| GENERAL DESCRIPTION |
MAILMAN has permission to make the following calls to
VA Fileman:
1. FileMan has a special way of using the XMD interface and it also has
special calls into the XMP series of routines so that it can load INITs
directly into a message during a DIFROM. As such the variable DIFROM effects
that way some of these routines work so that the DIFROM procedure can use them
to enter data and routines reiteratively into messages.
o In the routine XMD, if $D(DIFROM) security keys are not ignored.
o In the routine XMD, if $D(DIFROM) will cause a call to XMD at either tag
EN1 or tag EN2 to quit after text is added to a message, but before the
message is delivered.
o In the routine XMD, if $D(DIFROM) before delivery, security will be added
automatically by a call to XMASEC.
o In the routine XMASEC, if $D(DIFROM) security is forced onto the message.
o In the routine XMP, if $D(DIFROM) the string " (DIFROM)" is added to the
1st line of the PackMan message to show how it was created.
o In the routine XMPH a special prompt is provided where DIFROM loading
into a message causes special help for the programmer.
2. Kernel modules to which this document refers are (even if they are at
some point separated from the Kernel and become independent modules of their
own): FileMan (DI*)
