- -----------------------------
-
- This is a new utility that is currently used to set/unset the gateways
- flag within inet.library (version 5.0 or later.)
-
- The current options are
-
- -G=GATEWAY/K,-Q=QUERY/K:
-
- The -G=GATEWAY flag requires an argument. That argument must be a '0'
- (zero) for "off" and anything else ('1', 'mommy', etc) for 'on'.
-
- The -Q=QUERY flag requires an argument. The argument to this flag will
- be one of the other available flags. In this version (1.0) the only
- option is 'G' for "gateway". So saying
-
- configinet -Q=G
-
- will return you the current state of gateways flag in inet.library. The
- output will be as an ascii '0' or '1'. Rediection of this output will
- cause suppression of the trailing line feed, facilitating using this as
- a way to set environment variables. ("configinet >env:gateway_state -q=g")
-
- The only folks who even need to use this are those who use their Amiga
- as a gateway between other systems. The 5.0 inet.library defaults this
- flag to 'off' (older iinet.library revs defaulted to -on-.)
