-
- CHANGES SINCE VERSION 1.1:

-
- CHANGES SINCE VERSION 1.0:
- ==========================
-
- - Added configuration options
- - Added URL links in mails
- - Improved security (exploit eliminated)
- - Two separators in a row is now supported
-
- Bonus: Added TextMode.rexx to the archive. It's an old script I used for
- reading mail via a telnet before WebYAM was born.
-
- WebYAM is a CGI script (written in ARexx) to access YAM folders from a web
- browser. To use the script you must install a web server, i.e. Apache. A
- static Internet connection would also come in handy, since there's really
- no reason to access your YAM folders from a local browser. ;-)
-
- Since I only made the script for my own use, I haven't bothered to write a
- lot of documentation. In fact, this readme is all you get. But here's some
- hints about how to get started:
-
- - In the top of the script itself, change YAMPath and Cfg.#? to your
- needs.
-
- - Do not rename the script.
-
- - In your web server, make sure the directory WebYAM is placed in is
- password-protected. There's no built-in security! Please do not ask
- me how to setup your web server.
-
- If you find bugs, feel free to contact me. Also, feature requests will
- make no harm, but I currently do not have any major improvement plans
- since WebYAM already does what I needed in the first place.
-
- Thanks to Ash Thomas for the NewIcons (he kindly gave me permission to
- include them in the archive, after I converted them to GIF).
-
- KNOWN BUGS:
-
- - Be careful with the 'Compose' facility. YAM 2.2 has a serious bug in
- one of the used ARexx commands.
- - The URL linker is not perfect yet, but should be sufficient for most
- common references.
-
- Have fun,
- Jacob Laursen
