- TS2GMD V1.0
-
-
- This is a basic doc for a basic program:
-
- TS2GMD interface for GMD (Grunged Message Detector).
-
- This shell launches and replaces PKUNZIP, PKXARC, in TosScan's
- TSetup "decompression programs" screen, then runs GMD.EXE on the
- incoming packets before TosScan has a chance to toss them on the
- message base.
-
- TS2GMD collects the unarchiver's exit code, then passes it
- unmodified to TosScan. It takes very little memory to run.
-
- How to configure TSetup: instead of using:
-
- Program Parameters
- -------------------------
-
- ZIP PKUNZIP -o
-
- use:
-
- ZIP TS2GMD PKUNZIP -o
-
- Do the same for other unarchivers.
-
- All programs (PKUNZIP, PKXARC, ZOO, GMD, etc...) should be located
- somewhere in the path, or in the current directory if the programs
- really mean it...
-
- This is public domain, use, modify and distribute at will. The
- copyright is just for my ego. The source is included FYI, and cannot
- be recompiled if you do not have Blaise Computing's libraries. It
- can be modified to use other libraries, of course.
-
- A future version could include the following features:
-
- 1) Launch or do not launch GMD according to the settings of a TS2GMD
- env. variable. this would provide a means to activate GMD for some
- poll events, for instance.
-
- 2) Log or do not log TS2GMD's activity.
-
- 3) Post a report in netmail, using XRobot, on what has been going on
- (packets checked, etc).
-
- 4) Swapping option (disk/EMS), using execswap. It is not really
- necessary.
-
- Please let me know what you feel desirable.
