GenMsg can function nicely with D'Bridge, and is a suitable replacement
for the D'B Internal Editor, and/or can used as an "alternate" message
viewer/editor envoked from a Function Key.
GenMsg will generate the files D'Bridge uses to determine if/what message
bases need to be scanned for new messages. It will also handle the D'Bridge
files used to flag that Net and Echomail is waiting.
To use it with D'Bridge you must have one of the following ENVIRONMENT
variables: DB=<path_to_DB>, -or- DBRIDGE=<path_to_DB>, set, and the
"DBridge=On" variable set in your GenMsg configuration file.
The ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE can be set by adding a line to your Autoexec.bat
file such as:
Set DB=C:\COMM\DB
Configuring GenMsg is done in the GenMsg.ini file, the variable must be
set to on in this manner:
; Optional, enables D'Bridge interface.
; DBridge=[On|Off]
Dbridge=On
To setup for use with D'Bridge, configure GenMsg for use from DOS, with
your path such that GenMsg can be envoked from the D'B directory, then
configure D'Bridge for calling it from either the ALT-E (invoke editor)
command or from a Function Key assignment.
FUNCTION KEY ASSIGNMENT:
This is done from the ADVANCED setup menu, Function-Keys assignments.
Select which function key to assign for calling GenMsg, and configure it to
call GenMsg in this manner:
+Genmsg
ALT-E ASSIGNMENT:
GenMsg can also be installed in place of the Internal Editor. To do this
you use the "Setup Editor" Menu of D'B. The setup values should be:
EMAIL editor: Other
Rebuild queue: Yes
Scan ECHOmail: Yes
DOS commands:+GenMsg
The plus-sign "+" prefix causes D'Bridge to provide the maximum amount of
memory for use by GenMsg. This very is important if you will be using the
PGP interface, as PGP requires as much memory as possible. If you do not
use PGP, and the editor you use with GenMsg does not require much memory,
you may not require the plus-sign prefix, but it would even then be prefered
in most cases.
