Description: Update the Users.BBS file to reflect the High Message Read
variable based on the values contained within the LastRead.BBS file.
I became aware of the fact that whenever the renumber option was used
with MsgPack - even though the LastRead.BBS file was updated to
reflect the new High Message number, the Users.BBS file WAS NOT updated
with this new High Message number. This results in the ever present "No
New Messages Found" message even though you KNOW there are TONS of new
Messages! This utility ought to be run whenever you do a renumber on
your message base.
This is a simple Utility that will read all the records in the
LastRead.BBS file and update the User Records in USERS.BBS to reflect
the new High Message Read. The Users.BBS file will be renamed to
Users.Bak - just in case of problems. Please be sure that no Users.Bak
file exists when you run this program.
Source code is included for those of you who wish to expand on the
functionality.
