- ───────────────────────[ WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMER ]─────────────────────
-
- The only thing the author can guarantee is that MKMsgSrc will take up
- space on your hard drive. Beyond that, you use the program at your own
- risk. MKMsgSrc has been tested in many different environments with no
- damage, loss of data, or compromised security, and we cannot guarantee
- how it will work in your environment. The author will not be held
- responsible for any damage to your system.

-
- ───────────────────────────────[ USAGE ]──────────────────────────────
-
- The included programs make up a library of routines to allow you
- to easily access various message base types in a very generic manner.
- (I am hopeful that others will extend this to include even more
- message base types). To accomplish this a generic AbsMsgObj was created
- and the Hudson, Squish, and *.Msg objects were descended from it.
-
- In the MKMsgAbs.Pas file there are comments which explain what the various
- methods were intended to accomplish.
-
- A sample application has been included to show how these routines can
- be used. MsgExprt will export messages from the various message base
- formats into a text file. It requires two command line paramaters. The
- first is the name of the text file to use for output. The second is the
- message area identifier of the message base to be exported. Message area
- identifiers have the following formats:
-
- Squish: S followed by the path\filename of the message area
- Example: SC:\Max\Msg\Muffin
-
- Hudson H followed by a 3 digit area number follow by the msg base path
- Example: H007C:\MK\MsgBase\
-
- Fido(*.Msg) F followed by the message path
- Example: FD:\FD\Mail\
-
- You may want to include the MsgAreaId concept in your program, to make it
- easier on the people using it who may be using other programs based on the
- concept.
-
- To write new messages to the message bases, you need to be sure to call
- StartNewMsg prior to setting any of the message fields or adding any
- text. Text may be added to the message via DoChar, DoString, and
- DoStringLn calls. When the message is finished call WriteMsg to save
- the message to the message base (nothing is updated until this is done).

- ────────────────────────────[ REGISTRATION ]───────────────────────────
-
- A registration fee is not required for these programs. I
- believe that the Bbs world is becoming too commercialized and
- distribute my programs as FREEWARE to fight against that trend.
- If you are a shareware author, consider sending me a registered
- version of your program in exchange for your use of this program.
-
- I would appreciate it if you would either fill in the form
- below and return it to me, or to drop me a postcard. This will
- help in measuring the usefulness of MK Msg Src and help in
- determining how time is allocated between this and other projects.
