- IMLFA V2.0 Errata
-
-
- DO NOT USE ANY FORM OF FILE COMPACTOR ON THE IMLFA.EXE FILE!
-
- IMLFA uses an internal overlay structure to make more efficient use of
- your systems memory and speed up processing. Packing the executable
- file can cause these overlays to fail with unpredictable results. This
- failure is usually in the form of total system lockups, but can also
- corrupt data files or even worse, the IM log file itself.
-
- ******************
- If you have any utilities or use ECHO statements to write additional
- information to your IM log file, you may find that you will have
- problems with this program. I can't possibly code for external data
- that is being imported into the log. I have tried to make this sofware
- overlook anything that IM itself doesn't write.
-
- If you use ECHO, try to make sure that your statements do not duplicate
- those that are written by InterMail itself. ie...
-
- Calling
- RING
- CONNECT
- Sent
- Rcvd
- etc......
-
- Better yet, use the -T switch to let imlfa do all this for you.
-
- ******************
- With the recent popularity of OS/2 (and other multitaskers) and lower
- prices on 14400 modems, running InterMail in a multinode setting is
- becoming more and more common. It has caused some IMLFA users a
- problem though.
-
- If you are going to use IMLFA in a multitasking environment, please
- remember that you can NOT process your IM log file in another window
- while InterMail is running and has its log file open. IMLFA needs the
- EOF(end of file) marker to determine the File Size of the log it is
- about to process, and InterMail removes this marker at IM startup.
-
- Starting IMLFA with the -I or -B command line switches is simply
- out of the question if InterMail is running. All other command line
- switches will work however since they act only on IMLFA's stored data.
-
- Should you think that this is a limitation in IMLFA, try sending your
- current InterMail Log file to someone via a file attach message. :-)
-
- While it would be possible to copy the log file to a temp and work with
- that, I have opted not to use that method since it could cause you to
- loose data that is being written to the real log file while IMLFA is
- working with a copy. Something could get missed.
-
- Also, be sure to read the "Multitasking Considerations" section of the
- IMLFA.DOC file if you run a multinode system.
-
-
- Thanks...
