Copyright (c)1989-93 Robert Vostreys, All Rights Reserved
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax: TXT2MSG [options...] conf# [@filelist] [files...]
conf# refers to a conference number (0..max conf)
files... refers to files to be read for message text
@filelist refers to a textfile listing the files to be processed
Wildcards are accepted for files... and within @filelist lists.
Environ: SET TXT2MSG=[options...] (commandline overrides environment)
SET PCBDAT=d:\dir\PCBOARD.DAT (required if TXT2 can't find it)
PCBOARD.DAT is searched for using PCBDAT= environment, the current
directory, and finally the entire DOS PATH= environment.

-b = bios write -p = public message -sTHIS_SUBJECT = msg subject
-m = monochrome -r = receiver only -fFROM_THIS_NAME = who from

-y = you have mail (update 'to' name that they have mail waiting)
-qd:\dir\ANSWERx (parse questionnaire answers; make msg for each entry)
(NOTE: When using -q, all other files listed are considered CALLERx files
for pulling out the callers log entries for user answering questionnaire).
-t, -f, and -s may be inclosed in ""'s instead of using '_' between words:
"-tTO THIS NAME" "-fFROM THIS NAME" "-sTHIS SUBJECT"
-k# default is 390 lines per message; max is 9999 (-k9999); min is 10 (-k10)
