James Schoner (formerly of Purdue University Computing Center) developed a preprocessor called "ease" which accepts the ease language and produces sendmail configuration files as output. Advantages of the ease language include (but are not limited to) long variable names, a more structured language with function calls, if statements, for loops, /lib/cpp preprocessing of ease files, etc. The readability of an ease file is a big improvement over sendmail cf files. Ease is available as a compressed tar image by ftp'ing to j.cc.purdue.edu and logging in as anonymous/guest. It's in /usr/ftp/pub/ease.tar.Z. If you don't have compress for some reason, it's in /usr/ftp/pub too. If you can't ftp to j.cc.purdue.edu, write "ksb@j.cc.purdue.edu" and we'll try to make other arrangements for you to get it. Also, see the Jan./Feb. issue of ;login: (Vol. 11, #1) for the original paper on ease.
