What's the problem with making a loader program for your app that:
1. More work than creating a shortcut, presumably.
Actually, it is a fairly simple program. Mine simply works. It has
gone over nine years without a change. I do not think that I have ever
had to modify it. The code follows. I think that you can figure out the
bits that you need to change.
Thanks Gene. As I said, though, the problem arises when a loader program is
used by another organization, not on my LAN. Then I can't just reference
the "respository" via ADIR(). Well, I could, but then I would have had to
somehow transmit the file to that location beforehand.
In this case I'd need a web URL location for the repository, which requires
communicating over the web, which is a different kettle of fish.
If I didn't do that, then the program would have to fork based on whether
there was a local repository folder or not.
I've thought of doing a loader, but was trying to solve a different problem
(how to access error log files across the LAN) as simply as possible.
And to everyone, in general: I appreciate your input, but I've posed two
specific questions, seeking specific, narrowly defined solutions. I intend
to work within the boundaries of those definitions. So if you don't have
suggestions regarding how to:
1. Create a dynamic shortcut that communicates across a LAN in Windows
or
2. Talk to an SMTP server not using SSL
then you are most likely wasting your time.
Thanks.
