- Imagine if you will, a user who persists in leaving the kind of
- messages that guarantee legal problems. Messages relating to
- software piracy. Obviously you can always lock him/her out of
- the board. Now take the problem one step further.... into the
- NIT zone.... Say you're a hub on an echo mail system... say
- this user hasn't managed to get thrown out of all the other
- systems on your echo mail network.... what do you do?
-
- You get NITKILL (or in my case, WRITE nitkill)
-
- NITKILL is designed for operation from your event or from the
- batch file that your echo mail transfers run from. Just put
- NITKILL after your mail transfer operation is finished and before
- board reentry occurs. NITKILL will scan all of the message bases
- that you tell it to and delete ALL messages that are to or from
- up to fifty selected users.
-
- NITKILL ignores all messages that aren't either to or from your
- selected problems. NITKILL will kill a message so dead that
- Sysop function #4 won't even bring it back. (I recommend that
- you create a 'safe' copy of your message file before running
- NITKILL - Ex: copy msgs msgs.saf) but NITKILL has been tested on
- my own board and functions properly.
-
-
- NITKILL operation:
- ------------------
- NITKILL requires two configuration files, both MUST be in the
- current directory when you call NITKILL.
-
-
- NITS is the name of the file containing your list of names.
- These may be in upper, lower, or mixed case.
-
- Firstname <space> Lastname
- Firstname <space> Lastname
-
- The names should be EXACTLY as they appear in the message header.
- NO TRAILING BLANKS and NO BLANK LINES!
-
- ===================================================================
- MSGBASES is the list of message bases that you need to launder.
- These MUST have the full drive:path\filename specified!
- case is irrelevant. There may be as many of these as are needed.
-
- d:\pcb\main\msgs
- d:\pcb\c\msgs
-
- etc.

- I hope none of you ever have to put up with this kind of stupidi-
- ty, but isn't it nice to know that you aren't alone, and that
- there are tools to help you?
-
- P.S. I thought seriously about leaving the name of my particular
- nemesis hardcoded into this program, but decided against it.
- That would be stooping to the level that this kid seems to be on.

- P.S. NITKILL has been tested for use with PCBoard 14.x, If you
- have a different version, DO NOT USE NITKILL as I have NO idea
- what will happen.
