'sumstl' or 'SUMSTools' stands for "Stuntzi's UMS Tools" and is a collection of six useful tools for the UMS message base system: SUMSPrint extract certain messages from message base to a file. SUMSWrite create new messages. SUMSSet set certain bits on certain messages. SUMSFolder set folder on certain messages. SUMSDel deletes certain messages SUMSExport exports certain messages in a UMS-specific format With the aid of these six tools, you can perform lots of actions, such as automatic message archiving, automatic generation of return receipts, automatic message forwarding, areafix support, user filter, etc. You could e.g. select all messages about "MUI", extract them from the message base with SUMSPrint and forward them to a special MUI-Area with SUMSWrite. Or you could select all messages from user "Martin Horneffer" and route them via SUMSPrint to a printer. Thus, you will have all his mumbling on a sheet of paper and can easily create some nice paper planes. :-) If you are a node that offers some kind of areafix, SUMSPrint could extract all messages to user "Areafix" for further parsing with an areafix tool. Do you need some kind of expire? Just select all messages in 'fidonet.Amiga.ger' that are older than 30 days and set the Expire-Bit with SUMSSet. There are simply no limits!
