MBUTIL PURGE

     Usage:

          MBUTIL Purge [-File <file>] [<criteria>] [-Convert <output>]

      The Purge command can be used to delete messages based on <criteria>
      specified per board, like age, received status or maximum number  of
      messages.  <criteria> can  be a  command line  or a text <file> with
      lines in the following format:

          [<board>] [-All] [-Days <days>] [-Rcvd] [-Msgs <number>]

      <file> can also be "RemoteAccess" or "TosScan", which will use their
      files, if found in the current path.

      If  you  add  '-Convert <output>' ,   you  can convert TosScan or RA
      information to a <output> text file. If you use '-Msgs <msgs>  -Days
      <days> -Rcvd -Convert <output>', your AreasFile will be converted to
      purge file format. You may put comments after a ; in a text <file>.

      If  you use '-File  <file> -Days <days>  -Msgs <msgs>', <days>   and
      <msgs> will  apply  to  all boards for which the number of Days/Msgs
      was not defined (zero) in <file>.

      If you  use '-File <file> <board> -Days  <days> -Msgs <msgs>',<days>
      and <msgs> will override the settings in <file>.

      If you use '[-File <file>] [<board>] -Rcvd', received messages  will
      be deleted in <board> or all boards.

      If  you  use  '-File RemoteAccess [...]'  it  will  delete  received
      messages in all boards  where the "Days After Received  Messages are
      Killed" value in RACONFIG is non-zero.

      If you want to,  you can still retrieve deleted  messages with
      'MBUTIL Undelete', described later.

      Switches:

          -All        Delete all messages (won't be used as default)
          -Days       Delete messages older than <days>
          -Rcvd       Delete all received messages
          -Msgs       Delete all except the last <number> messages
          -Convert    Convert AreasFile, MESSAGES.RA or AREAFILE.FD

     Examples:

     ; Delete messages  older than 2 weeks  and received messages on  board
     10.
       MBUTIL Purge #10 -Days 14 -Rcvd

     ; Delete messages in SYSOPS.028 according to information in MBUTIL.PUR
       MBUTIL Purge -File MBUTIL.PUR SYSOPS.028
