Search Again: Telnet features... From: Shawn Hogan Date: Tuesday, February 9, 1999 Time: 9:59:22 pm I just spent the last few hours adding some features to telscrpt.exe... 1. You can insert a display function between two commands... So for example, you can have it echo back everything between two commands. (I figured it would be helpful so you can see the result at the end of the add user script). Plus I figured it would be useful if I ever impliment the chkdb function to automatically check the server to see if the account is used. I'll just have it trigger a telnet session with the results of a single command echoed back to the display dialog. 2. The telnetting itself is MUCH faster (10-20 times by just looking at it). Instead of processing the incoming socket data character by character, I have it look to see if there is 512 characters in the receive buffer. If there is, then snag all 512 characters... if there isn't 512, then try 256, if there isn't 256, try 128, etc, etc... Anyway, it's MUUUUUUUCCCCCCHHHHH faster now that it processes it in chunks instead of individual characters... So... anyone want to test it out for me? :-) It's backwardly compatible so all you would have to do is swap the old telscrpt.exe with the new one to try it... I have it working on all the machines I've tried it with, but I figure it would be better to do ao public test... - Shawn ------------------------------- Shawn D.
