[comp.sys.amiga] DNET versions

pyr464@psc90.UUCP (Fred Slama) (12/18/89)

Hello? Testing.. one.. two.. three... Hi. Am am having a rather confusing 
time here trying to install the new version of dnet. Well.. here, have a
look at these two files:


BINARY    35987 89/12/02 pub/amiga4/dnet/dnet210.2.zoo
BINARY    59987 89/12/02 pub/amiga4/dnet/dnet210-upd2.zoo

These are from tolsun.oulu.fi.. dnet210-upd2.zoo has dnet for the amiga
and the unix side, whereas dnet210.2.zoo has it only for the amiga...
Should I assume that "dnet210-upd2.zoo" is the REAL update?

			Any help would be appreciated, Fred

How do you figure out what version of DNET you have?  Someone posted an
inquiry about which of two apparent "update 2"s to DNET is the right one.  I
have a version that doesn't say anythign about updates, far as I can tell,
but I generally distrust keeping that info *only* in the file name.   The
only thing substantive I have with my version of dnet is the following
"version.h" file:

#ifdef LATTICE
#define VERSION 	    "2.10L"
#else
#define VERSION 	    "2.10M"
#endif

#define DNET_VERSION	    ".11"
#define STATDNET_VERSION    ".04"
#define PUTFILES_VERSION    ".03"
#define LOADAV_VERSION	    ".05"
#define FTERM_VERSION	    ".04"
#define QUITDNET_VERSION    ".01"
#define GETFILES_VERSION    ".02"
#define CLITERM_VERSION     ".01"

#define SPRINT_VERSION	    ".01"
#define SGCOPY_VERSION	    ".01"
#define SCOPY_VERSION	    ".03"
#define STERM_VERSION	    ".03"
#define SCLI_VERSION	    ".03"
#define SPASSWD_VERSION     ".01"
#define SNFS_VERSION	    ".01"


Is there enough info there to be able to figure out which version of DNET I
*really* have?  If not, is there some other algorithmic way to compare DNETs?
Thanks.
