MKSM106.LZH    226200  12-22-94  MK Source for Msg Access v1.06 - Mark May's
                                 Pascal OOP source code to access Squish,
                                 Jam, Hudson, *.Msg, and Ezycom message
                                 bases. Great for developing BBS utilities.
                                 (FW)

Get the above archive,and here is
a generic reader that I put together using Mark's units/source...


(*   Generic Message Reader by Martin Woods 1:351/233.1      *)
(* To use this you need MKSM106.LZH , Mark May's OOP library *)
(* which should be availible just about anywhere             *)
(* This program will read the following:                     *)
(*          HUDSON,SQUISH,*.MSG,EZY and JAM                  *)
(*    thanks to Mark May for writing a great Library!        *)
