This is the CTDL-handler. This version also comes with a new program
called Reciever. Reciever is a door monitor program that will allow
you to capture the output of the current door session or just display
it in a window.
CTDL-Handler:
To install, just copy this into the L: directory. You will have to
reboot for it to take effect. With 2.1 or higher OS you can remove
the previous handler with "assign ctdl-aux: dismount", and then
a mount command to re-mount it.
CLI base programs can be run as doors by re-directing the output
and input to ctdl-aux:
Door >ctdl-aux: <ctdl-aux:
is a simple example.
Reciever
This program will not do any special formating of the door I/O. It
will just output it to the current window. This program has several
options:
Control-F - Toggle the file save option on/off. The program will
display a status message. The filename is "save.aux".
Control-D - Toggle the debug mode. This is mostly for my use and
generates alot of messages in addition to the regular
door output.
Control-E - Exit, The port is closed, and so is the save file if
Opened. This will only occur when the port is empty
of messages.
I recommend that you run RECIEVER with a higher priority than the
door program since that will keep it running at the maximum possible
speed. If you do not, the messages from the handler, may back up
enough on your system that you could run out of memory. The aux handler
will queue up messages until you run out of memory and then throw
them away until it can allocate buffers. This would mean some of your
information would be lost. If at a higher priority, RECIEVER can
keep up with no problem.
I recommend that you use this handler and if a problem occurs, try to
use it to capture the result to a file. This will allow the door problem
to be debugged alot easier.
