Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: eRedMan Version 0.9.beta.4


From: Herwig Bauernfeind <herwig.bauernfeindDESPAM at aon.at> 

This is the second public beta release of eRedMan, a pipe redirection 
manager for eComStation and OS/2. It is a general pipe redirection 
utility (like printmon.exe or print2ps.cmd that comes with ePDF). Its 
equivalent in the Windows world is RedMon. 

eRedMan is multithreaded and therefore is able to monitor multiple pipes
and associate one program to a particular pipe and execute it, whenever
data was written to the pipe.

What is new is this beta?

 Added:   A preliminary Help system support
 Changed: Make 9.WarpSans the default font everywhere.
 Changed: Removed all artificial brakes (put in for debugging purposes) 
    in pipe monitor code (this prevents loss of 2nd job if it was written
to 
    the pipe shortly (2 Seconds or less) after the previous one.
 Fixed:   Make sure context menu gets the focus when it is opened (it 
    should work now with a sliding focus feature, too).
 Fixed:   Disallow "Remove" if no pipe configured

Known problems and limitations:

* Printing to a pipe which is associated with GhostScript, that is 
configured to write to LPT1, while VPC is running causes a SYS3175 crash 
in PMSPOOL.EXE. This is under investigation. More feedback is required
here.

* Temporary files are placed into the TEMP directory. eRedMan currently 
has a very primitive cleanup mechanism for leftover files, so you will 
not be able to run this beta for a very long time (weeks or months) 
without restarting it once in a while, depending on the number of  usages.
On a PC that is rebooted daily, this should not be an issue.  Feedback is
appreciated (although there was almost none for beta 1).

Contact me by email in case of problems.
