- Short: Restores messages from a defective message base
- Author: andre@melior.s.bawue.de (Andre Schenk)
- Uploader: andre@melior.s.bawue.de (Andre Schenk)
- Version: 1.1
- Type: comm/ums
- Replaces: comm/ums/UMSSalve1_0.lha
-
- This program is based on the source code of UMSDoctor. It tries to restore
- as many as possible messages from a defective message base.
-
- UMSSalve understands the following parameters:
-
- OUTFILE/A name of the output file in export format
- SERVER/K name of UMS server
- DEEP/S deep mode
- DEBUG/S debug output
-
- The deep switch is the main difference to UMSDoctor. In this mode UMSSalve
- builds an index from the file ".header". So it is able to find all
- messages very quickly. The disadvantage is the high consumption of memory.
-
- First try the normal mode. If you find out that UMSSalve stops in the
- middle and needs a long time to store the next messages then try the deep
- mode. If you have enough RAM, then you should always use the deep mode.
-
- If the debug switch is set the program prints out the header offset and the
- text offset for every message.
-
- Please read the file "UMSDoctor.readme" to get further information.
-
- Important:
- ----------
-
- You must use at least version 2.5 of the program "import", if you want to
- reimport the salved messages into another message base.
