[comp.sys.atari.st] status of Gulam

pmateti@crimson.wright.edu (Prabhaker Mateti) (11/14/89)

Over the past two years, I have recd several enquiries about
improvements and bug fixes to Gulam.  To all those, and the many
others who found it useful and said so: I am grateful.

I would like to release a corrected version.  The question of "when"
is governed by two factors. One is that I no longer use ST on a daily
basis.  Two, I have not seen "correct" solutions to the many problems
attributed to Gulam (such as the one re stdin/out redirection).  I
would like to recv "capsules" of solutions to such problems.  Bugs
caused strictly by the internals of Gulam are, of course, mine to fix.

Meanwhile, if there are others who have "fixed" Gulam, I have no
problem if they post the binaries of such versions.  I still hold the
copyrights to the original src, and I am not giving permission to post
the src.  Authors of modifications, of course, do NOT need my
permissions to post their mods (either in src or as binary patches).

The src of Gulam is available, as always free of cost, to individuals.
However, having seen public comments by some who recd the src, I will
be selective in who I will send the src to.  It is not an easy program
to understand without the design documentation, which I am not yet
ready to release.
