    I used to use Allfix when I was still running RG and Proboard and I don't
    think you can do that.

    Of course I could be 100% wrong too.

    dude, ANSI mess is really really really ugly when viewed raw... i didn't have a clue what you wrote until someone else responded to you...

    the areamgr.tpl file says the following...


    %RESEND [fileecho]:[filename]
    To request that ALLFIX resend a certain file in a
    specific fileecho. Wildcards may be used.


    so that would seem to indicate that you could send

    %RESEND fidonews:*

    or maybe

    %RESEND fidonets:*.*

    to get all of the files in the FIDONEWS FDN sent to you...


    NOTE1: the colon (":") appears to be required... apparently if you don't know what FDN a file was distributed in, you could do something like

    %RESEND :somefile.zip

    and get it from which ever FDN it is in... maybe even several of them if there are several files with the same name...


    NOTE2: this information comes from ALLFIX v5.13.004... it may or may not be accurate for other versions of ALLFIX...

    hahaha... either way, something converted them :shrug: ;)

    what you see above is all there is in the way of explanation, too... %RESEND is
    mentioned in the documentation only twice... once telling you where to find more information and the second time in the section about the MGR command...
