- msgFind [1.0] written on 24 Jan 90 by W. Berghofer @ 2:310/11.100
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- usage: msgfind d:\subdir\filename.ext firstname_lastname > device
-
- This utility may be used to scan an entire echomail message base
- for messages addressed to a specific person. Its output can be
- redirected to any disk file or device. The message format used by
- this program is the *.MSG-format used currently in Fido- or Opus-
- style FidoNet node or point environments.
-
- The first command line parameter is interpreted as full qualified
- filename of an Areas.Bbs-like plain ASCII file as used in Conf-
- Mail- or Qmail-installations. The second command line parameter
- is the name of the person to scan the messages areas for. An
- underscore character ("_", hex 5F) must be used to separate the
- first and the last name.
-
- The output contains the name of the echomail area, the message
- numbers of already received and probably new messages.
-
- Execution speed on a 6 Mhz IBM XT model 286, 512 kb disk cache in
- expanded memory: 33 seconds for 614 messages, equaling an average
- of 18.6 message checks per second.
-
- Program limits: 255 echomail areas, 500 messages per area.
-
- Please send bug reports, suggestions for improvement or other
- wishes concerning the program to Werner Berghofer, 2:310/11.100,
- +43-222-8047404, HST speed. Feel free to distribute and use the
- program in any way you wish as long as you don't sell it.
