Foldup 2.1 REXX script is now compatible with Object REXX for WinNT/95 and
OS/2, as well as Standard OS/2 REXX, and PC-DOS 7 REXX.

Now anyone who wants to run it on WinNT/95 will have to download and
install Object REXX on their system. Object REXX for WinNT/95 is available
for free from IBM at the following URL:

http://service.software.ibm.com/dl/rexx/orexx-l

Now whether anyone who doesn't have REXX installed already would want
to install it now, just for this one script, is an entirely different
question which I must leave to your individual consciences! I'm just
telling you it is now possible. (-: WinNT/95 Object REXX (the full package)
takes approximately 3 megs of space, or something around that much.

To recap what the Foldup script can do:

* Scan and report stats on yarn folders
(how many messages, biggest, smallest, etc)
* Find and mark older duplicate messages in folders for deletion
(mostly useful for cleaning earlier versions of re-edited
messages in your posted/mailed folders)
* "Expire" old messages from yarn folders based on the message's
"Date:" header. You specify how many days you want kept,
all messages older will be marked for deletion.

You'll find the script on this page:
