- An Almost Useful Utility from WalkBro & Kelleher
- (c) 1988 - WalkBro & Kelleher
-
-
- Any flames to DEV NUL, and good ideas to Don Walker 120/20 or
- Butch Walker 161/1. Any bug reports to Mike Kelleher 161/521 <grin>.
-
-
- Another Almost Useful Utility from WalkBro & Kelleher. This sucker is
- quick and dirty. It will print a listing of your users that are reading
- message areas, or your users that are not reading message areas, or a listing
- of all users and the areas they are reading. It will also print a list of
- your message areas, by number, name, and the number of users that have read
- them.
-
- In order to list the message areas and the number of times read you need
- an ascii file. That file should look like this:
-
-
- |--------- Area Number - starts in column 1
- |-------Area Name - Starts in column 4 ( Not longer than 20 chars)
-
- 1 General
- 2 Tech
-
- You can list as many as 200 areas.
-
- Message uses DOS redirection, standard output device is the screen [con].
- You can redirect it to a file or the printer. Message can be run in a batch
- file as part of a daily or weekly maintenance event.
-
-

-

-
- * R - List message readers N - List Non Readers
- * A - Just the area Use

- I have included the source code so someone can do a much better job that I
- have at this. I just wanted to bang something out that give me echomail use on
- my board.
