WinNT's Blat ver 1.1 has been uploaded to the following FTP sites:

o gepasi.dbs.aber.ac.uk:/blat11.zip
  (readily available)

o ftp.cica.indiana.edu:/pub/pc/win3/nt/blat11.zip

Distributions are in the form of .ZIP files, be sure to user binary
mode FTP to do the transfer.

Blat is a command line SMTP mail client for Windows NT, originally by
Mark Neal and Pedro Mendes. A great part of the code in this program
was produced by the WinVN team (including GENSOCK.DLL).

Both source code and binaries for intel 80486 are distributed. 
Recompile the source code if you need it for a different 
architecture.

Ok. folks... We have updated the Blat code to version 1.1
so that it now seems to run ok under NT3.5 build 807. Thanks
to all the people who found bugs and even more thanks to 
people who fixed things. The arguments are now parsed properly
and the problem with the registry under 3.5 is fixed. Old 
installations of Blat 1.0 should use regedt32.exe to delete 
the entry from "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Public Domain\Blat".
The new version stores this stuff in 
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Public Domain\Blat". ENJOY!

below is a description of the program

>------------------------------------

Blat is a Public Domain (generous aren't we?) Windows NT console utility which
will e-mail a file to a user via SMTP. The program requires the "gensock" DLL
(borrowed from WinVN). A Registry entry is generated when the program is used
with the -SMTP flag. This stores the address of the SMTP server, and the 
address of the _default_ sender (this may be overridden with the -f flag).
Impersonation can be done with the -i flag which puts the value specified in
place of the senders address in the "From:" line of the header, however if this
is done the real senders address is stamped in the "Reply-To:" and "Sender:"
lines. This can be useful when using the program to send message from NT users
that are not registered on the SMTP host.


SYNTAX: 
syntax:
Blat <filename> [-s <subject>] -t <recipient> -f <address> [-i <address>]
Blat -SMTP <server address>
Blat -h

-SMTP <server address> <senders address>: set's the address of the SMTP server t
o be used

<filename>: the file with the message body
-s <subject>: the (optional) subject line
-t <recipient>: the recipient's address
-c <recipient>: the carbon copy recipient's address
-f <sender>: the sender's address (must be known to the SMTP server)
-i <address>: a 'From:' address, not necessarily known to the SMTP server.
-h: displays this help.

THIS ANNOUNCEMENT WAS MAILED WITH BLAT!

Enjoy!
