	1. fidoip - SOFTWARE INSTALLATION PACKAGE FOR FREEBSD, LINUX, WINDOWS AND DRAGONFLY BSD
 
Basically fidoip  intended for IP-points, but with additional adjustment of configuration files can be a basis for installation of IP-node. One of useful features fidoip is cross-platform installation, you could ease and quickly move from Windows to any modern distribution of Linux, and then from Linux migrate to FreeBSD or DragonFly BSD, and then to return back to Windows using your bases of fido-messages. Besides of this, you can use USB-flash disk as storage of bases of messages that will allow you to use your fido on different PCs and on various operating systems in the same time. Installation of fidoip was tested at Slackware, Slamd64, Fedora Core, OpenSUSE, Ubuntu, Mandriva and Arch Linux, FreeBSD, DragonFly BSD and Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7.

fidoip - (fido software installation package of binkd, husky hpt and GoldEd-NSF ) consists of: 

Contents of archive fidoip-1.0.5_3.tar:

New Hypertext FIdonet technology - Fidonet Global Hypertext Interface

fidoip venison 1.0.5_2 and higher support Fidonet Global Hypertext Interface FGHI. Author FGHI and idea of Fidonet Global Hypertext Interface is Sergey Sokoloff (aka Mithgol the Webmaster - system operator of node 2:5063/88). Description of FGHI standard on English you could find in http://fghi.pp.ru/?area://Ru.FTN.Develop/?msgid=2:5063/88+4a0d1707. Standard FHGI was impemented by Konstantin Kuzov, sysop of node 2:5019/40) by changing GoldEd+ to fork named GoldEd-NSF. Configuration of fidoip is already setup with using FGHI by this way:

If you press ' key and select URL which you whould like to go. Please see Picture 1 1 http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/fidoip/index.php?title=File:Fidoip3.jpg

If this is Internet URL then browser will start in athother windows and open URL. Pleas see Picture 2 http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/fidoip/index.php?title=File:Fidoip4.jpg

If you select URL to FidoNet message there are possible to variant:

1. If message is already in local database then GoldEd-NSF will open message using the link.
2. If message is not in local database of messages then GoldEd-NSF will pass the URL to wget which download message FGHI-compatible gateway which have database of messages for different areas http://fghi.pp.ru/?list Then message will downloaded and GoldEd-NSF open it.

Also there are keys:

"\" - to go to first found URL from top of message

"/" - insert URL and to to this URL - Please see Picture 3 http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/fidoip/index.php?title=File:Fidoip5.jpg

And in configuration of template golded.tpl there used @OFGHIUrl macro which is useful to set URL to original FidoNet message when you are forward this message or reply on it.

       2. INSTALLATION fidoip IN FREEBSD

1. Setup FreeBSD ports collection and update it as this described in FreeBSD Handbook; 2. As root extract fidoip from tarball: 

su

tar -xpf fidoip-1.0.5_3.tar

cd fidoip-1.0.5

3. Connect to Internet, then run script fido_freebsd.sh: 

./fido_freebsd.sh login

where login - is login name you using(NOT root!) 

This will start creation and installation all necessary packages on FreeBSD then install binkd, husky hpt and Golded-NSF. If you wiil see questions "Run binkd as user [fido]?" ? "Enter group name for binkd user [fido]?" - simply press ENTER. 

4. After previous step are finished then run setup_config.bash: 

/usr/local/bin/bash ./setup_config.bash

This script will ask you some questions about your name, your FTN-address, your location, hostname/IP-address of your node, password and then will create configuration for you. 

5. For removing Russian language support run script: 

/usr/local/bin/bash ./clear_fidoip_files.sh


6. Then you need set right permissions using set_perm.sh script: 

./set_perm.sh login

where login is your login name. Login as your login and use recv script for reciving, send script for senting and ge - for starting Golded-NSF. These scripts located in /usr/local/bin/ directory.

For other, not mention Linux distros you need zip, unzip, bzip2, gcc, c++(g++) and ncurses-devel(or libncurses5-dev) and gettext(this package install on most all Linux by default)

3. Run script

./fido_linux.sh login

where login - is login name you using(NOT root!)

If you using 64-bit Linux distro instead of running of fido_linux.sh run this script:

./fido_linux.64.sh login

If you Ubuntu user use sudo for this and all below script.

