Boy, I sure thought we had the original distribution - I just re-unpacked them from the original shar files with Andries mail header at the top, but the new version sure bombed when I tried to install. Things like: 1. our rumors file was at least 4 lines shorter than expected so the 'ed' didn't even work. 2. LOTS of files had lines inserted in the wrong place causing some interesting syntax errors. I kind of had a feeling that a diff of this size over the net was going to have problems. Has anyone had success making the changes? We are running System V Release 2.

Well, we are running 4.2 BSD and had similar problems with updating to version 1.0.3: Using the original unpacked files to generate the source files, hack.tty.c and hack.trap.c did not get modified correctly by ed (ed tried to changes lines that did not exist). Also, many other files had multiple syntax errors. Jacob Kjelstrup, ..!homxa!jacobk

I had absolutely no problems installing 1.0.3 on a V7 system (with FLEXNAMES).
It took about 30 minutes. All the source files compiled without problems
after some very minor editing changes to hack.tty.c and hack.ioctl.c. (Other
V7 systems are likely to have more difficulty.) The edit script worked
perfectly on the original 1.0.2 source that I have.

After fetching the original 1.0.2 hack source I just ran the update file through the shell and Voila' 1.0.3.

I also went back to the original postings for 1.0.2, and I found that the upgrade script worked just fine. ( We are running 4.2 on a 780 and Sun's 4.2 version 2.0 on several suns. ) The distressing thing for me is that, under 1.0.3, trying to engrave with '-' causes a segmentation fault every time! I think this is to be considered a LARGE bug. This may be our system, since we have only been running 1.0.3 on the suns so far ( the vax saved games need to last to the end of the month ).

I have also had problems. The author claims that he got it to run on a 3B2. I have yet to compile hack1.0.3 on the 3B5 so that it works properly or compile hack1.0.2 on the 3B5. I have not yet tried to compiler it on the Vaxen (4.2BSD). Furthermore, my versions patched correctly (using the ed script) although I think it would have been better to use context diffs so that I could use the "intelligent" patch program and have it done more easily.

I did have to make a few changes, notably to hack.tty.c, hack.termcap.c and hack.ioctl.c. Most of the mods were just moving modified code from version 1.0.2 over to the new version. I'm not sure who made the mods to get 1.0.2 to run on the 3b2. Also, I'm not about to burden people's phone lines sending out all that source. If someone out there wants to handle distribution, I'll fill a floppy for him, but no more than that.

I somehow missed this update script, and I *thought* I'd been reading
all the important groups for it. If it did not get this far, somehow,
I'd really like to get a copy. If it's my own fault, I'll go UUCP it
from somewhere. If it just did not get here, it probably did not get
to other places and a repost (*gasp*) might be in order.

It isn't due us hacking the sources around, as I restored from our tape archive ('cos Andries said that one needed the ORIGINAL 1.0.2). The date string in date.h was "Mon Apr 1 1985". Is it possible that Andries generated the diffs from a DIFFERENT original 1.0.2? I think we should be told (:-)). Has anyone with the 1 Apr version managed to update to 1.0.3? If so, could they send me (or post) a set of *CONTEXT* diffs? Pretty please? I got some rabid hackers here who expect me to do our 1.0.2 -> 1.0.3 upgrade with the edscripts we received over the net. No way, Jose! Kay. BTW, I think this shows how useful context diffs are....
