There's a rumour going around over on FIDOTEST that you may have a
way of adding a TZUTC kludge on older BBS/Mailers?
Well yes and no.... I make the addition after the message is edited
and before its read back into the BBS. Probably only going to work
for software that uses MSGTMP or something very similar.
mv msgtmp msgtmp.new type kludge.txt > MSGTMP type msgtmp.new >>
MSGTMP exit
mv msgtmp msgtmp.new type kludge.txt > MSGTMP type msgtmp.new >>
MSGTMP exit
@TZUTC: 1000
@NOTE: IceEdit 2.35 a00000
mv msgtmp msgtmp.new
type kludge.txt > MSGTMP
type msgtmp.new >> MSGTMP
exit
TYPE C:\TELEGARD\TEMP%1\MSGTMP.NEW >> C:\TELEGARD\TEMP%1\MSGTMP DEL C:\TELEGARD\TEMP%1\MSGTMP.NEW
Now I just have to finangle a way of updating that KLUDGE.TXT file
Thanks so much, that's very clever and helpful. I never would have thought of adding it that way.
Strictly speaking you don't need the del, type or echo > filename
will remove the old contents. I did have it, I eventually removed it
for some reason I don't remember right now.
Kludge always gave me a bit of grief. I had to edit it for starters
in thedraw, it was the only thing that would add the ctl-a for me,
s'pose I could've hexedited it.
Not sure how else you'd do it, unless you want to start editing your message base. Its the only point there is access to the message
contents.
Can't argue with success eh :)
