System Hardware and Software Requirements
-----------------------------------------

* An IBM PC, XT, AT or 100% compatible.
* The amount of RAM that should be available very much depends on
which command you are using and how big your message base is, but
around 300 KB should be enough in most cases. If you run it under
DoubleDOS/DesqView, just try. If there's not enough memory
available, MBUTIL will certainly let you know!
* Microsoft MS-DOS 3.00 / IBM PC-DOS 3.00 or above. MBUTIL was
successfully tested under MS-DOS 4.01.
* At least "FILES=15" (or more) in your CONFIG.SYS.
* A RemoteAccess ó 0.0x or QuickBBS 2.xx compatible message base.



Setup
-----

Before you use MBUTIL you should enter your information in the
control file MBUTIL.CTL using an ASCII text editor. Explanation of the
keywords is given there.



Environment Variable
--------------------

Usage:

SET MBU= []

To be able to run MBUTIL from any directory, you can use the MBU
environment variable. If MBUTIL can't find MBUTIL.CTL in the current
path, it will try the open the filename set with MBU. This can also be
useful for people having more than one message base, who can use SET
to select from their batch file which control file should be used.

is optional and is the default text color, which is also
used if the control file was found in the current path. It is
calculated as follows:

+ (16 * )

Colors:

0 Black 4 Red
1 Blue 5 Magenta
2 Green 6 Yellow
3 Cyan 7 White

Add 8 for highlighted foreground colors. is 7 by default
(White text on a Black background).

Example:

SET MBU=C:\RA\MBUTIL.CTL 3


2



Specifying Boards
-----------------

If you must specify a , you can use the area tag (if you
have specified an AreasFile in the control file), or #.

A special fixed area name is "NETMAIL", which will always refer
to your NetmailBoard, if defined.



Help Screens
------------

If you run 'MBUTIL', you will see the following help screen:

Sort
----

Usage:

MBUTIL Sort [-All] [-Backup] [-Pack]

The Sort command can be used to sort all unread messages by
board number and post date and time. This has two advantages:

+ When using combined read mode to read new messages for example,
you won't see messages from different boards mixed up.
+ It reduces the chance that you read a reply to a message before
you actually read the message that was replied to, which
happened pretty often to me and which was actually the reason
why I started writing MBUTIL in the first place! But from one
thing came another...

Reading replies before the original messages is in most cases
caused by echo mail processors that don't sort incoming mail
packets, but I think that DOESN'T HAVE TO BE the case, since a reply
can simply have a shorter or faster PATH than the message that was
replied to.

MBUTIL checks if there is enough disk space available. After
that it scans LASTREAD.BBS to find the highest message that was read
by all users. MBUTIL assumes there are actually messages to sort and
starts rewriting MSGHDR.BBS and MSGTOIDX.BBS while scanning
MSGHDR.BBS to find out where to start sorting. I could have used
MSGIDX.BBS for this, but the current way is more reliable and works
faster if there actually are messages to sort, which will most
likely be the case if you run Sort only each time new messages were
tossed in to the message base.

MBUTIL will remove all reply chains while sorting, so you
should run 'MBUTIL Link' each time you used Sort. The next version
might Link while Sorting. This version can sort up to about 9360
messages.

You can use '-All' to sort the entire message base, but THIS
IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR BBS SYSTEMS, as IT DOES NOT UPDATE THE
LASTREAD.BBS POINTERS (I suggest you delete LASTREAD.BBS if you use
this switch). It was only added because some POINTS in the beta-team
requested it.

Switches:

-All Sort entire message base (ignores LASTREAD pointers)
-Backup Keep the original MSGHDR.BBS as backup (.BAK)
-Pack Remove header records of deleted messages




The rest of MBUTIL is actually a clone of TosScan(q) Message
Utility (TSUTIL) 1.00, with some additions and improvements here and
there. TSUTIL was written by Mats Wallin and Joaquim Homrighausen. I
hope they won't be angry with me! 😉

Purge
-----

Usage:

MBUTIL Purge [-File ] [] [-Convert ]

The Purge command can be used to delete messages based on
specified per board, like age, received status or maximum
number of messages. can be a command line or a text
with lines in the following format:

[] [-All] [-Days ] [-Rcvd] [-Msgs ]

can also be "RemoteAccess" or "TosScan", which will
use their files, if found in the current path.

