From: Herwig Bauernfeind

This is the next public beta release of eRedMan, a pipe redirection manager for eComStation and OS/2. It is a general pipe redirection utility (like printmon.exe or print2ps.cmd that comes with ePDF). Its equivalent in the Windows world is RedMon.

eRedMan is able to monitor multiple pipes and associate one program to a each pipe and execute that program, whenever data was written to the pipe.

What is new in this beta? Quite a lot.

+Added: GhostScript Printer Assistent to help users when setting up a GhostScript driven PostScript printer queue for a non-PostScript printer.
By doing so you will (probably) be able to overcome printing problems with OpenOffice for OS/2.
+Added: Optionally detach programs (and thus run them invisibly in the background)
+Added: Intelligence to help user when configuring eRedMan with ePDF.
+Added: /SETUP:ePDF switch to configure eRedMan automagically for ePDF.
+Added: /MAKEOBJ switch to create an eRedMan object in the startup folder.
*Changed: Added a lot of stuff to the help file (so finally it should be useful).

Known problems and limitations:

* Usage in conjunction with VPC is still problematic, although not as serious as it was with previous releases. This is under investigation.
More feedback is required here.

Feedback is appreciated. Contact me by email in case of problems.
