Thanks to Nathaniel for providing the insight into the UnScribe routines
I've been waiting for. I re-wrote his code a bit, turning it into even
a simpler program, that just unscribes (called ez2text). Now it's easy
to wrap in a shell script, to do what ezview does, and even more (mine
sets up the CLASSPATH, and defines LD_LIBRARY_PATH, etc.). Enjoy.
Imakefile:
======================================================================
OBJS2 = ez2text.o
CFLAGS = -Bstatic
LIBS= ${BASEDIR}/lib/libmail.a ${UTILLIB}
NormalObjectRule()
ProgramTarget(ez2text, ${OBJS2}, ${LIBS} , )
DependTarget()
InstallProgram(ez2text, ${DESTDIR}/bin)
C code:
======================================================================
#include <stdio.h>
#include <mail.h> /* from andrew distribution */
#include <sys/file.h>
/* Compile this with cc -I$ANDREWDIR/include ez2text.c
$ANDREWDIR/lib/libmail.a $ANDREWDIR/lib/libutil.a -o ez2text */
main(argc, argv)
int argc;
char **argv;
{
struct ScribeState ScribeState;
int bytes, code, fd;
char BigBuf[5000];
if (argc < 2)
{
fprintf (stderr, "Usage: ez2text filename\n");
exit(1);
}
fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY);
if (fd < 0)
{
fprintf (stderr, "ez2text: Couldn't open file %s.\n", argv[1]);
exit(-1);
}
code = UnScribeInit("12", &ScribeState);
while ((bytes = read(fd, BigBuf, sizeof(BigBuf) - 1)) > 0) {
UnScribe(code, &ScribeState, BigBuf, bytes, stdout);
}
UnScribeFlush(code, &ScribeState, stdout);
close (fd);
exit(0);
}
