  • Mpost or a replacement??

    From Nick Andre@1:229/426 to All on Tuesday, May 01, 2018 18:37:39
    Every week, a batch file runs here that posts the contents and logs of the MakeNL segment operations for Region 12 in an echo.

    The problem is that the utility that does this, Mpost, does not appear to
    read lines of text beyond 76 characters. Obviously nodelist segments contain text-lines longer than that.

    I need to know either what is the latest version of Mpost/NT... or, a
    suitable replacement that can do this correctly.

    (I currently do not have time this week to write my own)

    For *.MSG? If so, I have a good one I've used for years that's part of the SQAFIX package by Pete Kvitek.

    Yes. Can you send a link? Or queue it up for when my system polls yours?

    The program (I can't remember the name of it) is in this archive. It works with *.MSG and Squish IIRC.

    I am still traveling for work and am too lazy to dig through my archives. :D
