Message Tracing Mod for msg.seg.s
==================================

This mod was designed to allow the caller to “trace” a message posted back to the originator of the post. Basically, if the caller enters “T” he will be shown the message that the present message is a reply to. (Is that about as clear as mud?) From there, he can either hit “N” and go to the next consecutive message, “C” to return to where the Trace first began, or “T” to further trace back through the messages. The number of traces is only limited by the actual number of linked messages, and in all cases, “C” will return you to your original message read on that call. In addition, I’ve added a short “help” display with the “?” since the number of possible responses has increased.

A number of small changes are necessary in the program in order to avoid an error occurring, but these are rather simple. I’ve “zeroed” a variable in a few spots that might not be necessary, but I thought it wise to be sure. If your message.seg is as highly modified as mine, you might need to slightly alter this code, but I think it should fit right in.

If you have any problems let me know. I have allowed for killed messages, and for the auto-kill if the board is full as far as number of messages so that the “C” will still go back to the proper message. If you like this mod DON’T FORGET WHERE YOU GOT IT! and give me a call to let me know you like it… you might even leave me some nice mod you have….
