Sponge 0.7 now has adjustable Multifinder wait time and data collection time. Since I just installed System 7.0 on my BBS I found that Sponge was waiting a little too long especially when FileSharing is turned on. (A point was not able to connect) You can edit the times with ResEdit. The times are in the STR# and are in ticks. A tick is 1/60 seconds. The times are now set to 1 second (60 ticks) to wait for other applications to die if under multifinder and 5 seconds (300 ticks) to collect data from the serial port. Oh yeah, it also now has a snazzy icon. (Color too!)
Sponge 0.6.2 now will REALLY still launch the Mailer application if you are in the middle of the netmail event time.
Sponge 0.6 now will still launch the Mailer Application if the NetMail event has passed. In case someone crashes your BBS just before a NetMail event.
Sponge 0.5 adds the ability to change the name of the Mailer. I was mistaken in stating previously that the BBS must be named Second Sight. Version 0.4 works with it named anything, as long as TabbyNet knows what it is named.
Sponge is a utility designed to diagnose a problem between Second Sight and TabbyNet. The problem exibits itself as TabbyNet crashing during a CrashMail event. To use sponge:
1) put it in the same folder as Second Sight.
2) using ConfigEdit set the NetMail application to Sponge instead of TabbyNet.
3) Re Start Second Sight.
NOTE:
If you have changed the name of your Mailer to something different than "TabbyNet", use ResEdit to change it in the STR#. You can also change the MultiFinder wait time and the collection time via the STR#.
