TABEDIT (V1.0) TAB file command line editor / converter.
Copyright (C) 1994-1995 Jon M. Welfringer CIS:74250,1600
========================================================
TABEDIT is a command line utility designed to edit
your Novell MHS or Connect^2 TAB files for the purpose
of sharing user lists with other hosts or mail programs.
Generally, this should be installed as a gateway process
in your Connect2 mail router or MHS gateway daemon. This
way, your TAB files can be updated automatically.
This program enhances on the capabilities of Infinite
Technologies TAB2PM program which would convert a TAB
file to a Pegasus mail address book format.
The reason I designed this was because the Connect 2 mail
router from Infinite adds user names to your lists that
look like '-POST-'. I particularly didn't like these
entries in the address books, so this program will filter
them (or any other specified user) out.
Currently, the only conversion format is for Pegasus mail.
If someone has file specs on other address book formats
from other MHS based email systems, I would like to add
other export formats to this. Currently you can specify
the program to leave the intermediate export format when
processing for Pmail, but it is only a simple ASCII file.
Note that any tab file name can be processed with the
exception of your netdir.tab file. This is done for safety
to your MHS installation. If you want to use your netdir.tab
file as an address book, you should copy it to a new file.
Generally the conversion process is used for supplemental
TAB files from other hosts.
The following shows the command line options and examples:
( all option are case insensitive --> not case sensitive )
Usage: TABEDIT /SD: /DD: /DU: /PM: /KP:
/SD: = Source directory, if left off, uses default directory
as the source of the TAB files to process.
/DD: = Destination directory. Must be present, unless source
is supplied and is different than current directory.
/DU: = Delete username(s). Will delete the user or users
specified. Seperate multiple users by a comma.
/PM: = Convert to Pegasus mail address books. These are
created in the destination subdirectory along with
the processed TAB files.
/KP: = Keep Pmail intermediary export format (ASCII FILE) when
performing Pegasus mail imports.
Example: TABEDIT /DD:H:\PMAIL /PM: /DU:-POST-,GATEWAY
This will process all TAB files in current directory and place
them in the H:\PMAIL subdirectory. It will create Pegasus
address books in the destination directory, and delete the user
-POST- and the user GATEWAY from the destination files.
Example: TABEDIT /SD:Z:\MHS\MAIL\PUBLIC\WIZARD.TAB /DD:H:\PMAIL
/PM: /KP: /DU:-POST-,GATEWAY,ADMIN
This will process only the TAB file names WIZARD.TAB and place the
new copy in H:\PMAIL. It will create the Pegasus mail address
books and also keep the ASCII export format. The users -POST-,
GATEWAY and ADMIN will be deleted from the destination files.
WARNING: Use this program at your own risk. It has worked great
for me for some time now, but I will assume no responsibility
for the use of this program.
I have other email related utilities that I am working on. If you
have any comments or suggestions for this program or another, I
can be reached on Compuserve at 74250,1600. Or the Internet via
Compuserve as 74250.1600.COMPUSERVE.COM .
SHAREWARE: Try the program out. It is the full working version
that I use. If you use this program regularly, you should register
by sending a $25 payment for each server installed on. If you use
it on a stand alone machine (ie. MHS remote) a $5 payment would
be appreciated. Registered users will get the newest version
and be entitled to all future version of this program. (If you
send info on other file formats, I will give you a free copy.)
