■ MSGUTIL ■
A little introduction to Msgutil:
this utility is greatly based on the utilities included in package
MKSM106.* by Mark May. I have added some improvements, such as:
* msg areas are specified by tag, instead of AreaId;
! fixed bugs, and adapted the source to OS2 target;
What does msgutil do?
* post text files as msg;
* convert areas whose path/msgbase has changed;
* maintain an area with personal msg;
* forward areafix requests to uplink;
* toss msg from badmsg area;
a brief summary of switches can be obtained running MSGUTIL with no
parameter, i think it's enough.
remember to edit MsgUtil.Cfg (however, all parameters specified there can
be changed in command line, that's just a way to define default parameters);
msg areas in Msgutil.Cfg are specified by AreaId; first letter of AreaId
indicates the type of message base (F=Fido, S=squish, H=Hudson, J=Jam) and
following letters the path (for hudson base, the msg board);
some command line examples:
; convert areas whose msgpath or msgbase has changed
MSGUTIL -C
;
; note: if you want to change a path and/or msgbase of an echomail area,
; it will be enough to edit Areas.Bbs, make the changes, and then
; run "Msgutil -C" (the new areas.bbs will be confronted with oldareas.bbs
; mantained by msgutil)
;
; post text file TEST.TXT in area NEWS.ITA
MSGUTIL TEST.TXT /ANews.Ita
; post text file TEST.TXT in netmail
MSGUTIL TEST.TXT
;
; note: default parameters will be taken from msgutil.cfg but can be
; redefined in command line; kludges, tear-line and origin line are
; automatically added when needed.
;
; Build area with personal msg (addressed to sysop or written by sysop)
MSGUTIL -M
;
; msgs are copied only after they have been exported;
; dupes are detected by msgid kludge, if you want to get all
; messages del msgdupes.dat in msgutil directory (this is the
; file where info about dupes are mantained);
; msgutil checks the name "sysop" too, as well as your name in
; both forms (the name first and the surname first)
;
; Import msg froma badmsg area
MSGUTIL -B
; Forward areafix requests to uplink
MSGUTIL -U
