Contributor: SWAG SUPPORT TEAM Program VERBOSITY_INDEX; { JUSTIN MARQUEZ Reads a FidoNet *.MSG File areas and logs info about authorship and "verbosity" found in the messages. Requires Turbo Pascal 7.xx or Borland Pascal 7.xx (for the StringS Unit) OutPut is redirectable. Can be quickly sorted With Dos's SORT.COM Here is a batch File you may find useful: rem YAK.BAT verbose %1 > zap.txt sort < zap.txt > yak.txt /+37 /R del zap.txt This Program is written by Justin Marquez, FidoNet 106/100 It is being donated to all as a PUBLIC DOMAIN Program, which may be freely used, copied and modified as you please.
