[HECnet] Zaphod down for a few days

[Sampsa Laine]

WOO HOO. It actually sort of works. I've managed to tie into the <PROTOCOL>% handler with a couple of hundred lines of C code that I modified from what I was sent and the MAIL program quite happily produces XML output.

Now all that's left to do is to write a little python script to pull down the files from the outbound directory, convert them to Fidonet format and place them in the outbound directory of my Fido mailer.

Happy days.

I am a very very happy bunny: A friendly guy on c.o.v. (called Jan Erik Soderholm) provided me with source code that does pretty much exactly what I want (well listens to a <protname>% thing from mail and does something with it).

And it's in C, so I won't be entirely lost.

I think I'll be able to knock out something resembling a working bit of code within a pretty short period of time.

Get ready to be on Fidonet guys!

I will take a look at this mail_routines documentation - it's not immediately obvious to me how to write the library with the relevant entry points. As others seem to point out it's rather undocumented - you wouldn't have any old code lying around would you Bob? :)

I'd recommend asking such questions on comp.os.vms rather than here.   Better
to hit a much wider audience.
