    From Sean Dennis@1:18/200 to All on Fri Jun 21 16:13:28 2013
    Hello, All.

    Does anyone have a MEX or something that will allow a user to reset their last read pointer in a message base? I haven't found anything yet and I'm suspecting that I may have to try to learn MEX and write one myself.

    Later,
    Sean

    Hi Sean

    Haven't looked exactly at this, but a beautiful site with HUGE support for things like this is at:

    www.filegate.net

    I'd guess that anything you might want like this could be downloaded from
    the site.

    And for a joke here only, chortle

    ... Humans worshipped cats 2000 years ago and the cats never forgot.

    Dogs have, say, a thousand times better ability to analyze the smell of anything than we humans do. If you want a dog to remember you for life all you
    have to do is blow in it's nose. So told me by a fido friend decades ago. Who
    also, believe it or not, finished this comment by telling me that you don't ever do this with a cat in your arms when you coach the dog. Chomp.

    I know about that filebase, Mike: I'm the one that provided it to Janis to put on her site and I have that entire filebase for download off of my BBS. :)

    Gary Gilmore gave me his entire website before he "retired" from BBSing back in
    the early naughts and I still have it.

    Thanks anyway!

    Did you check out this one?

    srlr102.zip 10k Store/Restore LastRead v1.02 Two MEX
    Message/QWK utils for Max 3.01+. Keeps records of lastread message numbers or sets the lastread message numbers by stored record in Squish areas. FREEWAR

    This one is in the general /maximus_bbs/* directory here, not in maxfdn file areas.. I think maximus_bbs is just a collection of files I had collected over time before you sent over the maxfdn files.

    http://www.filegate.net/maximus_bbs/srlr102.zip

    Take care,
    Janis

    Yeah, I did, and unfortunately that doesn't work right. I just haven't ever had time to sit down and figure out what's wrong.

    Thanks for looking though, I appreciate it!
