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.
