TELEREAD SYSTEM: 1. The kernel of this system is the two file TELEBATCH.COM and TELEREAD.EXE. The TELEBATCH.COM file is submitted to a batch queue. It then allocates the TT device that will be used to dial out to the TELEMAIL system. The list of devices is taken from the TELEPORT.LIS file which is a formatted file containing a list of ports and the type of modem attached to each port. The TELEREAD.EXE file is then executed and it uses a script file to determine which TELEMAIL accounts to log into, and determine if any newmail exist. Once the TELEREAD program is done reading all the user accounts, it then processes any new mail found, and sends it to the end user. The TELEFAIL.COM program is provided in case the TELEBATCH or the TELEREAD program should somehow fail, and leave many logfiles still outstanding. PRSETMAIL.EXE and SYMFIND.EXE are used to process any mail found by the TELEREAD program. PRSETMAIL breaks up the logfile generated by the TELEREAD program into individual data files for sending to the end user. SYMFIND assist in determining if any error conditions existed while the particular users mail was being read. If any errors did occur, then the SYSTEM is informed. The TELEREAD.COM file is used by individual users who do not wish to release their username and password to the SYSTEM, but rather run the TELEBATCH routine themselves. This allows them to maintain their own script file and to activate the TELEBATCH routine whenever they require it to be run. ================================= Another routine used by the TELEREAD system is the RFMTMAIL.EXE file located in the SENDTELE system directory. This program is actually the REF.EXE program provided with the latest version of VAXNET. I renamed the file, so that the TELEMAIL environment had a consistent program located where it would not get confused.
