- [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