If you add '-Convert ', you can convert TosScan or RA
information to a text file. If you use '-Msgs -Days
-Rcvd -Convert ', your AreasFile will be converted to
purge file format. You may put comments after a ; in a text .

If you use '-File -Days -Msgs ',
and will apply to all boards for which the number of
Days/Msgs was not defined (zero) in .

If you use '-File -Days -Msgs ',
and will override the settings in .

If you use '[-File ] [] -Rcvd', received messages
will be deleted in or all boards.

If you use '-File RemoteAccess [...]', it will delete received
messages in all boards where the "Days After Received Messages are
Killed" value in RACONFIG is non-zero.

If you want to, you can still retrieve deleted messages with
'MBUTIL Undelete', described later.

Switches:

-All Delete all messages (won't be used as default)
-Days Delete messages older than
-Rcvd Delete all received messages
-Msgs Delete all except the last messages
-Convert Convert AreasFile, MESSAGES.RA or AREAFILE.FD

Examples:

; Delete messages older than 2 weeks and received messages on board
10.
MBUTIL Purge #10 -Days 14 -Rcvd

; Delete messages in SYSOPS.028 according to information in MBUTIL.PUR
MBUTIL Purge -File MBUTIL.PUR SYSOPS.028

Pack
----

Usage:

MBUTIL Pack [-Backup] [-Force] [-Overwrite] [-Renumber]
[-Delete] [-Recover]

The Pack command can be used to pack the message base files by
removing deleted messages.

Pack will by default rewrite the message base file and delete
the old files if the message base was packed successfully. If you
use '-Backup', it will keep MSGHDR.BAK and MSGTXT.BAK. Note that I
don't keep a backup of the index files. If you should ever need to
use your backup message base, just run 'MBUTIL Index' to create new
index files. By using '-Overwrite' you can choose to overwrite the
existing files if there's not enough disk space to create new files.
I personally always use and recommend using '-Force' to overwrite
the existing message base files, which has the following advantages
and disadvantages:

+ It requires no free disk space at all, which is actually the
reason why I always HAVE to use overwrite mode. 🙂

+ It is much faster (especially since MBUTIL won't rewrite text
blocks that don't need to be moved)

+ It causes less disk fragmentation, and thus prevents message
base access from slowing down.

- It is a little bit more dangerous, because if MBUTIL is
interrupted while overwriting, it will probably damage your
message base beyond repair. 'MBUTIL Index -Delete -Renumber' is
the best you can do when this should happen. MBUTIL will
temporary ignore the Ctrl-Break and Ctrl-C keys when it is in
overwrite-mode so you can't accidentally interrupt it.

When MBUTIL has renumbered the messages, it will update the
LASTREAD pointers in LASTREAD.BBS. If USERS.BBS exists it will also
update the 'highest read' pointers in the user records and reformat
LASTREAD.BBS if necessary. I recommend using '-Renumber' regularly.
MBUTIL will automagically renumber if the highest message number is
higher than what you defined using the 'AutoRenumber' keyword in the
control file.

See 'MBUTIL Index' on the next page for details on using '-Delete'
and '-Recover'.

Switches:

-Backup Keep the original MSGHDR.BBS and MSGTXT.BBS as .BAK
-Force Force overwriting of the existing message base files
-Overwrite Overwrite existing files only if short of disk space
-Renumber Renumber messages and update LASTREAD pointers
-Delete Delete messages crosslinked in MSGTXT.BBS
-Recover Move messages in invalid boards to the RecoveryBoard


6



Index
-----

Usage:

MBUTIL Index [-Delete] [-Recover] [-Renumber]

The Index command can be used to create the following index files:

MSGIDX.BBS This file contains the message and board numbers
of each parallel records in MSGHDR.BBS. It is used
to quickly find a message by message number or to
find the previous/next message on a specific board
or in the entire message base.

MSGTOIDX.BBS This file contains the name of the addressees of
the messages in the parallel record in MSGHDR.BBS.
It contains "* Received *" if a message is already
received and "* Deleted *" if a message is already
deleted. It is used to quickly check the entire
message base for personal mail.

