VIRTADMN
This utility is the Virtual Room Administrator for Citadel, and as
such is of interest only to backbones with heavy traffic. The motivation
and usefulness of VIRTADM are explained in Section III.3.i of
Network3.Man.
VIRTADM has two modes to it. The first mode, interactive, is
accessed by simply typing 'VIRTADM' at the DOS command line. It will
place you in a primitive but adequate menu driven system which will let
you add, delete, and modify virtual rooms from your system.
The second mode is 'batch' mode. This mode is used to allow VIRTADM
to delete 'virtual' messages from your system which are no longer needed,
that is, which have already been delivered to all eligible systems. We
suggest this be run fairly often to keep your disks from running out of
room, as some net rooms have fairly high traffic levels. Consider using
an external event to run Batch mode, possibly as part of an automated
backup procedure. Invocation of batch mode is by typing 'VIRTADM +batch'
at the command line.
There is one more option which may be used with VIRTADM, in both the
interactive and batch modes, and that is the 'log' option. When used,
the results of the operation of VIRTADM will be placed in your
NETLOG.SYS file. Simply add '+log' to the command line if you wish this
to occur.
***NOTE** this utility has not been tested, just a straight port has been
done. I would suggest backing up your system if you plan on using it.
