Hansen 1. Introduction =============== 1.1 Legal stuff --------------- MM_HandleTicFiles is an Arexx-script for Mail Manager by Pino Aliberti. The programs and files in this distribution are freely distributable, but are also Copyright (c) Kent B. Hansen. They may be freely distributed as long as no more than a nominal fee is charged to cover time and copying costs. No commercial usage is permitted without written permission from the author Everything in this distribution must be kept together, in original unmodified form. MM_HandleTicFiles is mailware :-). This means if you use it, please write me a short mail. You know, it is frustrating to write programs and there are no responses from the users if they like it or not... Accepting these few points is the only condition for using MM_HandleTicFiles... ============================================================================= The author is not responsible for any problems caused by using this program! ============================================================================= 1.2 General stuff ----------------- I am not the best in writing doc. This docs are a bit short I have to appolognize, but I hope you'll understand it anyway... Especially my English and the typo's ;-) If there is anybody out there who is able to & wants translate the docs to his own language, please do so and send them to me! I'll add them to the next release. 1.3 Author ---------- If you have suggestions or remarks about this program, or if you find any bugs, please let me know.

Features =========== MM_HandleTicFiles... ... deletes the .TIC-files before they're send to the points ... removes the entries in the flowfiles as well ... is configurable per point/node-number ... supports full 5D addressing and wildcards 3. Installation =============== 1. Copy the files to the related MM:-directories. 2. Make sure you have installed rexxsupport.library in LIBS:. 2. Adjust the cfg to your own needs. 3. Add it as a tickcmd in MM_ImportPlus: #TICKCMD rx MM:Rexx/MM_HandleTicFiles.rexx or to your import-batch or whatever else you use. As you may have seen, there's a second script called "MM_HandleTicFiles.rexx.cmp" included. This is a exacltly the same script as "MM_HandleTicFiles.rexx" itself, except that it was compressed with "CompressRexx v2.1". On slow machines, it might be useful to replace the uncompressed script with the compressed one because it is slightly faster... But please test it first with the uncompressed version, because if an error occurs, finding the error due to error-reports of the compressed script is nearly impossible! There's also included an executable version of the script. This version is compiled with "CompressRexx v2.1" and can be made resident. 4. Usage ======== [RX] MM_HandleTicFiles[.rexx] 5. Configuration ================ 5.1 #(NO)DEBUG --------------- Enables/disables logging of processed flowfiles and deleted tickfiles. Default is #NODEBUG. 5.2 #LIST --------------------- Path and name of the AmigaDOS command 'List'. Default is 'c:list'. 5.3 #NODE
------------------- 5D-address of then node/point that don't want the tickfiles. Wildcards are allowed, but be carefull - You might wipe out every .TIC-file in your outbound directory!!. 6. Theory of operation ====================== MM_HandleTicFiles should normally only be started after you have imported tickfiles. So the #TICKCMD in MM_ImportPlus is a good place to start it. You could also start it in the aftersession, but it's only nessesary to run it when there has been imported tickfiles.. MM_HandleTicFiles searches the flowfiles of the configured nodes/points for entries ending with a ".TIC". These lines will be deleted, and the physical file corresponding to the entry will be deleted as well. This way people who really don't need or want the tickfiles, can avoid spending time and space downloading them. :-) 7. Future ========= Ideas for the future... ... add or remove entries in the cfg-file with commandline options ... option to pack all tick files into one archive ... support for MM_HandleTicFiles in MM_AreaManager :) ... other ideas? Please write to me! 8. Acknowledgements =================== My girlfriend For tolerating me spending too much time with my Amiga, and just beeing wonderful and lovely!
