# ATP configuration file.
# NOTE: a SPACE must reside on either side of the `=' sign!
#
# Most of this needs no explanation. Be sure to set the proper paths
# for you incoming mail and outgoing replies.
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# You must put your name here.
#
User = Your Name 
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Define the editor you wish to use for replies:
#
#editor = vde
editor = vile
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Here is where we set the paths to the directories which will hold your
# QWK mail packets and replies. Please enter the correct path information
# on the lines below:
#
mail  =  /spool
reply =  /spool
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Normally you don't need to change the next lines, but PLEASE
# get a current version of zip and unzip. Info-Zip Unzip 5.1 and
# Zip 1.9 are current. 
#
archiver = zip -jk
unarchiver = unzip -xjo
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Specify your spelling checker. Ispell is recommended for Unix systems
# and OS/2. ShareSpell could be used under MS-DOS. Ispell is available
# from prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu
#
speller = ispell
#speller = ss
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# The following lines tell ATP about your terminal. Generally, you will
# want to leave ansi on. ATP is optimized for ANSI consoles, so there
# are no guarantees about setting ansi off. Cursor placement is dependant
# on ANSI positioning sequences. ATP will support color too. If you have
# a monochrome terminal you may find that setting color to off gives
# a more readable screen. Experiment and see.
# 
ansi = on
color = on
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Normally, ATP will try to determine your screen width and length
# automatically. However, if there is a problem, ATP will fall back
# on these values. Set "screenlen" to the length of your screen and
# set "screencol" to the width of your screen.
#
screenlen = 24
screencol = 80
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# The following option tells ATP about your terminal's character set.
# You have 3 choices: latin1, msdos, or, 7bit. If your terminal
# can display foreign language characters choose either "latin1" or
# "msdos". Otherwise choose 7bit. Linux uses latin1. By choosing msdos
# ATP will not perform any character translation when displaying messages.
# Note that even if your operating system runs on a PC, it may not use
# the DOS character codes (Linux uses "latin1" for example). If your terminal 
# can not display 8 bit characters, please tell ATP by choosing "7bit".
# If this following character in the brackets looks like an "A" with
# 2 dots then choose "latin1":
#                                 [ Ä ] <<< test character.
#
# If it looks like a long dash or horizontal bar then choose "msdos".
# If it looks like a "D" then choose 7bit. This test is not absolutely
# conclusive in that it depends on your editor's ability to display your
# system's character set properly. Some Unix editors will not display
# 8 bit characters even though the system is capable of it. If this
# is the case you may want to try testing this from the Unix command
# line with:
#              echo '\304'
#       
# Here again, some command shells may not display all characters that your
# terminal is capable of displaying. 
#
charset = latin1 
# charset = msdos
# charset = 7bit
# 
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# The next option is useful if your terminal or console is compatible with
# vt100 terminal line-graphics. Most QWK mail is generated under MS-DOS.
# Unfortunately, DOS graphics characters aren't portable to most non-DOS
# systems. However if your hardware is vt100 compatible, this option will
# will give you emulation of the DOS graphics set. Linux users will
# probably want this option set to "on". By typing "graphics" at the
# ATP command line you may toggle this variable on and off. When toggled
# to the on state, a graphics rectangle should be displayed on your console
# as a simple test of whether this option is right for you. Use this test
# if you are in doubt. 
# 
graphics = on
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
# ATP uses the following Unix command string to list QWK packets.
# You may delete this if you want. ATP will then default to a 
# simpler version. When using this version it will put you into `less'
# which is the GNU version of `more'. To return to ATP enter `q'.
# You can also use the keys `u' and `d' to scroll through the QWK list.
# Edit this line anyway you like to cutomize the `qlist' command.
# If you find that this command won't work, make sure you have the
# Unix utilities `cut' and `less' in your path.
#
qlist = ls -lt *.qw? | cut -c 34- | less
#
# Here is one for MS_DOS or OS/2:
# qlist = dir *.qw?
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# ATP uses the following Unix command string to list bulletins. 
# You may delete this if you want. ATP will then default to a 
# simpler version. This works like the above "qlist" command. 
#
blist = ls -lt blt* | cut -c 34- | less
#
# Here is one for MS_DOS or OS/2:
# blist = dir blt-*.*
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# If you want Fido style taglines by default enter `tagstyle = fido' below.
# Of course you can always toggle between tagline styles by typing `fido'
# at ATP's main prompt.
# 
tagstyle = fido 
#tagstyle = normal
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# the following is known as your "persistent" tagline.
#
tagline =   Linux, the choice of a GNU generation. 
#
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# By default, ATP will randomly choose a tagline for your replies from the
# file "taglines.atp" which should reside in the same directory as atprc.
# This option can be turned off at the ATP command line, or you may set it
# so that it defaults to off by defining "autotag = off" below:
#
autotag = on
#
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# The next configuration option is *NOT* usually needed. However,
# if you need the ATP work directory to be on some particular path
# or drive specify it here. 
#
workpath = /tmp
# Here is an example for MS_DOS:
# workpath = D:\tmp
#
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Under ATP there is a "clean" command that will put you into maintenance
# mode for your message bases. One of the options is to truncate a 
# message base to the most recent messages. The following option sets the
# default truncation length. This option can be changed during the
# maintenance process if the need should arise.
#
truncate = 50
#
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# The BBS known as PCBoard supports long subject lines as of PCB 1.5.
# If you would like to have long subject lines then set the following
# option on. Note that not all QWK readers will be able to read your entire
# subject line because most readers are limited to 25 characters. But
# generally there should be no problem. Note that if you use the RIME
# network that you should not use a long subject line when entering a
# routed message, i.e. a message where the first line must read something
# like ->156<-
#
pcb = on
#
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# When replying to a message, ATP generates a reply header which
# mentions the author of the message being responded to. If you wish
# to have no headers then set the following option off.
#
header = on
#
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# If you prefer silent operation set bell = off
bell = off
