Hi Mike,

ML> Long ago and far away I gave a small amount of money
ML> for a DOS database analysis tool called askSam.  The
ML> askSam, at least the professional version,is written
ML> totally in assembler and is VERY fast and good.

I use all Squish message base format here, and I archive the Echo's I want to
keep using TOPICX (Topic Extract). It will extract ALL or selected messages
using a wonderful array of criteria, and you can dump the entire message into a
plain text file. It keeps a log file and uses that to find the next starting
point for each Area you process, only NEW messages are added. Available in DOS
and OS/2 versions, TOPX_110 and TOPXP111. Its old (1992) and reports this year
2001 as 101, but otherwise its pretty good for me. Shouldn't be too hard to
post process the date into the correct format with a couple of lines of
Rexx.....;-)

Let me know if you can't find it and want a copy.

Cheers..............pk.
