Network Trace for OS/2 - Turn any OS/2 machine into a network probe. - Take a trace on any segment in the network, in minutes. - A software-only, hardware-independent implementation. http://www.goldencode.com/ntrace.html ********************************************************************* Source: Don Hawkinson (dwhawk@southwind.net) Moderator: Trevor Smith (trevor@haligonian.com) ------------------------------------------------------- I have uploaded dhfilt01.zip to Hobbes. It can be found at: http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/util/misc/dhfilt01.zip This update adds the filter XFWRD3.EXE to the package. Have you ever received an email message that has some information worth saving, but has been mangled by mutiple forwarding and various windows based email programs? You could load the message into your favorite editor and manually edit the text, but why bother when you can use one or all of my text filters to fix most problems caused by email programs. Filters are system utilities that intercept data from the standard input device (STDIN), process it, and send it to the standard output device (STDOUT). Filters can be used with a pipe. XFWRD.EXE is a simple filter that removes all ">" characters at the start of a line. It only removes the ">" characters at the start of a line and stops when any other character is found. XFWRD3.EXE is a simple filter that removes all single ">" characters and the string " >" at the start of a line. It stops when any other character is found. XFORM.EXE is a simple filter that removes the new line characters from lines that are more than 1 character long. Thus it will turn each paragraph into one long line suitable for importing into a program that provides word wrapping. XNEWS.EXE is a filter that attempts to remove MIME formatting characters, "smart quotes" and other "smart" formatting characters that are left in text that was created or modified using Microsoft products. I wrote the programs to use with my Command line Clipboard Access (CCA) utilities which are command line programs (fclip2 and toclip) that provide access to the OS/2 clipboard. You can find out more about CCA on my web page at: http://www2.southwind.net/~dwhawk/clipboard.html You can find a trial version of CCA on my web page at: http://www2.southwind.net/~dwhawk/share.html Don Hawkinson , author of CCA, DH-Grep-PM, PMStripper, Pastry Box, and DH_ClipSave/2 http://www2.southwind.net/~dwhawk dwhawk@southwind.net ------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ -------------------------------------------------------
