Comments and instructions follow for RESETHIGH.
This program should not be needed by anyone, but ...
On my MEBBSNet 1.168 system, the reset high message pointer routine
does not work for message areas with numbers higher than 128.
I assume that that bug exists in all MEBBSNet BBS systems, and it
may someday be fixed. Until then, this program will reset your
high message read pointers for all message areas.
The usual disclaimer applies: You use this program at your own
risk. I am not responsible for any changes to your data or troubles
caused to your system if you run my program.
The program makes a large assumption:
Your BBS must run from an assignment for MEBBSNet:
and the file with user data is named user.dat
and is in the MEBBSNet: directory.
If your system is different, I would be happy to change my program
just for you. All you have to do is ask. No configuration files
are needed for RESETHIGH.
The program can be run from about anywhere, even a floppy. Just
call it from the shell or a script by name. Enter RESETHIGH h
or any command line argument to see a short description of what
it does.
Since RESETHIGH was written with the GNU C Compiler, you will need
to have an appropriate version of ixemul.library in your sys:libs
directory. Any version numbered 39 or higher will be OK.
The ixemul.library archive is now quite large, and various versions
of the library exist for the various Motorola CPUs found in Amigas.
So the library archive is not included here.
RESETHIGH was written by me, Robert Davis of the Boarding House BBS.
