- Problem: JAM purge doesn't update the last read information.
-
- Affected: JAM bases. Last-read pointers of your users on the BBS
- or local editor can point wrong.
-
- Solution: Do not purge JAM areas.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- This problem is not necessarily as serious as Ramon's description makes
- it sound. I regularly use WTRUTIL to purge my JAM bases here and only
- an occasional area or two is ever affected (out of hundreds). I suggest
- that you back up some areas, test them one at a time, and decide for
- yourself whether to use WTRUTIL to purge JAM bases, especially if you
- don't have another utility (e.g., RAMSG) to use. In my opinion, this is
- a minor problem, but of course you should consider Ramon's warning, test
- for yourslef, and if you must be absolutely safe use some other utility
- if avaiable.
