I have posted a preliminary version of Ease 3.0 to alt.sources. Ease is a high level language for sendmail.cf files. First the Bad News: I am not the original author of Ease. I made extensive modifications to both Ease and Cfc, which is asking for trouble. I also haven't tested it on any operating system other than SunOS and Vax Ultrix. There may be some portability problems and memory leaks. The authors have given me permission to become the keeper of the source. Now the Good News: It supports Sun, DEC, and HP versions of sendmail. It supports 99.9% of the IDA sendmail. You can convert your sendmail.cf file into an ease file in minutes. The translation of Ease back into sendmail is close to perfect. I must have made 150 modifications and enhancements to the previously released version. There are some known problems: 1. The code doesn't work when compiled with the -O flag in SunOS. 2. Don't type "make clean" - 3. Some people have reported problems with MIPS machines. I appreciate any patches and bug reports. With your help, I hope to make this package an indespensible tool. -- Bruce G. Barnett barnett@crd.ge.com uunet!crdgw1!barnett
