DESCRIPTION

STARTUP
fmbedit will parse ~/.feddirc . Following commands are recognized:

MsgBasePath PATH
    This is the path which contains (or should contain) the 'areas' file and the mail-directorys. Don't forget the tailing slash.

InboundPath PATH
    This is the directory ftoss scans for new pakets. Tailing slash req.!

OutboundPath PATH
    This is the 'root' of the BINKLEY-outbound. For example Binkley uses '/usr/spool/fnet/outbound' as outbound, then OutboundPath must be set to '/usr/spool/fnet/' (tailing slash req.).

UtilityPath PATH
    fmbedit searchs this path for utilities (template '#|' or textedit: pipe-region).

CopyPath PATH
    Where to keep the backups.

NodelistPath PATH
    Where are the nodelist files? Perhaps in this directory!

Log FILE [LIMIT]
    This specifies the Logfile (full path req). LIMIT must be a number and sets the maximum size for the log. fmbedit will truncate the log, if it is to long.

Printer OUT OF FEDDIRC
    If you call print message (M-p) fmbedit will try to pipe the message through a script called printmsg. If you want a formatted message you should use the formatmsg script in the script.

    The unpack call. Defaults to "unpack". The filename will be appended to this command (Please return 0 for success, 1..99 for error and 100 for not packed).

Editor EDITORCALL
