MSWAITIN.EXE - Mark Shasby's GT mail waiting utility.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a GTLOGON.BAT filler - preferably the first utility in there so
that people don't get time to control-C it. It reports all unRECV'D mail to
the punter in areas accessed by the punter since the "last read" pointer.
There is an optional parameter to instruct the program to check ONE area of
your choice even if the punter has never entered that area. Use this with care
as it could unnecessarily slow down the logon if there are hundreds of messages
in this area because the "last read" pointer will obviously be at the first
message. The use of this, however, is probably to check the "sysop message
area" as a punter could have used the option "M" to write to the area and have
a reply without having entered the area.
To force reading of an area use the parameter "force n" where n is the area
number - e.g. "mswaitin force 3" in my particular case.
As with all my utilities, this is freeware so you can pass it around as much as
you want - PROVIDING my name stays attached somewhere.
If you have any ideas of other GT utilities please leave me a message as I am
always looking for things to write.
