Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: eRedMan Version 0.9.beta.5


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

This is the third 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 capable of monitoring 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:   Started with the content of the help file
 Changed: Reorganized pipe monitor code once more (This is the 2nd attempt
to try to prevent the loss  of a 2nd job that is written to the pipe
shortly after the previous one (1/10 of a second faster this time)

Known problems and limitations:

* I am still seeing random lockups and/or SYS3175 in PMSPOOL.EXE when
printing from VPC multiple times in fast sequences of 4 or more jobs. This
is under investigation. More feedback is required here (and there was none
up to now regarding this issue).

* 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 2).

Contact me by email in case of problems.
