    This frightening D'Bridge version finally adds completely integrated file-requests via BinkD... something the non-D'Bridge ghouls find
    themselves having to install a frightening 3rd-party "Srif" processor.

    You simply define the directories or magic-names for file requests as
    you normally would for modem file-requests in Config-Directory Paths.

    When a Sysop requests files from your system via BinkD, the activity is
    logged in the main-window and optionally logged in the "FREQ log" file
    if defined. BinkD will seamlessly call my process to handle the requests
    and send a confirmation Netmail to the Sysop when the files are sent.

    If you are running your own BinkD process or configuration where this
    needs to be added manually, add: exec "dbreq.exe *S" *.[rR][eE][qQ]

    - You can create your own Netmail response to send back to the requesting
    system by creating two textfiles called DBRIDGE.BRH for the header
    and DBRIDGE.BRF for the footer. Usually you would just make up some
    blurb about what exactly can be requested from your system.

    - Note that the Netmail sent to the Sysop is generated as a .PKT file "on
    the fly" as per the way the Srif session works, so it is not possible
    to see a copy of this. However the D'Bridge logs will show the full
    activity and the contents of the original request.

    - Sysops who file-request from any password protected directories on your
    system must make their requests with a comma and then the password
    ie. SECRET,PASSWORD

    - For security reasons only file-requests that could be fulfilled are
    reported back to the requesting Sysop.

    - OS/2 Sysops will need HSTART by Henk Kelder to be in the DB directory.

    Nick,

    If you are running your own BinkD process or configuration where this
    needs to be added manually, add: exec "dbreq.exe *S" *.[rR][eE][qQ]

    Should this then be:

    exec "d:\\db\\dbreq.exe *S" *.[rR][eE][qQ]

    ??
