-====== FIXSMB - Rebuild Synchronet Message/Mail Base ======
+====== FIXSMB - Re-index Message Base ======
-**usage**: fixsmb [/opts] <smb_file>
+The Synchronet ''fixsmb'' utility can be used to repair specific types of message base corruption by re-creating the index (''.sid'') file and optionally, the hash (''.hash'') file. In the process, it can optionally re-number messages (use with caution!), undelete deleted messages, and even fix (change) duplicate message numbers.
-\\
-\\ opts:
+Do not use this utility unless directed to and always back-up your data first.
-  * /m - mail format instead of sub-board format
-\\ Example: //FIXSMB /M C:\SBBS\DATA\MAIL// or: //FIXSMB C:\SBBS\DATA\SUBS\DEBATE//
+  usage: fixsmb [-renumber] [-undelete] [-fixnums] [-rehash] <smb_file> [[smb_file] [...]]
-\\
-\\ Use the FIXSMB utility whenever CHKSMB shows that a message base has become corrupted due to problems with the index.
+Example:
+  fixsmb /sbbs/data/mail
+Example:
+  fixsmb /sbbs/data/subs/subsub
