- MCHANGE(1) FNORDADEL BBS SOFTWARE MCHANGE(1)
-
- NAME
- mchange.tos - change the number of available Fnordadel
- mailslots.
-
- SYNOPSIS
- mchange <newsize>
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Mchange will increase or decrease the number of mail mes-
- sages available to all users (including the Sysop). Give it
- the desired new size on the command line, and mchange will
- munge away, resizing things as required. When finished it
- will remind you to change ctdlcnfg.sys accordingly and run
- configur.tos. If you don't, your system will suffer a ter-
- rifying end at the hands of the Ruggieman.
-
- Mchange expects to be run from the directory containing your
- ctdltabl.sys file.
-
- OPTIONS
- <newsize>
- The desired new number of mailslots. There can be no
- less than 1 and no more than 999.
-
- NOTES
- If the number of mailslots is being decreased, mchange will
- gleefully expunge any user's N oldest messages, where N is
- the number of slots being removed. Nothing else can be
- done. As the Sysop, you should archive any messages you
- can't bear to be parted with. It would be a nice gesture to
- notify your users as well. Perhaps in Mail>...?
-
- Please PLEASE **PLEASE** make a backup of your system before
- running this program. It's not that we expect it to blow
- up, it's just that Murphy is everywhere.
-