MSGINFO.BBS This file contains the total number of messages in
the entire message base, the highest and lowest
message numbers used and the number of messages
per board. It is used to give the BBS program,
message editor or echo mail processor this
information without having to scan MSGHDR.BBS.

Note that these index files are also created by the Pack,
Purge and Undelete commands. If Sort sorted message it will also
create new index files.

You can optionally delete crosslinked messages (two or more
messages claiming partially or entirely the same block in
MSGTXT.BBS) or messages pointing to a non-existing block (outside
MSGTXT.BBS). You can also choose to move messages in invalid boards
(0 or > 200) to the RecoveryBoard. If you haven't defined one, these
messages will be deleted if you use the -Delete or -Recover
switches. Please note that -Delete and -Recover don't update the
reply chains.

If the message numbers really get out of order and/or Pack is
unable to renumber the messages (for instance if there are negative
message numbers or you don't have enough memory available) you can
use the -Renumber switch to fix this. Please note that this will
*NOT* update the LASTREAD pointers. Only use this switch in extreme
emergencies. If you don't have very much memory you should run
'MBUTIL Pack -Renumber' regularly or choose a low AutoRenumber value
to prevent needing this.

Switches:

-Delete Delete messages crosslinked in MSGTXT.BBS
-Recover Move messages in invalid boards to the RecoveryBoard
-Renumber Renumber all message numbers in MSGHDR.BBS



7



Link
----

Usage:

MBUTIL Link [-Clean] [-Remove]

The Link command can be used to link messages with the same
subject in a reply chain that can be walked through with the message
editor or the BBS program.

MBUTIL will always create new reply chains for all boards
rather than updating any existing reply chains. Deleted messages
will not be linked. MBUTIL links messages using a CRC-32 on the
message subjects, ignoring case and "Re:" or "(R)" junk. Future
versions of MBUTIL will use the MSGID and REPLY kludges and/or sort
the reply chains by post date.

With the -Remove switch MBUTIL will only remove all existing
reply chains.

With the -Clean switch MBUTIL will remove "Re:" and "(R)" junk
from the subject texts.

I recommend running 'Link -Clean' each time messages were
tossed into the message base.

Switches:

-Clean Remove "Re:" and "(R)" from subjects
-Remove Remove all existing reply chains



Move
----

Usage:

MBUTIL Move

The Move command can be used to move all messages in one board
to another board. The messages are not physically moved, only their
board number is changed. They keep the same message numbers and
reply chains. Deleted messages will not be moved.














8



Export
------

Usage:

MBUTIL Export [-Crash] [-Direct] [-Keep] [-ReTear] [-Report]


or:

MBUTIL Export [-Delete]

The Export command is the opposite of the Import command and
can be used to export messages from RemoteAccess message boards to
FidoNet .MSG standard messages. It will by default export netmail
messages from all boards to the NetmailPath if defined.

If netmail was entered using RemoteAccess, those programs will
increment the Pending field in the user record. When MBUTIL has
exported such messages, it will decrement both Pending and Credit
fields in the user record (if found).

Netmail will NOT be exported if it is destined to your main
address or one of your Aka's.

When export is used to export netmail, it will also turn off
invalid 'Outgoing EchoMail' bits of messages that don't have the
Local bit set, which fixes the problem that Qecho exports messages
that you replied to with FrontDoor 1.99c. MBUTIL will also create a
file TRAFFIC.MBU, that contains the number of outbound messages from
each board. Use '-Report' to produce the report TRAFFIC.RPT.

When you use the -ReTear switch, MBUTIL will search outgoing
echomail messages for up to five specified tearlines and replace
them with the matching ones, comparable to ReTear by Cary Howell.

If you specify , you can use MBUTIL to Export
all messages in an RemoteAccess board to .MSG format. Don't use this
to export netmail!

Switches:

-All Send all messages to another zone direct, not via the
zonegate (myzone:myzone/destzone)
-Crash Send only crash messages to another zone direct
-Keep Keep the message in the NetmailPath after they have been
sent. Normally to are killed after they have been sent.
-Delete Delete messages in the RemoteAccess board after they
have been exported. This is always done for netmail
with the Kill/Sent bit set, even if you use -Keep.
-ReTear Replace the tearlines of Outgoing Echomail messages









9



Import
------

Usage:

MBUTIL Import [-Users]

or:

MBUTIL Import [-Delete]

The Import command is the opposite of the Export command and
can be used to import messages from FidoNet standard .MSG message
files to RemoteAccess message boards.

