From: Louis A. Mamakos <louie@trantor.UMD.EDU> Thought the whole list might be interested in this. Hack is available for anonymous FTP from TRANTOR.UMD.EDU in /info-amiga/hack.[1-13] Date: Tue, 4 Mar 86 13:42:56 PST From: walton%DEImos.Caltech.Edu@Hamlet.Caltech.Edu Reply-To: walton%DEImos.Caltech.Edu@Hamlet.Caltech.Edu Comment: The answer is 42 We have uploaded the HACK files from Trantor using FTP from node HAMLET, followed by transfer to an Amiga using VAX/VMS Kermit on one end and the ATERMK.EXE program from the CompuServe (its in data library 7 of PCS-155 if you're interested). Everything appeared to come over OK, and rather than try to rebuild from source, we attempted to use the ASCII-fied binary files. All of the .info files converted fine, but the executable file in hack.13 consistently gives a checksum error in byte 62,300 something. Have you successfully done this? We only FTP'ed it once, and have not compared what we have with a second FTP or with what one of the Caltech computers received from net.sources. Steve Walton ARPA: walton%deimos@hamlet.caltech.edu Caltech Solar Astronomy BITNET:swalton@caltech.bitnet Physics DECNET: DEIMOS::WALTON UUCP: your guess is as good as mine... I had the exact same problem; the checksum error trying to binify the hack.13 file. I ended up rebuilding hack from the sources. Note that you need to have a file "signal.h" with SIGQUIT, SIGINT, SIGHUP and SIG_IGN defined to something. Louis A.
