    Hello Mike,

    try to locate an old copy of SQFILTER, by Raphaël Vanney. His SQTOOL
    was a rewrite of SQFILTER, after he lost the source to SQFILTER in a
    disk crash. SQTOOL got new features, but unfortunately didn't retain
    =all= of the old ones from SQFILTER.

    Do you know if Raphaël Vanney is still around somewhere and if I could get in contact with him? I tried to get in contact with him about his SqTool, but unfortunately I didn't get any reply and my email messages bounced back.

    Nope, sorry... He disappeared from Fido some years ago and I haven't encountered him again since, personally.

    I also thought I killed this message before it was scanned out...oops. After checking my BAT/CMD files, it was NetMgr that had the export to file functions,
    not SQTOOL/SQFILTER. I do use SQTOOL to kill spam in gated newsgroups and it has an action that can call an external program based on message content...but it doesn't pass the message content to that external proggy.

    I would want to replace Sqtool with a program I want to write, but for which I haven't had time. The obstacle is that I don't have any knowdledge yet about Fidonet messagefiles, so when I start with this I need lots of time to investigate this matter. Only after that I understand the matter and with that knowdledge I can write (better) software in VP/2, starting with the MKMSG port by Pab Sungenis.

    He deleted his source? That's really pitty. I really wanted to improve his SqTool program.

    Regrettably, the last time I e-mailed him a few years back he said that he was not dealing with the Fido stuff any longer. In fact I believe he told me that he had dumped it completely. Source included. BIG FROWN.
