ReplyLnk - Revision: 1.0 by Bob Hartman, FidoNet Node 1:132/101
[This program also contains a CRC routine which was obtained from
Renex Corporation. This is the best CRC routine for the 8088 series
of processors that I have ever seen, and I would like to take this
opportunity to thank Ray Gwinn of Renex for allowing me to use the
code in this program. - Bob Hartman]
**************************************************************************
* NOTE: This version of ReplyLnk uses very low level DOS calls. As a *
* result, it may not run on some systems. In particular, LAN, *
* multi-tasking, or caching software has been found to be troublesome *
* depending upon the particular configuration. Before using ReplyLnk on *
* an unattended basis, it is HIGHLY recommended that a complete system *
* backup be made and the results of the ReplyLnk commands checked very *
* closely. Since such low level code is being used, if ReplyLnk screws *
* up, it will probably take the entire disk with it. Bob Hartman *
* and Spark Software take no responsibility if this program does *
* anything nasty. You use it at your own risk. It has been tested *
* successfully on many systems, but that in no way means it will run on *
* your system. *
**************************************************************************
This program reads message headers within a directory, and links "reply
chains" based on the message subject. It is a replacement for the
ConfMail "Maint" section. It runs MUCH faster than the equivalent
ConfMail function.
Command line:
ReplyLnk dir [dir] [dir] ...
ReplyLnk -f areas.lst [+areas.bbs]
dir
Name of directory to link reply chains in. This can be a
directory name, SYSTEMxx.BBS file number, or echomail area
name.
areas.lst
List of echomail areas to process. This file can be created
by both ConfMail and Opus.
areas.bbs
AREAS.BBS file to read that correlates the areas.lst file
entries to directory names. If not present, AREAS.BBS is
used as the default.
Examples:
ReplyLnk C:\Binkley\Sysop C:\Opus\Comments
ReplyLnk -f Echo.out +AREAS1.BBS
