- We are using Pathworks and ccMail. The ccMail-DOS to PMDF-ccMail is pretty
- straight forward and as described in the PMDF documentation. But, get the
- stuff into the MAC environment is another issue.
-
-
- Using ccMail suggestions for getting ccMail-Mac to gateway to other systems
- requires a PC running Phonenet Talk. The Phonenet talk mounts the Mac
- volume with the postoffice on it and the import file (in bound to ccMail).
- This import file is create by PMDF and does not have any of the resource
- information that Mac's like. This information is provided by the VAX
- Pathworks-Mac server. Unfortunatly the default values for the resource
- information for the files that we decided to create did not work. We ended
- up adding entries to the MSA$ROOT:[MSA]MSAF$FILES_TYPES.DAT file to resolve
- the problem. This is a little of a black art for me so I thought that our
- implementation might be interesting to others. Here are the entries that
- we added.
-
- !
- ! Make a file that PhoneNet Talk will like
- !
- !Format Attr Semantics ".EXT" Creator Type Translation
- * * * EXP mdos TEXT none
- * * * IMP mdos TEXT none
- * * * UND mdos TEXT none
-
- Thus, and file that has a file type of EXP, IMP, or UND will get marked
- with a creator of mdos, a type of TEXT, and no translation will be
- performed. What to set this to was gleaned of looking at a file that was
- created by ccMail-Mac with ResEdit.
-
- Hope this is useful. Comments greatly appreciated.
