- ──────────────────────────[ Documentation ]────────────────────────
-
- The documentation for these utilities is somewhat limited. These
- programs were originally intended as examples of how to use the
- MK Message Source routines (TP OOP source to access various message
- base formats).
-
- I decided to release them in executable form as well, though since it
- seemed that they would be useful to others as well.
-
-
-

-
- ──────────────────────────[ Utilities Included ]────────────────────────
-
-
- MsgExprt - Exports a message area to a text file
-
- Example: MsgExprt Out.Txt H007C:\RA\Msg
-
- This utility will export messages from the various message base
- formats into a text file. It requires two command line paramaters. The
- first is the name of the text file to use for output. The second is the
- message area identifier of the message base to be exported. Message
- Area Identifiers are described in a section below.
-
-
- -----------------------
-
- MsgImprt - Imports a text file into a message base.
-
- Example: MsgImprt MK.Log /TMark_May /P /E /ASC:\Msg\Logs /SBBS_Log
-
- An application like this could be used to import log files or other
- information into your message base. To use it you give it
- a command line paramater of the text file to use and various options,
- the options must be preceeded by either a '/' or a '-'. You can also
- embed options in the text file by starting a line with a percent % sign
- followed by the option. The following options are supported:
-
- /FFrom_Name /TTo_Name /SSubject_Of_Message
- /AMsgAreaId /DDestAddress /OOrigAddress
- /P (private) /E (Erase file afterward)
-
-
- -----------------------
-
- MKMsgCvt - Converts (copies) messages from one msg base to another
-
- Example: MKMsgCvt H007C:\RA\Msg SC:\Msg\General
-
- This application allows you to quickly convert a message base from
- one format to another. It displays a "banner" screen as it converts,
- to show its progress. An application like this could be useful when
- converting to a new message base format.
-
-
-
-
- ──────────────────────────[ Message Area Id's ]────────────────────────
-
- To identify message areas, I use something I call a MsgAreaId. It
- identifies both the type of message base and the path/area that it
- is in. With a MsgAreaId, a program can open the message base without
- needing to look up anything in the BBS config files. I encourage others
- to adopt them as well, so that people who use your program can get
- used to a common way of specifying the message areas.
-
- Message area identifiers have the following formats:
-
- Squish: S followed by the path\filename of the message area
- Example: SC:\Max\Msg\Muffin
-
- Hudson H followed by a 3 digit area number follow by the msg base path
- Example: H007C:\Quick\MsgBase\
-
- Fido(*.Msg) F followed by the message path
- Example: FD:\FD\Mail\
-
- JAM J followed by the path\filename of the message area
- Example: JC:\RA2\MSG\RA_UTIL
-
- Ezycom E followed by the 4 digit area number followed by the msg base path
- Example: E0001F:\EZY\MSG
-
