announcements run 'htick announce'. You may turn announcements off: just remove 'AnnounceSpool' definition from config.
