- NAME
-
- MsgSplit.thor - Split a message event in smaller events
-
-
- SYNOPSIS
-
- MsgSplit.thor <MaxSize>
-
-
- REQUIREMENTS
-
- Thor 2.01 or newer & of course ARexx.
-
-
- DESCRIPTION
-
- MsgSplit.thor scans the events of a system & if it's a reply or
- enter event it checks message size of the event. If it's bigger
- than the MaxSize argument, it splits the message in smaller pieces
- & creates a new event for each piece & then deletes the original
- event.
-
- This is necessery for some QWK systems because they do not accept
- messages bigger than an allowed size. Ask your Sysop/System
- Administrator to get this number. You can find it by sending very
- large messages (12-24 Kb is a nice value) which when then they are
- not being accepted you will then reduce the size of the message
- until you find the correct size.
-
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- First copy it to the rexx directory of Thor and then insert it to the
- "Leaving System" gadget of the File/Paths options for every system
- that has problems with large message sizes. The MaxSize for
- Hellas On Line BBS is 7300 bytes (approx.)
-
- For example: MsgSplit.thor 7300
-
-
- You can change the ContNextMsg and ContPrevMsg variables but be careful
- with their lengths. Check them before you use it permanetly.
