This is the README for the OS/2 version of Junkbuster 1.4 beta 1
For general informations about Junkbuster consult the file README.
This version of Junkbuster was 'ported' from the original unix version.
It wasn't really a port, because with the wonderful EMX library and the
GNU C-Compiler it was an easy task.
After unpacking the Zip-archiv (on a HPFS-drive) you will find the following files:
bin\junkbuster.exe - The OS/2 executable version of Junkbuster
bin\junk.cmd - Command file which invokes junkbuster.exe with options
blockfile - a sample blockfile
cookiefile - a sample cookiefile
README - the original README
junkbuster.1 - the manual as a UNIX manpage
gpl.html - GNU General Public Licence
ijbfaq.html - Manual for the Internet Junkbuster, HTML format
ijbman.html - Frequently Asked Questions on the Internet Junkbuster
blockfile.org - the original provided blockfile
README.OS2 - guess, you read it
source.zip - the source code
Changes on the orginal source:
* added compile and linker-options for OS/2 EMX to the 'Makefile'
* added '#include <sys/param.h>' with appropriate #ifdef's to 'socks4.c'
* made a cosmetic change to 'jcc.h' to report version as 'IJ/1.4 OS/2'
* changed the default user-agent in 'jcc.c' from the macintosh default to
'User-Agent: Mozilla/3.0 (OS/2; I)' (as the actual Navigator for OS/2 reports)
Additional the rx-library 'ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/rx-1.5.tar.gz'
was compiled for OS/2 EMX to make the regular expressions in the blockfile
available (for more informations look at the makefile).
The OS/2 executable version of Junkbuster can be found in the subdirectory 'bin'.
There you can also find the file 'junk.cmd' as an example on how to invoke
the junkbuster. For further configuration options consult the files
'ijbfaq.html' and 'ijbman.html'.
Installation is very easy. Adjust the parameters (mainly the -f option) in
'junk.cmd' then start it. For regular use you should add this file to the
startup folder of OS/2. Now open your Netscape Navigator and enter as the
'HTTP-Proxy' and 'Security-Proxy': 'HTTP://127.0.0.1' Port: '8000'.
For the IBM-WebExplorer enter in the field 'Proxy-Gateway':
'http://127.0.0.1:8000/'.
To test the correct installation enter the URL 'http://127.0.0.1/show-proxy-args'
Now you should see the status page of Junkbuster. If this doesn't work for you
check if Junkbuster is really runnning (open windowlist) and if you entered
the correct options for the proxy.
I renamed the original delivered 'blockfile' to 'blockfile.org'. Look there
for a short description on how to block URL's and images. As a 'real' blockfile
I included 'blockfile' with the definitions found on 'www.junkbuster.com'.
For a complete description on how to configure the blockfile consult the
manual 'ijbman.html'. Cookies are always blocked. But you can allow cookies
from specific sites by adding them to 'cookiefile'. For more informations look
at this file or the manual.
The port was done on 1997/08/20 by Gerd Flender.
The program was tested under OS/2 Warp 4 with Netscape/2 2.02 and IBM WebExplorer,
but it should run with no problem under Warp 3 and Warp 3 Connect.
I release it with the status of a beta, because I only tested it under the
above configuration and only for a few days (I could not find any problems :)
So if you use this programm with a different configuration I would like to
hear your experiences. I would also like to know if there is a need for a
PM-frontend for configuring the Junkbuster. Maybe I find the time to write one.
For bug-reports, more informations or your comments regarding the OS/2 version
of Junkbuster mail to 'plgerd@informatik.uni-siegen.de'
