'MSG:FROM: ESC1457 --ESOC TO: INFO-ATA--EXTERNAL 89-11-15 13:45:52 To: INFO-ATA--EXTERNAL From: Coenen, Jean-Pierre Subject: TCP-IP status (?) Hi all, I have downloaded from SIMTEL20's archives the KA9Q package, some basic features doesn't seem to work properly though. System in use 520 ST 1 Meg first ROM (0.19), SH205 (20 Meg). The problem is in the file interface, that is in the filename built using sprintf, the PC use a slash and the atari should use a backslash (ie. doubled in fmt string of sprintf). As the system was crashing quite a bit when trying to get a smtp between the ST and a PC, I transferred the sources and it appears that both NET and BM used the same sprintf structure. Now I have the prospero C (Pascal and FORTRAN also BTW and I like their compatibility, documentation and user friendly interface) and hacked the BM sources to have it to work properly (filename) it ... worked as I do not want to hack the NET sources I was wondering if it was possible to have a more useable version for the ST. (BTW I zapped the run time modules trying to change in the code the slash in double backslash ... guess what ... Bombs 8-).Any help would be greatly appreciated. J.P.
