MCHANGE(1)           FNORDADEL BBS SOFTWARE            MCHANGE(1)

NAME
     mchange.tos - change the number of available Fnordadel
     mailslots.

SYNOPSIS
     mchange <newsize>

DESCRIPTION
     Mchange will increase or decrease the number of mail mes-
     sages available to all users (including the Sysop).  Give it
     the desired new size on the command line, and mchange will
     munge away, resizing things as required.  When finished it
     will remind you to change ctdlcnfg.sys accordingly and run
     configur.tos.  If you don't, your system will suffer a ter-
     rifying end at the hands of the Ruggieman.

     Mchange expects to be run from the directory containing your
     ctdltabl.sys file.

OPTIONS
     <newsize>
          The desired new number of mailslots.  There can be no
          less than 1 and no more than 999.

NOTES
     If the number of mailslots is being decreased, mchange will
     gleefully expunge any user's N oldest messages, where N is
     the number of slots being removed.  Nothing else can be
     done.  As the Sysop, you should archive any messages you
     can't bear to be parted with.  It would be a nice gesture to
     notify your users as well.  Perhaps in Mail>...?

     Please PLEASE **PLEASE** make a backup of your system before
     running this program.  It's not that we expect it to blow
     up, it's just that Murphy is everywhere.

FILES
     mchange.tos             The mailslot muncher.
     #roomdir\room0001.sys   The Mail> room file.
     ctdlcnfg.sys            The configuration file.
