What is SetLastRead?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SetLastRead is a a program to help Thor users to set all last read
pointers on a A/MBBS. It uses the data in the database to figure out
the last read message in each conference on a bbs. It adds DoCommand
events to the eventlist of the bbs, and these DoCommand events does the
job of setting the last read pointer of each conference you have
messages in.

I made this program because I was fed up with setting the last read
pointer manually when ABBS fucks up my grabs. (Which happens once in a
while.)


Usage
~~~~~
The usage of this program is quite simple. It's template is as follows:
BBSNAME,USAGE/S.

BBSNAME - The name of the bbs to set all last read pointers on.
USAGE/S - This gives you the the usage information for the program.

It will add the DoCommand events to any bbs you specify, but the actual
setting of the last read pointer will only work with ABBS and MBBS.

A DoCommand event which set the last read pointer will be added for
*all* conferences on the given bbs which has messages. If you have
conferences with messages in your database which you have resigned from
or is deleted on the bbs, you should delete the events for these
conferences.
