Short: Recover broken database BBS/conferences Author: AmigaPhil Uploader: AmigaPhil scarlet be Type: comm/thor Version: 1.4 Architecture: generic BBSsalvage.br is an ARexx script which will rewrite an entire BBS system (or a single conference) in an attempt to recover a database Thor can no more read. I wrote this script because ValidateThor didn't fix a problem in the database which made Thor to freeze while trying to open a conference (you can read all in details on AmigaWorld.net : http://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=21282&forum=27&11 Because the deleted or unreadable elements are not restored, BBSsalvage.br can also be used as a tool to optimize conferences (smaller file sizes). NEW in v1.4 - When salvaging an entire BBS system, the UserBase (Address Book) was not properly moved to the newer BBS. The UserBase is now copied as well during the BBS salvaging process. - Added another tool (UserBaseSalv.rexx) which builds a (plain text) address book from info extracted from a User.tags file. - The copyback buffer mode is now used in attempt to speed-up the operation a bit. See the .readme file inside the archive for more info.
