Message Area Scanner 1.50
Format: SCAN [ALL|<Sig>] [NEW] [FORCE] [CONT] [INTER]
Purpose: To scan message areas in one of, or all of, the SIGs configured.
Operation:
A message area scan will performed listing each area in the given SIG. For
each area you will see the number of the first and last message, amount of
messages, and the amount of new messages. Giving "ALL" as the SIG number,
will cause all of the SIGs (that you are allowed to access) to be scanned
one at a time, after which you will get a summary.
Options:
NEW Only shows areas with new messages for you.
FORCE Shows all areas, whether you have joined to them or not. Normally
only areas that you have joined to, as scanned, but this operation
can be overriden using this option.
CONT New in v1.50. To be used with option ALL. Shows the areas of
all SIGs continuously in one list, instead of listing them one
at a time. A summary will not be presented.
INTER Instigates the interactive mode. Instead of starting the scan
immediately, you will be presented a list of SIGs you are allowed
to access, and you can select one, or all of them to be scanned.
After scanning, you will be taken back to this selection, and
you can scan again.
Note: Scanning all SIGs ("Scan ALL") is also interactive. You will be
prompted for a key press after each SIG.
Note: The NEW and FORCE options also work in the interactive mode.
Examples:
Scan 3
Scans areas you have joined in SIG 3. Shows also new messages.
Scan NEW CONT
Scans for new messages in all SIGs. Only shows areas in which there
are new messages. Shows the areas in one list.
Scan 7 NEW FORCE
Scans for new messages in all areas of SIG 7. Shows also the areas you have
not joined to.
