Version 1.12 5/12/94: Corrected an error in the version 1.11 zipfile.
For this reason, version 1.11 is not listed.
Fixed a minor bug in the routine that generates
the name of the overflow directory.
Fixed a bug in the bookmark-deletion code.
QWKPRUNE will now check the first line of each
message to determine if its a PCBoard 15 extended
subject. If it is, and the QWK subject field is
blank, or appears to have been truncated, it'll
be filled in from the extended header.
SAVEQWK will now detect if a 1stReader database
file is being read, and will exit if so. When
upgrading from a previous version of SAVEQWK, be
sure to replace both SAVEQWK.EXE and SAVEQWK.FIL.
Credit card registration is now available through
the Public (software) Library. See LICENSE.DOC
for details.
Version 1.10 3/2/94: Added support for large packets. QWKPRUNE can be
told where to create an overflow directory by
using the SPILL config file option or the TEMP
environment variable. If there's not enough
space in the work directory to recreate
MESSAGES.DAT, or not enough RAM to store all the
message headers, the overflow directory will be
used.
Added the ability to group prune file entries
together. If a line in a prune file begins with
& or |, QWKPRUNE assumes that that line is to be
grouped with the previous entry.
Added the KEEP_NETSTATUS config file option. If
this is set to NO or OFF, QWKPRUNE will not
preserve Net Status blocks at the end of
MESSAGES.DAT. The default is to keep Net Status
blocks.
Added the USE_MESSAGE_COUNTS config file option.
If this is set to YES or ON, message counts will
be added to CONTROL.DAT and MESSAGES.DAT if any
messages are pruned out. If it's set to NO or
OFF, and there was a message count in
CONTROL.DAT, that count will be set to zero.
The 'Z' prune file command has been revised. If
"text" is not one of the keywords SESSION, FILES,
HELLO, NEWS, or GOODBYE, it'll be treated as a
filename, and that file will be deleted.
However, the .NDX files, MESSAGES.DAT,
CONTROL.DAT, and DOOR.ID will not be deleted.
Unless "text" starts with BLT (for bulletins), it
may not contain wildcards. You may not specify a
drive or directory in "text".
If a message has an invalid date, it will be
stamped with the current system date.
If the To: field is blank, it will be changed to
read "ALL".
Lawrence Johnstone
All non-numeric characters should now be removed
from message numbers.
Chris Yocum
Version 1.03 8/29/93: Configurable subject line stripping has been
added. This is controlled by the STRIP config
file option. Up to ten prefixes may be specified,
and individual prefixes may be up to twelve
characters long. Case is not significant. Re :
prefixes are no longer stripped by default.
Walt Fletcher
Lawrence Johnstone
Added the P prune file switch. This switch
treats "text" as a user name. All messages to
"text" will be marked as personal. For example,
A,P:ALL will cause all messages to ALL to be
marked as personal.
It's now possible to prune messages with numbers
greater than or less than a given number. The
format for doing this is cn,N:>nnn (for greater
than) and cn,N:<nnn (for less than), where cn is
the conference number, and nnn is the message
number. nnn may be specified as HIGH - nnn and
LOW + nnn, where HIGH and LOW are the highest and
lowest message number in the specified
conference.
Mike Armstrong
Added the ability to delete bulletins, logon and
logoff screens, BBS news files, new files lists,
and SESSION.TXT. The format for this is Z,text.
To delete bulletins, enter "text" as though it
were a filename - Z,BLT*.*, for example. Other
values of "text" are HELLO, GOODBYE, NEWS, FILES,
and SESSION.
Mike Armstrong
It's now possible to tell QWKPRUNE to always
repack QWKs, even if they haven't been changed.
To do this, use /P on the command line, or set
the config option FORCE_REPACK to ON or YES.
Mike Armstrong
Added the config option MAX_QWK_AGE. Setting
this to a number tells QWKPRUNE not to process
QWKs more than that many days old if multiple
QWKs are being pruned.
QWKPRUNE will now remove trailing nulls from
string fields in the message header.
Lawrence Johnstone
Headers in which the To: and From: fields are
terminated with linefeed characters will be
fixed.
Jim Smith
QWKPRUNE should now preserve Net Status blocks at
the end of MESSAGES.DAT.
Allen Prunty
Changed the routine that rebuilds the packets so
that .NDX files are first written to temporary
files.
PERSONAL.NDX is now rebuilt in a separate step,
rather than being rebuilt when MESSAGES.DAT is
rewritten.
The default extension for QWK files has been
changed to Q* from QW*.
Added PARMSCAN.EXE and PARMSCAN.DOC to the
distribution archive. PARMSCAN allows you to
examine a set of batch file parameters to see if
