VP (AKA VPurge) Modified ConfMail, v4.07
Rename this module to CM.EXE and put it in your \BINK subdirectory over
the previous CM.EXE module. It differs from the original in eight ways.
1. All known null pointer problems are corrected.
2. The problems with Mei and some (Dutchie?) messages causing hangs
or traps are corrected (date formatting).
3. Grunged packet and message header hangs and traps are corrected.
4. If the line in AREAS.BBS has a # before the first Node address,
including as the first character of the line, the area is treated as
a true passthru area: upon full and successful Export of all messages
in that area, they are all deleted and a fresh 1.MSG is created. This
makes it compatible with QMail AREAS.BBS files.
5. The longstanding problem with parsing the commandline for Import or Export
without a -A has been fixed.
6. Commandline switches may now begin with either a "-" or a "/".
7. It can be called without any parameters without serious damage.
8. It now avoids self-destruction when processing messages with really
screwed up message header fields.
This module has now replaced CM.EXE in all the archives at 1:109/301; those
with copies of those archives are encouraged to do the same.
The OS/2 version of this program is available in VP2.ZIP from 1:109/301.
Source for both the VP and VP2 4.07 versions is online and available from
1:109/301 as VP2SRC.LZH, around 107K in size.
