Hi Guys/gals,
I figured out how to get apps (esp large ones that take a long time to come up)
to read files from YARN (eg. netscape to read html and winword to read doc
files). Yarn tries to start the apps. When the app is starting, yarn is done
and it removes, taa.aaa, for example. When the app is finally running, it
cannot find taa.aaa!! What you have to do is have metamail call a script that
calls the app followed by the pause command. That's it.
I went through a few of my yarn mailing list email and a few people have
complained this problem through the years with yarn returning but their app
was not able to work correctly. I never saw a resolution to this. Anyways,
this is the reason.
Well finally a resolution. Now I am able to read htm/html and doc files
sent to me.
Thought I would pass on the "secret".
Now, is there an easier way to do this w/o creating a batch file with the
2 lines (application %s and pause commmand).
