-
- Sysop,
- MU-EDIT is a prototype of a program which I'm developing. The reason for
- releasing it in this form, is to invite opinions, and suggestions. Also, in
- it's current form it has lot of features that SysOp's can make use of. I
- and at least 3 other SysOp's use this program for various reason. As
- delivered, it is believed to be as reliable as a production version would
- be.
-
- Please keep in mind that this program has lots of rought edges !!!. It was
- intended that several features function the same as in RBBS. This is true in
- most cases. There are places where this editor doesn't function as RBBS does.
-

-
-
- Program Load
- ------------
- From the commandline specify ...
- MU-EDIT [msg filespec] [/first name to scan for] [/second name to scan for]
-
- ex.
- MU-EDIT mainm.def /sysop/kim wells
-
- The names SYSOP and Kim Wells will be flagged if the program detects msgs
- have been written or are waiting for those names. The name in the first
- switch will be the name used in the NAME FROM when repling to msgs.
-

- do multiple times.
