Andreas' Linux Programs

This is a new version of my editor EDI. It runs on Linux 2.x:    edi.tgz

I own a Tuxedo Book BC1506: Here are some hints how to install openSUSE leap 42.3 on this computer:BC1506andSUSE.html
I often want to send one or more files by e-mail, controlled by a batch. That's why I modified the base64-encoding program into my "makemime". It is a command-line tool which can be invoked by the following command line:

makemime <sender> <recipient> <topic> <filename1> [<filename2> [<filename3>...]]

It creates a base64-encoded e-mail with a simple header based on the first 3 arguments, and one or more attachments containing the files. The output is stdout, so it has to be redirected or piped, e.g.
makemime fax-server@server.mydomain.com operator@mail.mydomain.com "new fax" /tmp/faxfile.tif | sendmail -t
If there is only one filename preceded by a - sign, input is read from stdin. The filename is used to give the attachment a name.
Here is the source code:makemime.c
