31. How to Create a Poll Correctly.
To create a poll in BSO one should create an empty file NNNNMMMM.ilo,
NNNNMMMM.clo, NNNNMMMM.dlo or NNNNMMMM.flo. The filename consists of the
hexadecimal net number (first 4 characters), the hexadecimal node number
(the characters from 5 to 8), the dot, the flavor attribute character
(i = immediate, c = crash, d = direct, f = normal) and two characters "lo".
Certainly you should not create the file, if it already exists. Moreover
you should not overwrite it to avoid losing your mail.
The most universal command (it works under DOS, Windows, OS/2, UNIX
clones, CP/M and many others) is
cd . >>NNNNMMMM.flo
Such a command also works under DOS, Windows, OS/2:
type nul >>NNNNMMMM.flo
You may choose one of the following commands for UNIX clones:
touch NNNNMMMM.flo
echo -n "" >>NNNNMMMM.flo
cat /dev/null >>NNNNMMMM.flo
