ipramstxt

This program is used to add FipHdr fields matched against a key field in a
RamsTxt file. The original header and text are left untouched.

Keywords for RamsTxt parameter file are :
    ; comment line7
    extra-fiphdr:   more fixed Fip Hdr fields to add to the file (before any new
matched additions)

    send-headers-without-data:no/yes
    source:IDN
    end-of-line:<fipBR>\n
        Change the end of line
    balance-group: (group name)
        This puts a copy of each file in 2balance.  default: none
    ignore-drops:no/yes
        Do not forwards drop messages           default: no
    redun-sys:(host1),(host2)
        This adds an 'SZ' source redundancy to the incoming file
        and leaves a copy in spool/2net         default: no
    track-xt-type:                      default: no
        This adds <FipTextType-TW:X> or TW:T markers in the text
    send-data-only:
        Send data files only, not the headline-only files as well.
    convert-data:yes/no             default: no
        Convert data and Headline to either ISO or UTF8 depending on the original
data
        The FipHdr field T6 is set to 'ISO8859' for ISO-8859-1 or 'UTF8' for UTF-8
    ignore-deletes:(yes/no) deletes are normally passed thru

    ignore-pnac: (pnac)             default: none
        Ignore all segments or bd recods for this PNAC
        There can be 100 ignores...

Where sections of FipHdr fields are required or changes to the output style,
use keywords : fixed, partial, combie, optional, repeat, newdate and/or style.
(see The SysAdmin manual for more information).

    They are normally specified :
        fixed:QZ    1234543
        partial:QT  ST,3,2,U,<,>
        combie:QY   ep|na,(0000000)a
        option:QE   ep,11,7,s
        repeat:QK   XK,-,3
    or  repeat:QP   PK,,4,#X
        style:QS    XN,%.03d

Input Parameters are :
Mandatory
    -P : Port number to listen on           no default.
Optional
    -C : Log interval               default: 600  (for 10 mins)
        set to zero for no logging
    -l : log totals of files every 10 mins      default: do not log
    -L : log files in               default: do not log
    -o : output queue               default: spool/ramsfilter
        If this does NOT start with a '/', it is assumed under spool.
    -s : local hostname             default: main IP address/hostname
    -U : allow udp ports with the main tcp      default: use TCP
    -z : default parameter file in tables/setup default: RamsTxt
