When starting external programs Changi will normally call
the command processor defined by COMSPEC. If you're running any other than
the default C:\OS2\CMD.EXE
and you're getting problems running this with Changi, then
SET CHANGICOMSPEC=C:\OS2\CMD.EXEassuming that C: is the drive on which you installed OS/2.
The environment variable CHANGIGREPCALL redefines the default call
grep -sli
to search for articles containing a specified pattern.
rnews -P
used by Changi.
Incoming articles will be fed in batch format to the standard input channel of the specified program.
SET CHANGIRNEWSCALL=myrnews.cmd
The environment variable CHANGISMAILCALL redefines the default call
sendmail -t
to send posts to moderated groups to the moderator via email.
The environment variable CHANGISORTCALL redefines the default call
exsort +1n
used by Expire to sort a newly created history file.
The environment variable CHANGIUNCOMPRESS redefines the default call
gzip -dc
to uncompress compressed batch files.
The environment variable CHANGIUNZIP redefines the default call
gzip -dc
to uncompress g-zipped batch files.
This environment is ignored if Chanx has been called with option -mx. In this case use CHANXFILTEROVER.
Example:
SET CHANXFILTERMACRO=R:\changi\filter\avoidspam.cmd
Example:
SET CHANXFILTEROVER=R:\changi\filter\overselect.cmd
Like many other programs and the system itself, Changi uses the environment variable COMSPEC to get the name of the command line processor.
