NOTE: Throughly read the docs concerning the new command line switches
and the new parameters. The new parameters are mandatory!
Comments can be addressed to Mike Zakharoff (1:343/36).
------------------ Version 1.3 (03/31/90) ----------------
1) Added "WORKDIR---->" parameter to the MSGTOSS.CFG file.
2) Added "LOGDIR----->" parameter to the MSGTOSS.CFG file.
3) Added "BLANKMSG--->" parameter to the MSGTOSS.CFG file.
4) Added the /FIXC command line switch
5) Added the /WDIR command line switch
6) Modified the display functions (purging, sizing, expanding) to be
more connsistant.
7) Added to the status line the number of messages left to process
(count-down), updated with new packet.
8) Added code to check for message base corruption during mailwaiting
& pre-counting phases, execute FIXMSG is /FIX or /FIXC is active.
9) Added time statistics, purging totals & messages skipped to the
MSGTOSS.LOG file
10) Fixed bug where an extremely small packet from net 269 (or other
net with 0DH in message header) may not always get deleted by
MSGTOSS, causing repeated tossing.
11) Fixed bug where MSGTOSS may not correctly set position 82 of the
checkpoint record (last record in message file) when MAINT%LO and
MAINT%HI are each set to 100 (for ELASTIC operation).
12) Added code so the " Origin:" line will always be formated to a
margin of 79, (as long as the MARGIN is >= 72.)
13) Fixed minor bug where if message base is 100% full the /STAT
command may report number of free records to be -1 (vice 0),
throwing off the Full% column.
14) Added code to make sure MAINT%LO and MAINT%HI are properly set and
abort if not proper ( %LO < %HI, within 0-100).
15) Added code to PAGE excess users to disk of MSGTOSS runs out of
memory during the purging or mailwaiting phases. MSGTOSS could
only handle about 2000 users before, if exceeded would result in
"out of string space" error. New limit is 32000, but is slowed
down if paging is required.
16) New parameter LOGDIR allows selection of where the MSGTOSS.LOG,
MSGTOSS.ERR & MSGTOSS.DUP go.
17) New parameter WORKDIR (work directory, on by /WDIR switch) can be a
RAM disk that will be used (if enough space available) to copy the
message base being purged, sized, or the MSGTOSS.EID file while
tossing. MSGTOSS will automatically copy to/from and delete as
required to keep RAM disk cleared. In addition, if paging excess
users to disk is required, MSGTOSS will use the RAM disk if
possible.
18) New parameter BLANKMSG (in conjunction with new /FIXC switch) will
copy a small, blank message base (you create via RBBS's CONFIG.EXE)
if MSGTOSS detects a corrupt message base and FIXMSG was unable to
fix twice. Corrupt message base will be renamed to *.BAD
19) Revised documentation, added table of contents.
