Hi Neels (ZS2ND),
The Winpack Help file on 7 Plus transmission says:
"The 'parts per day' release works as follows:- Say the file you are
sending has been
split into 9 parts and you choose to release 3 parts per day. All WinPack
mail files
have a time stamp encoded in the file name that is used to store them on
your PC. The
Seven Plus parts will be time stamped 3 with the current time, 3 with the
current time + 1
day and 3 with the current time + 2 days. When WinPack uploads mail to the
BBS, it will
not send a file if the time stamp is ahead of the current time, so your
files will not be sent
until the current time has passed their time stamp."
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
So the first thought that comes to mind if there is one 7 Plus file part
yet to send, but it is not due to send until the next day, is "Change the
date in your PC to next day". Then Winpack will think it is time to send
your final 7 Plus part. Maybe you need to close & restart Winpack when you
change the PC date?
Afterwards you can change the PC date back to be correct.
It might also be possible to change the "time stamp", but it could be
harder than changing the PCs' date (temporarily).
Sometimes the local BBS & Packet channels, by RF, are quiet very late at
night or early in the morning & more than 6 parts of 7 Plus can be sent
(at one time) without being a problem to anyone?
You might ask your local BBS Sysop if she/he agrees, & it will not
overload their forwarding arrangements.
