1. What it is
=============

 MQ is a small utility to quote or print a Fidonet Message or a normal Text.


2. How to start
===============

MQ V1.3 Message quoting - (C) by Andreas Krieg 1992

Usage: mq <infile> <outfile> [-i<initials>] [-c<numcols>] [-r(eflow)]

   or: mq <infile> <outfile> -p(rint) -n(o seen-by) -h(ide ctrl-a lines)

There are two modes for MQ. If you specify '-p' as the third argument, MQ
expects a Fidonet-Message. The Message will be stored without any quoting.

The other mode (without '-p' argument) is quoting a Text or a Fidonet-Message,
with or without reflowing the Text. Here is a description of the Arguments:


 <infile> : The Fidonet-Message to quote/print.
 <outfile>: The Name of the File MQ sends its output to.

 MODE 1:
---------

 -i<initials>: MQ quotes a normal Textfile without a Fidonet-Header.
               <initials> defines the quotestring, e.g. '-iAK' will store
               'AK>' in the beginning of every line.

               If the argument -i is not given, MQ quotes a Fidonet-Message
               and gets the initials from the Header of the Message.

 -c<numcols> : Defines the right border for linewrapping, default is 78.

 -r(eflow)   : Enables text reflowing (bad to explain waht it is...).


 MODE 2:
---------

 -p(rint)     : This argument selects the 'printmode'. MQ expects a
                Fidonet-Message. MQ will create a Textfile with a Header which
                contains a From, To, Subject and Date-Line followed by the
                original Messagetext.

 -n(o seen-by): MQ will not print the SEEN-BY's of the Message.

 -h(ide ctrl-a lines) :

                MQ will hide all lines beginning with a ^A character, e.g.
                ^APATH, ^AMSG-ID...


Have Fun!
