   Hi Rug,   
      
   On 2025-06-13 01:31:34, you wrote to All:   
      
    RR>  I was wondering if anyone can tell me what .CLO files are used for?   
      
   Read: http://ftsc.org/docs/fts-5005.003   
      
    RR> It appears that it is used by my tosser to tell BINKD where the .PKT   
    RR> files are being placed and which one to transfer.   
      
   That is correct.   
      
    RR> However, BinkD seems to always delete them after a transfer,   
      
   That is by design:   
      
          After successful transmission of the listed files the flow file   
          must be deleted from the outbound. (But see below.) Should the   
          session be terminated accidentally while sending the listed   
          files, the flow file must be processed in the next session from   
          the beginning.   
      
    RR> and the next time my BBS executes a TOSS it can not find the   
    RR> x.XXX.XXX.X.CLO file, does not create a new one and drops out of the   
    RR> tosser.   
      
   That is a bug.   
      
    RR> I had to write a script to check to see if the file exists, and if not   
    RR> create an empty .CLO file then run the tosser.  I would like IF   
    RR> POSSIBLE for BINKd NOT to delete this file.   
      
   That is not possible.   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
