WEASEL MIGRATION TOOLS
======================

This directory contains some utilities that can help in migrating
data to the Weasel SMTP/POP3 server.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
DUMPINI

Copy this to the directory containing the file WEASEL.INI (or
vice versa), and then run it.  It produces a text file WEASEL.TNI,
containing a human-readable version of some of the data in the INI
file.  (This version doesn't dump all of the data - the
information about hosts and domains is not included - but it does
dump the username and alias information, which is the important
part for migration purposes.)

You can edit WEASEL.TNI with a text editor, and then use
LOADINI to copy the data back into the INI file.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
LOADINI

This is the partner to DUMPINI.  It takes a text file WEASEL.TNI
as input, and loads the data into WEASEL.INI.  It doesn't delete
any existing entries in WEASEL.INI, although of course it might
modify some or all of them.

For now I haven't prepared any documentation on the format of
WEASEL.TNI, but you can probably work it out by looking at
the format produced by DUMPINI.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
PMMAB

This is a REXX script to extract e-mail addresses from the PMMail
address books.  You run it with a command like
       PMMAB F:\SOUTHSDE\TOOLS C:\DATA
where the first argument is the directory where the PMMail files
ADDR.DB and BOOKS.DB are kept; and the second argument is the
directory where you want the results written.  Both arguments
are optional, and if you leave them out then the program assumes
the current directory.

This means that you should probably copy ADDR.DB and BOOKS.DB
into your current directory; or, alternatively, copy PMMAB.CMD
to your SOUTHSDE\TOOLS directory.

The format of the output is exactly right for copying into
the [Aliases] section of Weasel.TNI.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
POPSCONV

This is a REXX script to migrate usernames and passwords from
IBM's OS2PopS POP server.  It was written by Konstantin Boyandin;
I've tested it, and it seems to work well.  To use it, copy the
file OS2POPS.Users to the same directory as POPSCONV.CMD, and
then run POPSCONV.CMD.

As output, it produces a data file that is exactly right for
copying into the [Users] section of Weasel.TNI.  It also creates
a new command file which you can edit and then run to create
mailbox directories for the new users.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
POPGET

This is a program that fetches mail from a remote POP3 server and
stores it locally.  If you run this program from your Weasel
"mail root" directory then it will store the mail in the Weasel
user directories.  I have written this in REXX to allow you to
modify it according to your needs.  Read PopGet.cmd for the
internal documentation.

   Usage:
           popget hostname user password

           where hostname is the node name of the remote POP3 server;
           user is the username and password is the POP3 password.
