- SOPMsg Version 2.0
-
- SOPMsg will respond to messages from users to the Sysop. The response
- will be a private message from a dummy CoSysop to the user. I wrote
- SOPMsg so that I would have a means of notifying users that write to
- while I am on vacation, that I am away.
-
- Here is how it works.
- 1) You create a dummy user, a dummy CoSysop, a user name that SOPMsg
- will use when answering mail. You can use QuickBBS's UserEdit
- program to create this Dummy CoSysop. If you use the name "CoSysop"
- for your SOPMsg CoSysop then you won't have to place the name of
- your Dummy CoSysop in the SOPMsg command line. SOPMsg will default
- to "CoSysop". If any other name is used, you will have to use the
- /CoSysop command line option to pass the name you have created to
- SOPMsg, see the command line structure below.
-
- 2) When you want SOPMsg to start answering messages a) Write the
- message that you want SOPMsg to use when replying to users, name it
- SOPMsg1.TXT (the number in the file name is the number of the board
- SOPMsg will be working, a message area number 1 thru 99) and place
- it the SOPMsg directory. Keep line width under 70 characters.
- Run the programs from the directory that SopMsg_.Txt is in.
-
- b) Run SetLast, use optional command line Options as follows.
-
- Option Identifiers must be in caps and the spaces are required.
-

- SetLast /D C:\QuickBBS /B 1 /A John Jamieson /C Will Rogers