It will by default import messages from the NetmailPath to the
NetmailBoard if defined. It only imports netmail messages that are
destined to your main address or one of your Aka's and if the name
of the addressee is one of the users listed in the control file or
found in the user file. If a message is for one of the users listed
in the control file, MBUTIL will still search the user file (if any)
for the username, and replace it exactly as it was written there. If
you use the -User switch, MBUTIL will NOT import messages addressed
to users listed in the control file.

If you specify , you can use MBUTIL to Import an
entire directory of .MSG format echomail messages, for example to
import messages from you Dupe path to a RemoteAccess board. Don't
use this to import netmail!

Switches:

-Delete Delete the .MSG files after they have been imported in
they have been imported in the RemoteAccess.
This is always done for netmail.
-Users Don't import messages to any of the users defined in the
control file

Examples:

; Import netmail
MBUTIL Import

; Import all .MSG files in C:\FD\BADECHO to the area "NEWECHO" and
; then delete the .MSG files
MBUTIL Import C:\FD\BADECHO NEWECHO -Delete













10



Post
----

Usage:

MBUTIL Post [-From ] [-To ]
[-Subject ]

The Post command is similar to the Import command and can be
used to create a message with the contents of a specified file in a
specified board. The messages will have the 'Outgoing Echomail' bit
set, so they will be exported if you post them in an echomail board.
Post can't post files larger than 32 KB. If , or
contains spaces, enclose it in double quotes.

Defaults:

-From First UserName defined in control file
-To All
-Subject

Example:

MBUTIL Post C:\MBU_REL.TXT 37 -From "Gerard van.der.Land"
-To "Everyone" -Subject "Message Base Utility 1.10 release"

One special option not listed on the help screen is the -Test
switch. If you use it, the Post command will have the following
format:

MBUTIL Post -Test [...]

MBUTIL will post test messages in the specified
. Those message will NOT be exported. I used this switch for
testing purposes and decided to keep in the release version.



Undelete
--------

Usage:

MBUTIL Undelete []

The Undelete command can be used to undelete all deleted
messages in all boards or .

When messages are deleted, they are marked as deleted and not
physically deleted or overwritten, which means that you can Undelete
all deleted messages, as long as the message base file haven't been
packed yet.







11



AreasFile Example
-----------------

This is an example for an AreasFile. This file, usually called
AREAS.BBS, is used by some echomail processors, like Qecho and ZMail.

/--------------------------------------------------------------------\
Default origin line ! Sysop name
1 RA_SUPPORT [net/nodes...]
2 RA_SUP.028 [net/nodes...]
3 LOCAL
\--------------------------------------------------------------------/

In this example "RA_SUPPORT" would be the same as "#1". As you
can see, you can add local areas to make it easier to specify those
boards.



Purge File Example
------------------

This is an example for a Purge File.

/--------------------------------------------------------------------\
; MBUTIL 1.10 Purge File
;
; Example
;
; 0 Days or 0 Msgs = unlimited
;
;Board # of Days # of Msgs Rcvd Comment (optional)
;----- --------- ----------- ----- --------------------------------
-Days 21 -Msgs 100 ; Default values
#001 -Days 14 -Msgs 200 ; Int. RemoteAccess Support Area
#002 -Days 21 -Msgs 50 ; Nat. RemoteAccess Support Area
#003 -Days 28 -Msgs 150 -Rcvd ; Local sysop board
;
; It can also be like this:
;
RA_SUPPORT -Days 15 -Msgs 300 ; RemoteAccess Support Area
NETMAIL -Days 14 -Msgs 200 -Rcvd ; This is the NetmailBoard
LOCAL -Days 10 -Msgs 75 -Rcvd ; Local board
\--------------------------------------------------------------------/

You can also create a Purge File with the -Convert switch:

To convert MESSAGES.RA to a text file:
MBUTIL Purge -File RemoteAccess [...] -Convert PURGE.RA

