-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.10 of SendYes! is now available. See the excerpt from the
CHANGES.TXT file below for info on what's new.
SendYes! is a small utility to automatically close DOS and OS/2
windowed/full-screen text sessions. It works by intercepting the
confirmation dialog displayed by OS/2 whenever a text session is
closed by the user and clicks the 'Yes' button for you.
IMPORTANT NOTE! -- SendYes! has a new maintainer now. Please direct
all comments and questions to:
Christian Langanke, Germany
Internet: cla@oerag.de
You can download SendYes! via ftp from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu. Look for:
/incoming/sndys110.zip (currently)
or /os2/wpsutil/sndys110.zip (when properly checked-in to archive)
or /os2/unix/sndys110.zip (if maintainer puts it in the wrong
place -- AGAIN)
>From the CHANGES.TXT file:
Key to reading changes.txt file:
* Information
+ Bug fix
= Change
Version 1.10 by C.Langanke (Oct 13, 1995)
* source not shipped anylonger,
but I email source on request.
= compiled with IBM C Set++ V2.
No need for emx runtime anylonger.
= command line parameters
- parameter /? or /Help pops up a brief help
- parameter /Close closes active sendyes session.
If SendYes is not active, you will receive an error msg box.
- parameter /Batch surpesses msg boxes and generates
notification/alarm sounds instead
- parameter /Switchlist creates a switch list
equivalent to /S in SendYes! V1.00
- specifying the first letter of the parameters is
sufficient, so /C and /CLOSE is equivalent
- the parameters are case insensitive,
so parameters /CLOSE, /Close and /close are equivalent
- the switch character preceding the parameters can be '/' or '-',
so parameters /CLOSE or -close are equivalent
= an error msg box popup or error alarm is brought up, when
- sendyes is already active
- sendyes cannot be properly initialized
- sendyes is not active when to be closed with parameter /C
- an invalid parameter was specified
= a info msg box popup or notification alarm is brought up, when
- sendyes is closed successfully with parameter /C
+ only message boxes with messages beginning with "This message
may contain an active program." are now closed. This prevents
sendyes from closing ANY message box with MBID_YES, like it did
before! SendYes! reads the apropriate message out of the PM
resources, so it is language neutral. Unfortunately the message
used for closing OS/2 Fullscreen sessions is slightly different
in the second sentence, so the message is only compared up to
the end of the first sentence.
I hope that this will stay compatible with future versions
of OS/2 and is really compatible with all different language versions
of OS/2. To test it out:
Use TESTALL.CMD to bring up all four kind of sessions and close them
with sendyes active:
if they close well without confirmation boxes, everything is fine.
If not, please email and tell me so...
