SOPMsg
SOPMsg will respond to messages from users to the Sysop. The response
will be a private message from a dummy CoSysop to the user. I wrote
SOPMsg so that I would have a means of notifying users that write to
while I am on vacation, that I am away.
Here is how it works.
1) You create a dummy user, a dummy CoSysop, a user name that SOPMsg
will use when answering mail. You can use QuickBBS's UserEdit
program to create this Dummy CoSysop. If you use the name "CoSysop"
for your SOPMsg CoSysop then you won't have to place the name of
your Dummy CoSysop in the SOPMsg command line. SOPMsg will default
to "CoSysop". If any other name is used, you will have to use the
/CoSysop command line option to pass the name you have created to
SOPMsg, see the command line structure below.
2) When you want SOPMsg to start answering messages a) Write the
message that you want SOPMsg to use when replying to users, name it
SOPMsg1.TXT (the number in the file name is the number of the board
SOPMsg will be working, a message area number 1 thru 99) and place
it the SOPMsg directory. Keep line width under 70 characters.
b) Run SetLast, command line
SetLast C:\QuickBBS 1 /AnswerFor John Jamieson /CoSysop Will Rogers

CoSysop. Any name in
your User.BBS file can

Sets the last read pointer for the Dummy CoSysop on the area
selected. SOPMsg will read messages from this point on.
c) Place SOPMsg in your RUNBBS.Bat file to run along
with other system maintenance programs. The command
line format is the same as for the program SetLast
described above.