To convert AREAFILE>FD to a text file:
MBUTIL Purge -File TosScan [...] -Convert PURGE.TS

To convert your AreasFile to a text file:
MBUTIL Purge [...] -Convert PURGE.MBU

You can also specify default values:
MBUTIL Purge -Days 14 -Msgs 50 -Rcvd -Convert PURGE.MBU

12



Batch File Example
------------------

/--------------------------------------------------------------------\
:Clean
rem Do your daily/nightly maintenance here.

rem The Purge command depends on what software you are using.

rem In a RemoteAccess environment you can use:
CD \RA
MBUTIL Purge -File RemoteAccess

rem In a FrontDoor+TosScan environment you can use:
CD \FD
MBUTIL Purge -File TosScan

rem This works in all environments:
MBUTIL Purge -File MBUTIL.PUR

rem This command deletes invalid messages, recovers messages in
rem invalid boards and packs and renumbers the message base by
rem overwriting the existing message base files
MBUTIL Pack -Force -Renumber -Delete -Recover
goto Start

:Unpack
rem Toss incoming echomail, import netmail, sort unread messages
rem and create reply chains

MBUTIL Import
MBUTIL Sort -Pack
MBUTIL Link -Clean
goto Start

:Net
rem Only export NetMail
MBUTIL Export
goto Start

:Net&Echo
rem It is not necessary that there is NetMail that needs to be
rem exported, but we run Export anyway for the ReTear option.
rem We are sure that EchoMail needs to be exported.
rem Just replace the "goto Echo" with "goto Net&Echo"
MBUTIL Export -ReTear

goto Start
\--------------------------------------------------------------------/

History/Future
--------------

Until now I spent quit some hours writing, testing and
documenting MBUTIL and I will keep on doing that. There are also
things that can and will be done to make MBUTIL even a little bit
smaller and faster. There is still some redundant code that could be
made more compact and efficient. MBUTIL is also using quit a lot of
memory at the moment, which can be made less. Further I'm working on
my own echomail processor and a full screen personal mail check.



Registration
------------

As long as you don't register, MBUTIL will remind you of that on
the screen and in the logfile. MBUTIL is NOT crippled in any way. If
you use this program for a period of time and you decide you like it,
you can get a personal RegistrationKey by sending:

* $10US - $99US (Whatever the program is worth to you, may also be an
equivalent amount in a freely convertible currency).

* The name you want to have defined after the "RegisteredTo" keyword.

* Any questions, comments, suggestions and bug-reports, and ofcourse
your FidoNet (or else snail mail) address, to:

Gerard van der Land
Cannenburg 23
3772 BH Barneveld
The Netherlands

FidoNet 2:283/1.5 and 2:283/108.1

Users in The Netherlands can transfer their registration to
PostBank giro-account 5.245.162 in The Netherlands. For usres outside
The Netherlands there are a few other possibilities to send your
registration:

* Cash money in a registered letter.
* Sending a EuroCheque.
* International money order.
* Personal check. If you absolutely want to do this, the minimum
registration fee is $17US, because of the outrageous conversion cost
the banks charge when cashing a check.

You will receive your key per crashmail (or snailmail if you are
not in FidoNet) as soon as possible after I received the money or
money order form or check.

Don't forget to register!

Technical Notes
---------------

* MBUTIL was written using Turbo C 2.00 and Turbo Assembler 1.01.
* It writes directly to video RAM or DesqView/DoubleDOS virtual screen
buffer.
* It can't be used while an other program is also using the message
base at the same time (multitasking environments). It does not
support record locking yet, which might change in the near future.
* Import and Export are fully zone and point aware.
* Export creates FTS-0001 rev 12 compatible .MSG files.
* Import can parse Fido and SEAdog style .MSG dates.
* Link is based on code written by Folkert Wijnstra.
* You can use LZEXE 0.91 by Fabrice Bellard to reduce the size of
MBUTIL.EXE down to 32 KB.

* TRAFFIC.MBU has the follow format:

struct TRAFFIC.MBU {
unsigned int Outbound[200]; /* # of outbound messages per board */
unsigned char Month, Day, Year, Hour, Minute; /* file created */
unsigned long TotalCost; /* total netmail cost */
} Traffic;

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
