- Date of Update : December 04, 1997.
-
- Pragma's wrapper program allows char or console mode programs which do not
- run in Pragma's telnetd/terminal session in NT to run in that environment.
- Wrapper will ONLY work with Pragma's telnetd/terminal server. This has been
- tested to make the following programs to work over Pragma telnetd/terminal
- session :
-
- - Computer Associates Open Ingres database for NT cmd line tools
- - Microsoft's NT resource kit vi.exe editor, pmon.exe.
-
- Our tests show, any char/console program that fails to run within a
- telnetd/terminal server session, will be able to be run via wrap.exe
- executable supplied. Always choose full console mode when logging into
- Pragma's Telnetd Server when you want to run programs with the wrapper.
-
- Wrapper package contains these files :
-
- wrap.exe
- telnetd.dll
- readme.txt
-
- A single self-extracting file, wrapper.exe is supplied for
- installation. To install it, run wrapper.exe in an empty directory.
- The two files, wrap.exe and telnetd.dll, then should be copied to a directory
- which is in the PATH of the system environment. For example, for
- CA open ingres, copy them to ingres\bin directory. For other environments,
- you can copy them to \winnt\system32 directory.
-
- To run a program via Pragma's telnetD/terminal session which fails to run
- without a wrapper, run it via the wrap.exe program meaning prefix it with
- wrap program. So if program xyz.exe do not run in telnet session, run it
- as wrap xyz.exe or wrap xyz or wrap xyz.bat .
-
- The following example shows Ingres cmd tools and then nt resource kit's
- vi editor and pmon invocations via the wrapper ( wrap.exe ) program.
-
- wrap isql
- wrap fstm.exe -sql mydatabase
-
- wrap myingresapplic
-
- wrap vi myfile.c
- wrap \ntreskit\vi.exe myfile.c
- wrap pmon.exe
- wrap \ntreskit\pmon.exe
-
- wrap or wrap /? provides the usage, build number and time of expiry if
- eval version is being used.
-
- Current wrapper limits :
- - Screen clearing when a program ran via wrap ends takes an extra
- five seconds.
-
- The restrictions will be eliminated in future updates of wrapper technology.
-
- --------- Computer Associate Upfront product use Info --------------
- - Upfront in NT needs CA's patch 4733 or later to run properly in NT. This
- is not due to any need of Pragma's software.
-
- - To run upfront's TERM_INGRES=m0 MWS programs with Pragma telnetd server,
- you MUST choose "no" when the question is asked whether you want full
- console support. This gives you stream mode , which makes the MWS programs
- run in gui mode over telnet session. Stream mode is also called simple
- mode by other vendors.
-
- - To make wrapper programs run, you should choose "yes" when full console
- support question is asked. This means, you need two different telnet
- session into an NT machine, one with stream mode running ABF programs
- in MWS mode; another with full console mode running ABF programs with
- Pragma's wrap.exe over telnet session.
