David Ball <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on: Sat, 6 Nov 1999 asked: > Just what does ReRead do, pray tell? Here's what I cooked up for the SimTel annonucement/description: --------------------quote:-------------- ReRead - Offline DOS Text Mode mail and file handler An offline reader for all types of straight (uncompressed) mail/news folders, (MAIL.DLU type of Nettamer, Netscape "folders"); handles as well mail/news stored as separate series of files (Netmail Pro). At the same time it is a general text file lister, with hook-ins for editors and decoders. Basic file handling functions allow to use it as a shell for general DOS and "household" tasks in an intuitive way. ReRead uses strictly DOS Text Mode and DOS BIOS I/O standards, thus is speech and Braille friendly, and needs only small memory resources. At the core of ReRead is a comfortable copy/paste/print functionality with flexible target filename buffers, easy switching between targets/ sources and directory tree navigating, hot-key invoking of editors and decoders. Some of ReRead's special features are: FILE TREATMENT: Hook-ins for (external) editors, decoders. Cleaning of misplaced EOF-marks (^Z). FILE HANDLING: Directory listing with adaptable screen layout and point-and-do hotkeys for Sort, Copy, Delete, Edit, Rename, Print e.a. Launching other applications (e.g. a mailer client). File listing. FILE AND MESSAGE LISTING: Any text file - special functionalities for: Mail-news "folders"; integrated expansion of "digest" mails, UUPC e.a. msg. separators; Mail-news file series; "Fuzzy"-format msg. folders and digests; Adaptable display measures; Adaptable wrapping; Character remap on-the-fly for single mail items. MESSAGE AND TEXT HANDLING: Direct reply creation (Nettamer, Netmail Pro format), with quoted lines selection, reformatting. Automatic or free address selection. Linewise copy-paste (or print), with: Highly flexible target selection (point-and-shoot) from editable filename buffers; Configurable hook-ins for, and easy switching in-between, editors and decoders; On-the-fly marking for delete, extract msg.; and Comprehensive indexing services (delete, keep, extract, join-to files, threads). NEW FEATURE ADDED: "URL grabber" to grab a web-site/-page addresses from any text and a hook-in to launch a HTTP client (like HTGET) to fetch it. Special requirements: none - but uses external editor and decoders. -------------------unquote.------------- Welcome.
