- VP (AKA VPurge) Modified ConfMail, v4.09e
-
- Refer to the excellent ConfMail 4.00 manual for basic usage information.
-
- Rename this module to CM.EXE and put it in your \BINK subdirectory over
- the previous CM.EXE module. It differs from the original in twelve ways.
-
- 1. All known null pointer problems are corrected.
- 2. The problems with Mei and some (Dutchie?) messages causing hangs
- or traps are corrected (date formatting).
- 3. Grunged packet and message header hangs and traps are corrected.
- 4. If the line in AREAS.BBS has a # before the first Node address,
- including as the first character of the line, the area is treated as
- a true passthru area: upon full and successful Export of all messages
- in that area, they are all deleted and a fresh 1.MSG is created. This
- makes it compatible with QMail AREAS.BBS files.
- 5. The longstanding problem with parsing the commandline for Import or Export
- without a -A has been fixed.
- 6. Commandline switches may now begin with either a "-" or a "/".
- 7. It can be called without any parameters without serious damage.
- 8. It now avoids self-destruction when processing messages with really
- screwed up message header fields.
- 9. The area name must be the same length in the area.bbs and the -f area list
- in order to match. Previous versions would match if the areas.bbs (FOO)
- was in the -f echoout file (FOO_BAR).
- 10.The SEADOG mode archives were not always reopenned to give the appearance
- of a 0-length Zap.
- 11.SEEN-BY processing during Export problems fixed, null strings and sorting.
- 12.Thanks to Andreas Kaiser, VPurge will now correctly toss naked packets from
- multiple areas during one invocation: current subdirectory, netmail area,
- and netfiles (usual) area.
- 13.Short and null packets no longer cause erratic processing during IMPORT.
-
- This module has now replaced CM.EXE in all the archives at 1:109/301; those
- with copies of those archives are encouraged to do the same.
-
- The OS/2 version of this program is available in VP2_409E.LZH from 1:109/301.
-
- Source for both the VP and VP2 4.09E versions is online and available from
- 1:109/301 as VP2_409E.SZH, around 95K in size.