Also if you are using Debian/Ubuntu instead of scripts fido_linux.sh and fido_linux.64.sh you could use packages:

for 32-bit Debian/Ubuntu

dpkg -i lnx-packages/32bit/deb/fidoip_1.0.5-2_i386.deb

for 64-bit Debian/Ubuntu

dpkg -i lnx-packages/64bit/deb/fidoip_1.0.5-2_amd64.deb

3. After finishing compiling and installation run ./relinkapps.sh for relinking of links and libraries:

./relinkapps.sh

4. Then run setup_config.bash:

./setup_config.bash

This script asks you some questions about your name, your FTN-address, your location, hostname/IP-address of your node and password and then will create configuration for you.

5. For removing Russian language support as root run script:

./clear_fidoip_files.sh

6. Then you need set right permissions using script set_perm.sh:

./set_perm.sh login

Where login is your login name.

Login as your login and use recv script for receiving, send script for sending and ge - for starting Golded-NSF. These scripts are in /usr/local/bin/ directory. Do not forget to set PATH /usr/local/bin/ in your profile /home/your_login/.bashrc:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin


	7. INSTALLATION ON WINDOWS

1. Extract archive fidoip_win-1.0.5_3.zip in root directory of any logical disk. After extraction 2 directories will be created: \usr - for binaries and scripts \home - for fido messages bases

For example if you place fidoip_win-1.0.5_3.zip to root directory D: drive and extract. Then fidoip will be installed in d:\usr and d:\home directories. Or if you place fidoip_win32.zip to root directory of C: drive and extract then fidoip will be installed in c:\usr and c:\home directories.

2. Open with Notepad editor file \usr\setup_config.vbs. Change follow 8 rows:

const yourFullName = "Vasiliy Pampasov" - instead of Vasiliy Pampasov set here your name;
const yourFTNAddress = "2:5020/828.555" - Set here your FTN-address;
const yourStationName = "MyStation" - Set here name of your station;
const yourLocation = "Russia, Moscow" - Set here your location;
const yourUplinkName = "Kirill Temnenkov" - Set here name of Uplink;
const uplinkFTNAddress = "2:5020/828" - Set here Uplink FTP-address;
const uplinkServerName = "temnenkov.dyndns.org" - Set here host name or IP of you boss;
const yourPassword = "12345678" - Set here you password.

After you edit this file then save it and close.

3. Run \usr\setup_config.vbs file by clickig mouse ot it twice. This file will make configuration files for you.

Binkd and Husky hpt config files located in \usr\fidoconf\

Check them and change zone 2 to your zone - configurator setup_config.vbs do not do it yet.

USING FIDOIP IN WINDOWS

For receiving and sending messages use \usr\bin\rs.bat script. For starting Golded-NSF use script \usr\bin\ge.bat. You could create shortcut to these file and place it on Desktop.


	8. USING fidoip IN FREEBSD/LINUX/DRAGONFLY BSD

Script /usr/local/bin/recv - use for receiving only;

Script /usr/loca/bin/send - use for receiving and sending;

Script /usr/local/bin/ge - use for starting of Golded-NSF

Configuration files in FreeBSD/Linux located in /usr/local/etc/:

/usr/local/etc/binkd.cfg - settings of binkd mailer;
/usr/local/etc/fido/config - setting of husky hpt tosser;
/usr/local/etc/golded+/golded.cfg - settings of Golded-NSF editor;

	9. CONFIGURATION FILES OF fidoip IN WINDOWS

Binkd and Husky hpt config files located in \usr\fidoconf\
Check them and change zone 2 to your zone if configurator setup_config.vbs didn't make it yet.

Golded config, template and other files located in \usr\golded+\ For English language users and other users your need clean up Russian specific Cyrillic setting in \usr\golded+\ golded.cfg ATTENTION! For English and other Non-Russian users for Windows your need comment Russian specific Cyrillic setting in \usr\golded+\golded.cfg . Here is this option:

;XLATPATH 
;XLATLOCALSET 
;XLATIMPORT 
;XLATEXPORT 
;XLATCHARSET 
;XLATCHARSET
;LOADLANGUAGE 


Then remove file \usr\golded+\goldlang.cfg. In file \usr\golded+\golded.cfg you need to change description of echoes, options of ImportBegin and ImportEnd. Edit also file \usr\golded+\golded.tpl and clean up Russian in this template.

Under Windows you need to do it manually, if you are using Linux, FreeBSD or DragonFly BSD you could use clear_cyrillic.bash script for automatic clear of soupport of russian language.
