.PP
CrashWrite reads a text file and creates a .pkt file that can be processed
by CrashEcho. This can be used to post announcements and other messages in
areas. The best way to use CrashWrite is to let it generate packets in a
separate directory and then toss them with \fBcrashecho toss
\-\-dir=\fR\fIDIR\fR\fB \-\-no\-security\fR.
.PP
There are many options for CrashWrite. All keywords are optional except for
\fB\-\-out\-dir\fR. If you do not enter a keyword, a default value will
be used.
