EXPAND
EXPAND's purpose in life is to allow the sysop to EXPAND the size of
his/her message file (CTDLMSG.SYS). This makes it easy to move increase
the size which will reduce the scrolling of messages in rooms.
EXPAND expects to the system to be in its normal setup. Simply call
EXPAND without arguments. Once it has loaded CTDLTABL.SYS, it will
display the current size of the message file, and then ask for the new
size. Answer in Kbytes. Now EXPAND will do it's job. this may take a
while since the file must be extended and messages may have to be updated
Be patient. The program will display a progress indicator.
Once the program is done, it will say so, and will also tell you that
there is no reason to reconfigure. This is true.
If you feel really insecure and must have a verify of the message base,
then do the following:
1) Shut down Citadel.
2) Before running Expand, backup your CTDLCNFG.SYS, and CTDLMSG.SYS
files. It is a good idea to do this anyway.
3) Type in the command: EXPAND and answer the questions about size.
4) Edit your CTDLCNFG.SYS file to represent the new size.
5) delete the ctdltabl.sys file
6) run CONFG with no parameters and answer N to the ERASE message.
7) Restart the BBS
8) Login and do a .RGF(READ-GLOBAL-FORWARD), If you have problems
Citadel will give complaints (Opps, cannot find...). If you run
into problems, you backed up your files so recovery is easy...
I never ran into problems(and nobody reported any) so you should
not need this proceedure, but it does give you warm fuzzies so
here it is.
