Detect & Execute for OS/2

-------------------------------------------
Introduction
------------
Ok, you ask me what is this. Well, if your Mailer always died for
some unknown (or known) reasons, maybe system failure or naughty users, if
you want to make sure your BBS won't NO CARRIER all the time when you are
out (like the author who lived in hostel most of the days), Detect &
Execute (DE.EXE) is the way you go.
Just stick it to ALARM.EXE (in the OS/2 Productivity Folder) and
set the alarm to execute DE.EXE (of course with the correct parameters),
DE.EXE will take care of your BBS and make sure if it is downed, it will
be fired up again. No asking, no waiting, just doing ...
Installation
------------
If you donno how to decompress the archive (!!!), follow the command
below (remember, you should use InfoZIP since there are EAs inside!)
UNZIP DE102.ZIP
Here it is the way to install, no kidding. Hee ...
Report of bugs
--------------
If you want to report a bug, or any suggestions (highly
recommended), please do it either in OS2BBS fidonet echo (be careful of
mail loss) or in netmail to 6:700/443.0@fidonet.org. In the content, please
include the following informations :
- Versions of OS/2 you are running (e.g. 2.1GA, OS/2 for Windows)
- The program you use DE.EXE with, if available, include its
versions.
- Versions of 4OS2 (or CMD.EXE), with the information generated by
the SYSLEVEL.EXE command.
- Any other information you think useful.
Warranty
--------
Of course, I DON'T guarantee any kind of loss of data because of
the use of DE.EXE (even you are sure or not), I can ONLY guarantee it
occupies a certain amount of disk space. DON'T BLAME ME.
Registration
------------
Well, this program is GENERALLY considered as freeware BUT if you
are using it in commercial environment you are expected to pay a one-time
site license fee of US$150.
Of course, any donation (money or postcard) are encouraged. When
I get a certain amount of donation ($$$) I can buy a copy of CA-Realizer
and start writing 32bit PM programs. Of course, you guys will surely
benefit from it.
How to contact the Author
-------------------------
If you want to contact the author for any reasons, OS2BBS fidonet
echo or netmail to 6:700/443.0@fidonet.org (or fax, if you like) is the
way to go. Netmail is the fastest way to go since my hub doesn't always
receive OS2BBS echo stably. So if you don't receive my reply in fidonet
OS2BBS echo don't be angry. The mail may probably get lost on the way.
Well, here is my postal address (I believed it will be valid at
least up to July 30, 1994) :
