OK, I was reading the net earlier today, and I saw once again a request for EXECUTIONER to be modified to use something other than a '.' to start a packed line. As it is, I decided to use a '#'. The reason for this is that it is a standard character for a comment, and as far as I know all mailers allow this character through, as well as not acting on it. If I am wrong, then let me know and I will give you a one byte patch to change the character to anything your little heart desires. The reason I didn't post a one byte patch this time is twofold. A) I know people are going to want EXECUTIONER posted again, so why not post one now with a patch? B) To show that indeed the posting could be assembled. Now, granted, I spend an hour modifying the posting to assemble, which for some reason got munged. If you wish to assemble that posting, you must selectivly change all {space}{space}; sequences to a single space. Then look for all the macros and make sure that there is *no* space between the variables. I.e.: macro var1;var2 Finally, change the "uses /hard/merlin . . ." to whatever. If you have all of merlin, you will have sendmsg.s. Oh, and remove the '#' in the line that is labelled LINSTART. And remove the rest of the line that says ***merlin format*** or whatever. It's funky. Since Glen Brendon wrote Merlin Pro, he's probably got a suped up version that is nicer than the rest of ours. My next posting will have the execable.
