NAME

       crashwrite - Creates PKT file from text file

SYNOPSIS

       crashwrite DIR directory [FROMNAME string] [FROMADDR node] [TONAME string] [TOADDR node] [SUBJECT string] [AREA area] [ORIGIN origin] [TEXT
       filename] [NOMSGID] [FILEATTACH] [PKTFROMADDR node] [PKTTOADDR node] PASSWORD [string]

DESCRIPTION

       CrashWrite reads a text file and creates a .pkt file that can be processed by CrashMail. This can be used to post announcements	and  other
       messages  in  areas.  The  best way to use CrashWrite is to let it generate packets in a separate directory and then toss them with TOSSDIR
       NOSECURITY.

       There are many keywords for CrashWrite. All keywords are optional except for DIRECTORY. If you do not enter a keyword, a default value will
       be used.

OPTIONS

       FROMNAME string
       FROMADDR node
       TONAME string
       TOADDR node
       SUBJECT string
	      Use these keywords to set the header of the message. You only need to enter TONAME and TOADDR for netmails.

       PKTFROMADDR node
       PKTTOADDR node
	      Use  these  if  you  want to set the origin and destination address of the packet to something other than the origin and destination
	      address of the message inside the packet. If you do not specify these keywords, FROMADDR and TOADDR will be used for the	packet	as
	      well.

       PASSWORD string
	      You can use this keyword to set a password for the packet. The maximum length of the password is eight characters.

       AREA area
	      The area the message should be posted in. If you do not enter an area, the message will be sent as a netmail.

       ORIGIN origin
	      The origin line for the message. This keyword has no effect for netmail messages.

       DIR directory
	      The directory where the packet should be placed.

       TEXT filename
	      The name of a text file that should be included as the message text.

       NOMSGID
	      Prevents CrashWrite from adding a MSGID line.

       FILEATTACH
	      Sets the file-attach flag for netmails. The filename should be put in the subject line.
