Hello digimaus!

With Synchronet, in my case, I had to write a script. There's a bug
in FreeBSD that causes it to omit some letters from text strings.
But I managed to fix it manually with JavaScript...

The problem is that with Binkd + Golded and Crashmail, it's
impossible. I guess I'll have to do it the old-fashioned way, with
a shell script.

It works, but... surely there's an easier way to do it.

#!/bin/sh

ADDR="$1"
FILE="$2"

if [ -z "$ADDR" ] || [ -z "$FILE" ]; then
    echo "Use: $0 Z:N/NODE FILE"
    exit 1
fi

ZONE="${ADDR%%:*}"
REST="${ADDR#*:}"
NET="${REST%%/*}"
NODE="${REST#*/}"

dec2hex2() {
    printf "%04x" "$1"
}

dec2hex1() {
    printf "%03x" "$1"
}

NETHEX=$(dec2hex2 "$NET")
NODEHEX=$(dec2hex2 "$NODE")
ZONEHEX=$(dec2hex1 "$ZONE")

FNAME="${NETHEX}${NODEHEX}"

OUTBOUND_BASE="/home/lmd/fido/mail/outbound"
OUTBOUND_ZONE="/home/lmd/fido/mail/outbound.${ZONEHEX}"

#Final directory
if [ -d "$OUTBOUND_ZONE" ]; then
    OUTDIR="$OUTBOUND_ZONE"
else
    OUTDIR="$OUTBOUND_BASE"
fi

REQ="${OUTDIR}/${FNAME}.req"
CLO="${OUTDIR}/${FNAME}.clo"

# Minimum check
[ -d "$OUTDIR" ] || {
    echo "Error: no existe el directorio $OUTDIR"
    exit 1
}

# Create files
echo "$FILE" > "$REQ" || exit 1
echo "$REQ"  > "$CLO" || exit 1

echo "FREQ created successfully:"
echo "  Address   : $ADDR"
echo "  File      : $FILE"
echo "  Directory : $OUTDIR"
echo "  REQ       : $REQ"
echo "  CLO       : $CLO"
