(last revised 30 May 2006)

Reads the contents of a single-message plain text file and places it in a specified Earthworm transport ring with the given message logo. Look at the earthworm.d and earthworm_global.d for message types you can send, and module names you can send the messages to.

Useful for feeding known messages to Earthworm modules for testing.
