I was tinkering with POPPER and can't get it to build -- well, it builds, but won't run, even when built with the old text decks, or with new ones generated with CC. Comparing the old & new MODULEs shows that they look similar but the old one (circa 1999!) is shorter, presumably due to older LE TXTLIBs.
So the question is: has anyone tinkered with it lately? The change I was making (verified by using Pipes to change a copy of the existing MODULE) is to change the message when a client tries to login and the mailbox is already in use. In such an instance, the current POPPER sends back: -ERR Duplicate Session for <user>. The problem with this, for those of us who both use Outlook and POP our mail on multiple machines, is that Outlook takes this response to be a "password failed" response, and puts the password prompt back up. Some experimentation with another POP server shows that it returns: -ERR [IN-USE] account is locked by another session or for maintenance, try again in the same case. While that string was too long to fit in the existing MODULE, the "[IN-USE]" turns out to be (apparently) the key: with that in there, Outlook now reports the error and continues on happily. Any LE experts out there? -- ...phsiii
