MCHANGE(1) FNORDADEL BBS SOFTWARE MCHANGE(1)
NAME
mchange.tos - change the number of available Fnordadel
mailslots.
SYNOPSIS
mchange <newsize>
DESCRIPTION
Mchange will increase or decrease the number of mail mes-
sages available to all users (including the Sysop). Give it
the desired new size on the command line, and mchange will
munge away, resizing things as required. When finished it
will remind you to change ctdlcnfg.sys accordingly and run
configur.tos. If you don't, your system will suffer a ter-
rifying end at the hands of the Ruggieman.
Mchange expects to be run from the directory containing your
ctdltabl.sys file.
OPTIONS
<newsize>
The desired new number of mailslots. There can be no
less than 1 and no more than 999.
NOTES
If the number of mailslots is being decreased, mchange will
gleefully expunge any user's N oldest messages, where N is
the number of slots being removed. Nothing else can be
done. As the Sysop, you should archive any messages you
can't bear to be parted with. It would be a nice gesture to
notify your users as well. Perhaps in Mail>...?
Please PLEASE **PLEASE** make a backup of your system before
running this program. It's not that we expect it to blow
up, it's just that Murphy is everywhere.
FILES
mchange.tos The mailslot muncher.
#roomdir\room0001.sys The Mail> room file.
ctdlcnfg.sys The configuration file.
ctdltabl.sys The system tables file.
