ML> Is there an SQD editor ?
To the best of my knowledge, not in the way you are looking for.
ML> I'm looking for a tool that allows me to edit chain
ML> links in SQDs, or modify/renumber a Squish index, and
ML> even modify msg attributes eg. dates & times.
There are some chain linker programs out there, but this is for using the plus
(+) and minus (-) keys for chaining through a thread, and possibly some editing
of some attributes (such as file attach, crash, etc.). I don't know of any
that allow editing of date / time stamps except for maybe a Y2K fix that fixed
a bogus time stamp....
ML> I want to be able to insert, move and renumber Squish messages.
ML> For example, existing messages in area BBS_ANNOUNCEMENTS:
ML> Msg#: 1 of 10, 01-Oct-2006
ML> Msg#: 2 of 10, 02-Oct-2006
ML> Msg#: 3 of 10, 03-Oct-2006
ML> I want to insert a new message as #2, and then renumber
ML> subsequent messages accordingly ie. #2 to #3, #3 to #4
ML> and so forth.
Ah.... You might want to use the tools to convert from squish to *.msg format,
perform your inster and then convert from *.msg back to squish. That might do
what you want. If you are a major hub, you will need to take care to not dupe
things back out in the process. Also, you may loose some history of what's
been tossed to whom in the process.
ML> Additionally I would like to modify time stamps as well.
ML> timEd and the Maximus Msg_ menu options don't allow me
ML> to edit time stamps.
Good luck with the hunt....
Take care....
