Short: Latest update of Login,Logproc,lookup,sendit,xfreqsh,xtool.
type: comm/fido
uploader: aa302@freenet.carleton.ca (Russell McOrmond)
The new WPL mailer language allows for many external support
programs to interface with it. These sample tools are provided as the
bare minimum compliment, and are the ones that are in current use on
my system. Full sources are included in this archive for all utilities.
Two sets of utilities exist. First, the WPL support utilities:
Login - Allows WPL (Or Welmat) to act as a GETTY for UUCP style
logins.
LogProc - The new REXX based logging system being used by WPL
applications.
Lookup - a small binary that uses IGEN's 'nodelist.library' in order
to look up a node in the nodelist. Extreme minor changes and a
re-compile would allow this program to be used with traplist.library.
The other three utilities are xferq.libary support utilities. While
WPL is currently the first network mailer to make use of XferQ, these
programs in no way require WPL itself, but any XferQ supporting mailer.
Sendit - A simple XferQ supporting utility that demonstrates how a
mailer would interface to xferq.library
XTool - A utility that allows one to add, remove, list and querry
the XferQ outbound database. This simple utility could be used as the
basis for a full user friendly GUI based outbound editor.
XFreqSH - This is a 3 in 1 utility that is used as a demonstration
to other file request authors as to how to interface to XferQ. The
full sources are released to the public domain with the intent that
people will make use of these sources as an example, and rip code out
of it to place into their own software.
It does 3 things:
a) Acts as a 'file notification' utility in that it can be ran on
the receipt of any file, and can use AmigaDOS pattern matching to do
distinct things based on the received filename.
b) Acts as a simple file request handler with a very simple built
in file database.
c) Acts as a shell to enable any file request handler that works
with Trapdoor to work with XferQ, and works in both a new asynchronous
method as well as the old Trapdoor/Paragon synchronous temporary file
method (Obviously the asynchronous method is much faster for a real
session)
The latest update of these utilities are always available for
fidonet file request from fidonet#1:1/139.
