1.0 What is DeTrash.
Detrash will cull entries from your PCBVerify trashcan file that are no
longer in your user file. Detrash uses the index files for your user file,
and indicates which trashcan entries are Not Found, while showing those
entries that are. The Found entries are written to standard out and can be
redirected to a file.
This is version 1.1, for the PCBVVER style of PCBVerify verified numbers
"trashcan" of the format:
"000-000-0000","FIRST LAST","MM-DD-YYYY"
2.0 Setup and Usage.
Arguments are:
DETRASH [drv:\path for index files] [drv:\path\name for trashcan]
Example:
DETRASH C:\PCB\MAIN C:\PCB\VERIFY\PCBVVER
Notes:
- the files "FOUND" and "NFOUND" are automatically created in the current
directory for names that are found and not found respectively.
- The drv:\path for the index files MUST NOT have a trailing slash.
- There should be no trailing blank lines in the trashcan file. They will
not affect the non-trash file, but will show up as Not Found.
- DeTrash expects lines in the following format:
"000-000-0000","FIRST LAST","MM-DD-YYYY"
- no leading spaces, or spaces other than in the name.
- one space between first and last names.
NOTE!!!! - if you use the UPDATE.EXE supplied with PCBVERIFY to
convert your old trashcan file, there may be more than on space
between first and last names. A good text editor works wonders.
- the lastname can be multiple strings (as in MC ARTHUR, or JONES, JR.)
3.0 Other Programs Available from Mushin BBS and Chesbro Computer Consultants.
DeTrash - Culls entries from a PCBVerify trashcan file that no longer exist
in your user file.
MoveConf - Swap conferences around. Totally handles all details, including
new user registration conferences, current user registrations (areas
registered, areas scanned, expired areas), last conference in,
conference message pointers, and the entire CNAMES data file.
AddConf - Add conference registrations to a group of users based on their
current conference registration. Security levels are ignored and
last message read pointers are set to zero only if the user is not
already registered in the new conference(s).
Txt2Msg - Places a text file into a PCBoard message base from the DOS command
line. Many options and uses for automated script to message
conversion, automated new user registration messages, quick
informational or warning messages, more.
RenumMsg - Renumbers a PCBoard message base. Will start either from a stated
number or calculate the proper starting message number based on the
current high message number and the number of active messages. The
second option upsets the fewest high message read pointers. Properly
updates the message base index.
ResetMsg - Scan all messages bases and resets last message read pointers in all
users to -not higher than- the current high message for each message
area.
Use2Msg - Fully configurable Usenet Message to PCBoard message Base convertor.
Incoming Only. Handles message base index; no need to pack or
re-index. Very fast, large number of options for conversion and
processing.
FixCity - Using a SYSOP buildable conversion table of cities in your area
and their common abbreviations and mispellings, corrects the CITY
field in your user file. Reports cities it does not know about yet,
allowing you to build and continue to add to your city name
conversion table.
