[alt.sources.d] Official Ease 3.2 Update/Patch

barnett@grymoire.crd.ge.com (Bruce Barnett) (05/17/91)

I didn't mention it in the patch, but the new files cfstrip.sh and
cfdiff.sh are to be moved into the utils directory.

These scripts were converted from csh into sh, and enhanced. Together,
they can compare two sendmail.cf files after stripping out comments.

There will be another patch - thanks to that one-man tiger team
Jonathan Kamens. I will also send the entire Ease 3.3 to
comp.sources.unix, now that I think I have it stable enough that it
runs on most machines. - Thanks to all!

First of all - don't post questions in the sources newsgroup.
People who archive the sources don't want noise there.


Ease is a companion program for sendmail. If you find the syntax of
the sendmail.cf file hard to read, you can 

	1) convert it into Ease
	2) Edit the Ease version of the sendmail file
	3) "Compile" the Ease verson into sendmail.cf

It also comes with some tools/documentation to help debug/administer
sendmail files.

At this point - Ease supports every variation of sendmail I could
find. If not, there is an asm("...") command for stuffing in raw
sendmail.cf files.

I will send the entire package to comp.sources.unix soon.
Till then, it is in the alt.sources archive.
