   Interfacing FD with Mystic   
   23 Sep 17 07:57:06   
   
    ph>> I am trying to connect FD to Mystic as part of an experiment to   
    ph>> see if it's it's possible.   
      
    jh> Of course it's possible ... somehow :)   
      
   Now ... enter the STQ in FrontDoor ...   
      
   Grab yourself a copy of XROBOT from www.defsol.com or elsewhere. Make sure   
   it's version 4.x (4.10). Install the executable somewhere in your path.   
   There's an OS/2 version as well if you need it.   
      
   From the command-line, type: XRDOS QSPOOLMAKE ?   
      
   This command is used to create a "Spool Entry" in the FrontDoor Static Queue.   
   Once such an entry is created, FD will send anything found in that directory,   
   to its destination.   
      
   You can specify a filemask, including C:\THEPATH\*.*   
   The filemask is non-recursive, it will not traverse sub-directories.   
      
   You can specify a recipient for the spool directory.   
      
   You can set the status bits on the spool directory. This can be used to set   
   the behavior of FD and the level of emergency of the delivery. I.e. an entry   
   can be set as HOLD, which means the remote system must call in for the files   
   to be sent, or the entry can be set to a high priority to make FD deliver   
   asap, etc.   
      
   There are some other options you can use to alter the spool entry too, but   
   these are the basics.   
      
   So anything that gets dropped into the specified directory will be acted upon   
   when FD is started.
