msgFind [1.0] written on 24 Jan 90 by W. Berghofer @ 2:310/11.100
-----------------------------------------------------------------
usage: msgfind d:\subdir\filename.ext firstname_lastname > device
This utility may be used to scan an entire echomail message base
for messages addressed to a specific person. Its output can be
redirected to any disk file or device. The message format used by
this program is the *.MSG-format used currently in Fido- or Opus-
style FidoNet node or point environments.
The first command line parameter is interpreted as full qualified
filename of an Areas.Bbs-like plain ASCII file as used in Conf-
Mail- or Qmail-installations. The second command line parameter
is the name of the person to scan the messages areas for. An
underscore character ("_", hex 5F) must be used to separate the
first and the last name.
The output contains the name of the echomail area, the message
numbers of already received and probably new messages.
Execution speed on a 6 Mhz IBM XT model 286, 512 kb disk cache in
expanded memory: 33 seconds for 614 messages, equaling an average
of 18.6 message checks per second.
Program limits: 255 echomail areas, 500 messages per area.
Please send bug reports, suggestions for improvement or other
wishes concerning the program to Werner Berghofer, 2:310/11.100,
+43-222-8047404, HST speed. Feel free to distribute and use the
program in any way you wish as long as you don't sell it.
Werner Berghofer, Vienna, January 24th, 1990.
