That is the smbutil.  You create an ANSI/ASC type ad file, then use something
like: smbutil -i -tAll -fSniper -sBBSAD ic:\ad.asc
c:\sbbs\data\subs\doveads.shd.  Now type the smbutil by itself and it will give
you a help file:

-i  <ignore Dupes required for constant posting>
-t  the "To" user name for imported messages
-f  Set "From" user name
-s  Subject
i   import msg from text file

And then the filespec.shd <path and name>.  Get this from the specific message
area you want to post in.  Use SBBSCONFIG and re-edit your message areas, and
it will give you the specific file name, and directory path.

Now, create a batch file file with all the commands listed and add it to your
forced time events.
