UMS2KMS 1.0 -*- UMS to KMS Area Converter ©1994 Thomas Schwarz ============================================================== Documentation ============= Description: ------------ This tool creates a KMS area data file containing an area tree based on the existing groups in your UMS message base. The tree is built according to the UMS group name components which are separated by periods. For example: For the UMS group "comp.sys.amiga.misc" UMS2KMS will create the KMS message area "/COMP/SYS/AMIGA/MISC". So this tool can save you quite some work, I think. Further modifications afterwards can be done with the KMS Area Manager and the online "BRETTED" KMS command. Call Syntax: (CLI only) ------------ UMS2KMS FILENAME/A,ROOT/K,FORCE/S Arguments: ---------- FILENAME/A Name of KMS area data file to be read/written/created. ROOT/K Name of KMS root area, the new area tree is to be built in. If not already existent, this area will be created. If no root is given, the new areas are created directly on the uppermost area level. FORCE/S Normally no new KMS area is created for an UMS group, if there already exists one assigned to it (but e.g. following an alter- native naming scheme). If this switch is given, KMS areas are created for all UMS groups not pondering about existing areas.

They prefer simple, vicious games, where you Do Not Achieve Transcendence but Go Straight to Oblivion; a key to the understanding of all religion is that a god's idea of amusement is Snakes and Ladders with greased rungs. -- (Terry Pratchett, Wyrd Sisters)
