POSTFIX -- Restores lastread pointers after SQFIX
Version 1.0 (10/12/92)
Written by Bob Quinlan of Austin, Texas, USA
Sysop of Red October at 512-834-2593 (1:382/111)
Copyright 1992 by Bob Quinlan
Compatible with Maximus 2.00 and 2.01
This program is intended to be run after SQFIX and various other
utilities that reset the lastread pointers. It reads a pair of files
(areaname.PFH and areaname.PFL) generated by PREFIX to determine what
lastread pointers assignments to restore.
It uses arrival datestamps to determine where to restore the lastread
pointers. This will usually put the lastread pointers back on the exact
messages where they were originally, but it may occasionally be off by a
few messages.
See the instruction to PREFIX before using POSTFIX.
POSTFIX must be followed by the name of a message area. It will attempt
to restore the lastread pointers for that area. When it is finished it
will delete the .PF? files created by PREFIX.
POSTFIX returns ERRORLEVEL 0 after a successful run. ERRORLEVEL 1 is
returned to indicate an error.
