       CrashWrite reads a text file and creates a .pkt file that can be processed by CrashMail. This can be used
       to post announcements and other messages in areas. The best way to use CrashWrite is to let  it  generate
       packets in a separate directory and then toss them with TOSSDIR NOSECURITY.

       There  are  many  keywords  for CrashWrite. All keywords are optional except for DIRECTORY. If you do not
       enter a keyword, a default value will be used.

FROMNAMEstringFROMADDRnodeTONAMEstringTOADDRnodeSUBJECTstring
              Use these keywords to set the header of the message. You only need to enter TONAME and TOADDR  for
              netmails.

       PKTFROMADDRnodePKTTOADDRnode
              Use  these  if you want to set the origin and destination address of the packet to something other
              than the origin and destination address of the message inside the packet. If you  do  not  specify
              these keywords, FROMADDR and TOADDR will be used for the packet as well.

       PASSWORDstring
              You  can  use this keyword to set a password for the packet. The maximum length of the password is
              eight characters.

       AREAarea
              The area the message should be posted in. If you do not enter an area, the message will be sent as
              a netmail.

       ORIGINorigin
              The origin line for the message. This keyword has no effect for netmail messages.

       DIRdirectory
              The directory where the packet should be placed.

       TEXTfilename
              The name of a text file that should be included as the message text.

       NOMSGID
              Prevents CrashWrite from adding a MSGID line.

       FILEATTACH
              Sets the file-attach flag for netmails. The filename should be put in the subject line.
