%                                THE CONTROL FILE INSTRUCTIONS
%
%
% Zone is absolutely required to keep things straight!
%
%
Zone 1
%
%
% MyNetNode is absolutely required as it will designate you as the preparer
% of the outputed REPORTER.CAR file.
%
MyNetNode 141/701
%
% Include is optional and will include the net/node on distribution of the
% files being read in. (i.e. Node 141/701 submits it's file, but naturally
% the file does not include 141/701 as on distribution. The use of the Include
% statement in the control file will do so for each file read in.)
%
%  WARNING: When preparing a file using files passed on to you, saying include
%           will be misleading to readers of REPORTER.CAR, since then will see
%           the HUB or NET as also a carrier of an area which might not be the
%           case. Use Include only for the first collection point.
%
%           For example, lets say 141/2 was collecting all the Hubs CAR's
%           (i.e. 141/700, 141/500, 141/900 etc). He should NOT use the include
%            verb as his report will then INCLUDE 141/700 141/500 141/900 as
%            nodes that CARRY all the areas that they sent on to 141/2 which
%            might not be the case.
%
Include
%
% MyNetHub is optional, and will create a file (here it would be 141-700.CAR)
% of the output from you and your nodes for further consolidation at the next
% reporting level (Net in this case). You have to send it to him.
% (Whoever him is <grin>) Only to be used above the node level.
%
MyNetHub 141/700
%
%  AddInfo will include a file which will be appended to the end of the output
%  of REPORTER.CAR. The file can be something like a description of each area
%  name, special information about certain areas, etc.
%  It should be in the same directory and can be any name.
%
%
%
AddInfo DescInfo.TXT
%
%  Each of the files listed must be in the same directory as REPORTER.EXE and
%  REPORTER.CTL. If a file isn't found, processing will be terminated and you
%  will be notified.
%
%  Files may be of the AREAS.BBS style or ECHO.CTL style.
%
%  Comments may be place anywhere in this file by placing a % in column 1
%
%  Filenames *MUST* be NET-NODE. Filetypes MUST be .CAR  (no .VANs allowed.
%  They are reserved for a latter version with some fancy stuff <grin>)
%
% My nodes (These could be hubs, nets or even zones!) and me too!

%
% Archive will archive up your output file. You can specify any
% parameters you wish passed and may use any arcer you want BUT
%
% 1) It must reside in your path.
%
% 2) Your file will be archived with the extension of .Axx where
%    xx is the last two positions of the Julian date (just like
%    the standard FIDONET Nodediff even if you use PAK, ZIP etc.
%
% 3) You must have enough memory to shell out to DOS to perform the
%    archive. It is run from a temporary batch file created.
%
%  Example: My 141-701.344 file would be archived to 141-701.A44
%
% Use whatever method you use to distribute your nodediff to distribute
% the created archive. None is provided in CAR.

%
% Use UpLink to specify the address of where you wish to send your compiled file
% (NOT YOUR REPORT!). In this case it would hold the created file 141-700.CAR
% for pick-up by 141/110.
%
%
UpLink 141/110
%
% Use this to specify your outbound directory (Not your netmail directory).
% This is where your .xLO files reside.
%

%
% Use this to specify what you want done in terms of the file attach.
% Options are: CRASH, NORMAL and HOLD. Default if omitted is NORMAL
%
Mode HOLD
%
% Exclude will cause the CAR to skip any reporting on an area. A maximum of
% 50 areas can be excluded. Only one area allowed per line.
%
% In this case the conferences ALF_BASHING and KATE_BASHING will not be
% included in either the report, nor passed on in the 141-700.CAR file.
