Re[2]: [CSCMail-Users] Installation help please

[David P. <dp...@op...>]

Just clarify from my last e-mail the script I was refering
to as the first script I tried was the one from the cscmail
website. Also I assumed that the script had stopped working
because after 20 minutes the dialog box would not redraw
itself and all the processes launched by the script were
drawing zero CPU resources and had been for quite some time.


There are, however, some things maybe you could help me with.

In summary order.

1)     What version of cscmail will the script from cscmail
website attempt to install

2)      Is the script that comes with the version 1.7.9
tarball more recent than the one on the website?

3)      Given that all 3 scripts I have tried (the one form the
CSCmail website, the one with 1.6.1 and the one with 1.7.9)
give me the same result I gather my only option is to
install the HTML::Parser stuff and anything else the script
can't seem to get. So what is CPAN and what files am I
looking for?

4)      Where are the cschtml files available from?

Thanks in advance

David
