1 Windows NT 4.0 Porting Status

1.1 Mechanisms on NT4

On NT4, a lot of MTA cannot run programs under MTA. I provide another
methods with POP. FML provides popfml.pl which uses POP3, retrieves a
mail from a mail server, and executes fml.pl. 

See doc/smm/popfml.wix for more details on POP3 and FML. 

I needed several hacks to run fml.pl on NT4 since OS and ntperl have
several differences between UNIX and them. I succeeded running fml.pl
as a progmailer using MetaInfor Sendmail, but you need POP3 hacks to
use FML with other MTA's.

I don't know on cron under NT4. Even today I don't know the details
how I deal perl pgorams on NT4. If you know it, please let me them.


1.2 Historical revies: experiment 1


It looks I and a lot of people succeeded to run fml.pl on NT4 using
POP3. This hack has problems
	error hadnlings
	event handlings (now we  CAN ONLY KILL FML if e.g. time out occurs)
