-
- This program is intended to be run after SQFIX and various other
- utilities that reset the lastread pointers. It reads a pair of files
- (areaname.PFH and areaname.PFL) generated by PREFIX to determine what
- lastread pointers assignments to restore.
-
- It uses arrival datestamps to determine where to restore the lastread
- pointers. This will usually put the lastread pointers back on the exact
- messages where they were originally, but it may occasionally be off by a
- few messages.
-
- See the instruction to PREFIX before using POSTFIX.
-
- POSTFIX must be followed by the name of a message area. It will attempt
- to restore the lastread pointers for that area. When it is finished it
- will delete the .PF? files created by PREFIX.
-
-
- POSTFIX returns ERRORLEVEL 0 after a successful run. ERRORLEVEL 1 is
- returned to indicate an error.
