[mh] DSC PC5401 files question

[Bruce E. <bj...@e4...>]

Hi All,

I just had a quick question about Misterhouse 2.102 and the support for the
DSC PC5401 alarm stuff.

After poking around a few days and getting it to run under OSX (an old Mac
G3 tower with non-usb serial ports), I'm sort of stumped on a couple things.

In the "New Features" file for 2.102 it has this:

    - Gaetan Lord and Jocelyn Brouillard created lib/DSC5401.pm,
    code/examples/DSC5401.pl, and web/bin/DSC5401_*.pl for supporting the
    DSC5401.

However after doing a grep on the unpacked directory for both *DSC* and
*dsc*, only these files show up:

./code/public/Danal/DSC_Alarm.pl
./lib/DSC5401.pm
./lib/DSC_Alarm.pm
./web/bin/DSC5401_status.pl
./web/bin/DSC5401_web.pl
./web/bin/DSC5401_web_content.pl
./web/graphics/DSC_5401_DSC.gif
./code/public/dsc_pc5401.pl

If you notice, the DSC5401.pl doesn't exist and at this point I don't think
the lowercase file (dsc_pc5401.pl) is it but mis-named.

There are some archived posts referencing the relationship between the
missing file and the three in the web/bin, which I can't figure out what
those do at all.

The only other reference I found was on:

http://misterhouse.wikispaces.com/DSC5401+PC+interface

Which sort of peters out (unfinished) but had this line...

Also included is this release:
DSC5401_web.pl: This will provide a web interface with zone Status, etc. We
will explain later in this document how to install this file. For the moment
you can copy this file in MH->Web->Bin directory (ex.: /mh/web/bin)

But of course there is no "will explain later".

So if anyone can shed some light on this (where or what is DSC5401.pl), I'd
really appreicate it.

thanks much,

-bruce
