The CHECK command performs a complete check and repair operation on the BBS
message file, including subboards, mailboxes, and bulletins. Its purpose is
to verify the integrity of the message file and to repair a "crashed" file.
Such a file might result from
- Power failure during critical disk write operations
- Disk errors (damaged portions of the disk)
- Improper modification of the BBS files by other programs
- Hardware malfunctions, glitches, etc.
If you notice messages that do not save or display correctly, "garbage" in
messages, or any apparent malfunction of the message system, you should take
the following steps:
1. Run the CHECK command
CHECK will automatically repair any errors that it finds.
2. Return to the BBS and delete any messages that appear incorrect
If you consistently have errors or if you trace the cause of the errors to
an apparent bug in the BBS program, please contact Searchlight Software for
further assistance.
