CIMCAT (Compuserve Information Manager <tm>) conCATenator.
This program is run from within a directory containing 1 or more
*.THD files, downloaded message threads in a CIM cabinet directory.
Output is to the Standard Output Device (screen, unless redirected
to a file) and is the ASCII conversion of the message threads.
In appearance, it is as if you had logged on with an ASCII capture
file and given a "read thread" command.
Usage:
first, change directory to the desired cabinet, such as the CIM
support forum:
cd \cserve\cabinet\ciscimsu.p
then run the program with a suitable file redirection:
cimcat >891230.cim
which might, for example, convert and concatenate the cim forum threads
from the 30th of December. These ASCII files may then be printed,
archived, searched, or anything else you'd do with a capture file.
While it is processing, it will display the file it is reading, the
subject (topic), how many messages it found for that subject, and
how many messages overall it has found.
