Introduction =============== 1.1 Legal stuff --------------- MM_SetAreaDesc is just a script to temporary fix the missing MM_Set*Area*- commands of MM v1.1. Especially the missing possibility to set the descrip- tion of an #(ECHO|FECHO|TICK)AREA.

This means if you use it, please write me a short mail. You know, it is frustrating to write programs and there are no responses from the users if they like it or not... Accepting these few points is the only condition for using MM_SetAreaDesc... ============================================================================= The author is not responsible for any problems caused by using this program! ============================================================================= 1.2 General stuff ----------------- I am not the best in writing doc, but quiet good in coding I think :-) This docs are a bit short I have to appolognize, but I hope you'll understand it anyway... Especially my English and the typo's ;-) If there is anybody out there who is able to & wants translate the docs to his own language, please do so and send them to me! I'll add them to the next release. Also translators always will get the newest betas! ;-) Unfortunatly I don't have the will & time to translate my docs even to German - my time is better used for coding :-) 1.3 Author ---------- If you have suggestions or remarks about this program, or if you find any bugs, please let me know.

Features =========== MM_SetAreaDesc... ... is able to set the area-description of #(ECHO|FILE|TICK)AREAs - it /fixes/ the missing set-areadesc-function of MM <=1.2. 3. Installation =============== Just copy the script to MM:Rexx/... 4. Usage ======== [RX] MM_SetAreaDesc[.rexx] CFG/A,NEWCFG/A,DESCFILE/A,QUIET/S,INSERT/S, REPLACE/S CFG the currently loaded MM.cfg NEWCFG the name to save the cfg as DESCFILE the name of the file containing the area-descriptions FORCE overwrite NEWCFG if it already exists QUIET don't ask, just do it :-) INSERT do not change existing descriptions, just insert new ones REPLACE replace CFG with NEWCFG and force MM to reload its cfg 5. Theory of operation ====================== MM_SetAreaDesc will check every area you have if there is a description for it in the descfile, if so it will (ask you and) set it. It has to be done this way, because locating an area inside a big cfgfile is dog-slow! After all was checked, the new cfg will be written. Now you have to check and replace your old cfg with it. It isn't the fastest but it works... I suggest you to join all the descfiles you have instead of starting it once for every file. You can try it using Examples/Example.lst... 6. Acknowledgements =================== Pino Aliberti For his EXCELLENT Mail Manager! For implementing nearly all I wanted (this was much work I think and delayed the release of MM for some month ;-)) For our hard but fair fights in MMBETA and at least for the nice note about me in the docs 8^)))) _ o Robert Hofmann 2:2490/1015@FidoNet 16:168/9024@ZyxelNet |<)_/# 39:171/101@AmigaNet 107:1805/230@TrekNet TT
