By: Jay Ruyle Version: 1.4▀
Introduction:
------------
Well as you all know DLG does not update WaitingMail.Dat for users
to reply to messages that use Alias Names. AliasLink does just that.
Requirements:
------------
o DLG/OS 0.995+
o libs:dlg.library
o The following assigns and directories:
DLGConfig:Misc/
MAIL:
Installation for the first time:
-------------------------------
1 ) Put AliasLink into DLG:
2a) Put "DLG:AliasLink" it into DLGConfig:Batch:Logout.DLGBatch
2b) Or set it up as an event once a night.
--------------------------------------
*Updating an from a previous version:*
--------------------------------------
OS2.04+
-------
1)Delete Mail:#?/ALink.Ptr
OS1.2-OS1.33
------------
1)Manually go through all and delete all ALink.Ptr files from your
MAIL:### directories, AliasLink would only make these pointers in
specified directories in the file DLGConfig:Misc/AliasLink.cfg!
BOTH
----
2)Warn users that old messages will be re-tagged. In case it did work
before for some users.
3)Make sure you have run AliasIndexer before!!!
Versions:
--------
1.00-1.15▀ - Eric Bueckner's versions before I took over (1992)
o CodeSize = 14432
1.2 - Updated and fixed the bug with the last message in an
area being tagged twice. And now follow Commodore's
way of handling versions [1.0..1.1..1.11..1.99...1.100]
1.3 - Added dlg.library routines in.
1.32 - One of the routines was being called incorrectly,
and cuasing the Alink.Ptr to get bigger and bigger.
NOTE: I left the Commodore version method.
1.4▀ - Beta Version - Alot of people have had problems(crashes)
with AliasLink, I was unable to find the problem, so I
revamped all of AliasLink! I mean none of the code from
previous versions even are this GOOD and this SMALL!
o Alias.PTR are now handled as binary files!! Please delete
all the ASCII VERSIONS! OR YOU WILL GET A CRASH (will be
fixed in final release)
o '-v' option removed, might be added later, if you want
more verbose output, bother me!
o Buffers in the complete config file into memory instead
reading it from a file buffer.
o CodeSize = 5836
1.5 - Bug fix version
o 2 library functions were being called before the actual
library was opened. Would cause a system crash if
AliasLink was called with any options (ei. AliasLink -i)
2.0 - Final Version
o Updated text information in AliasLink
o CodeSize = 5760
2.1 - Bug Fix
o AliasLink wrote the address in memory of the message
pointers and not the pointers themselves.
