Introduction
SqMLink will link your message areas using the MSGID and REPLY kludges
(not based on the subject fields like Squish). This means that replies
truly are replies, not simply a message with the same subject. This
also means that a message can have several replies (the squish format
supports ten replies, but the *.msg format only one, that is why
SqMLink only links squish format areas).
Usage
Don't use any other linker on the areas that you use SqMLink. You must
run SqMLink with the -C option the first time on all areas that
SqMLink will link (to clear out old links). This needs only be done
once. SqMLink can be run in two different ways:
Format 1:
SQMLINK area [-C]
area is the filename of the area. Don't use the extension. Example:
SQMLINK c:\msg\TUB
If you use -C SqMLink won't link anything, instead it will clear all
links. Example:
SQMLINK c:\msg\TUB -C
Format 2:
SQMLINK [-Aareas.bbs] [-Ssquish.cfg] [-Fechotoss.log] [-C]
With the -A option (substitute areas.bbs with the name and path of
your areas.bbs file) SqMLink will link all squish echomail areas in
the areas.bbs file. Example:
SQMLINK -Ac:\tosser\areas.bbs
The -S option is the same as -A, but it will link all areas in
squish.cfg instead. Example:
SQMLINK -Sc:\squish\squish.cfg
The -F option makes SqMLink link only the areas found in the
echotoss.log file. (Use the one squish and BBS programs creates) This
option must be used with -A or -S because SqMLink finds the actual
file names in areas.bbs or squish.cfg. Example:
SQMLINK -Sc:\squish\squish.cfg -Fc:\max\echotoss.log
If you use -C SqMLink won't link anything, instead it will clear all
links. Example:
SQMLINK -Sc:\squish\squish.cfg -C
The excellent MsgAPI (Scott J. Dudley) is used in this program.
"Squish" is a trademark of Scott J. Dudley.
SqMLink is freeware.
