Short: Restores messages from a defective message base Author: andre@melior.s.bawue.de (Andre Schenk) Uploader: andre melior s bawue de (Andre Schenk) Type: comm/ums Version: 1.1 Replaces: comm/ums/UMSSalve1_0.lha Architecture: m68k-amigaos This program is based on the source code of UMSDoctor. It tries to restore as many as possible messages from a defective message base. UMSSalve understands the following parameters: OUTFILE/A name of the output file in export format SERVER/K name of UMS server DEEP/S deep mode DEBUG/S debug output The deep switch is the main difference to UMSDoctor. In this mode UMSSalve builds an index from the file ".header". So it is able to find all messages very quickly. The disadvantage is the high consumption of memory. First try the normal mode. If you find out that UMSSalve stops in the middle and needs a long time to store the next messages then try the deep mode. If you have enough RAM, then you should always use the deep mode. If the debug switch is set the program prints out the header offset and the text offset for every message. Please read the file "UMSDoctor.readme" to get further information. Important: ---------- You must use at least version 2.5 of the program "import", if you want to reimport the salved messages into another message base. History: -------- 1.0 - first release 1.1 - new argument "DEBUG" - renamed argument "FILE" in "OUTFILE"
