ARCSYNC 
This utility compares messages in your Inbox with messages in a given archive.  
Messages are matched by author, subject, and message time and date.  ARCSYNC 
is useful for DOSMAIL users if you read and archive your messages at 
different times, and wish to be sure that a message is in the archive file 
before it is deleted from the Inbox.  It compares the messages in your 
inbox with messages in a given archive file.  Messages found in both 
locations are deleted from the Inbox.  

            Usage: ARCSYNC /Nname /Ppassword [/Ddirectory]
                    [optional parameters]

              /Nname             -  User Name.
              /Ppassword         -  User Password.

                                    command-line parameters.

            If the /AUTO parameter is not used, the program will ask if you 
            want to delete each matching message that it finds.
            If the /AUTO parameter is used, the program will automatically
            delete the message.


BBCLR 
This utility checks every bulletin board for unread messages, and prompts 
whether you want to mark them as read. This is useful if many messages that 
you do not want to see have arrived on one or more system BBSs, or if you are 
a new user and want to start out with no unread messages.


            Usage: BBCLR /Nname /Ppassword [/Ddirectory]

                                    command-line parameters.

            If the prefix is used, the program looks only for bulletin boards
            that begin with the prefix, and ignores all others.
            If the /AUTO parameter is not used, the program will ask if you
            want to mark the messages as read for every bulletin board it
