usenet@delrio.cc.umich.edu (Usenet News) (11/16/87)
Howdy folks. Just letting you know what I've got here on umix.cc.umich.edu...
Note that I'm going to be moving to a new job relatively soon, and I suspect
it'll take me some time to move these archives with me... Please - if you can
fill in the holes that have cropped up, send me mail!
I'm looking into setting up an exchange with the folks at UOGUELPH, who
apparently take care of the CANADA01 server (?) on Bitnet. Eventually the
University's big IBM mainframe is going to be connected directly to Bitnet,
so things may be easier then, but for now, Bitnet connectivity is a real
hassle, so the less I have to deal with it, the better.
Other notes... The termcap file recently posted to the comp.sources group
has a slight error - the entry for 'st52l' has the wrong definition for
the 'cm' cursor motion sequeunce. The entry for the 'st52' is correct,
just look for the 'cm' definition and make the st52l entry match the st52
entry... (Sorry about that, I was still messing around when I sent that
to Turner...)
Also, the version of termcap that's linked into the larn executables now
seacrhes along the path for the termcap file, as well as in the current
directory and in \etc on the current drive. There's a routine named fopenp
that I stuck into the termcap source files; it more properly belongs on
its own, so it can be linked into other programs... (fopenp stands for
'fopen on path'...)
Has anyone tried out Larn yet? I left out a small routine in the posted
version... In the sources, this is in tok.c, the flushall() routine. Since
I knew nothing about how the TOS calls worked at the time, I left flushall()
to be just a NOP. This is the routine that flushes the input buffer,
to prevent you from doing something you'd regret should the situation
change drastically between the time you filled the buffer and the time
the command gets processed. It *should* be something like:
(at beginning of tok.c)
#ifdef GEMDOS
#include <osbind.h> (in addition to what's already #included...)
#endif
(at definition of flushall - this should replace the line '#ifndef GEMDOS')
#ifdef GEMDOS
while (Cconis())
Cnecin()
#else
The index for the binaries follows, with the sources next, and finally a list
of the things I've picked off the comp.sys. group... Also note, only parts 1-3
of the Larn sources were posted to the binaries group, and then the complete
sources were posted to the sources group. Looks like Turner was so eager to
get it out the door after all this time that he made a slip-up... }-)
I've linked the entry in the archive directories so the source ARC file is
present in both the binaries and sources directories. Also I'm putting my
copies with the above fix in, as opposed to the actual posted material.
(But I *have* successfully decoded and extracted what Turner posted, so don't
worry about that! I've decoded and tested everything that's been posted, when
possible. Having only a monochrome monitor, well... Whatever.)
Well, there'tis. So far, it seems people have been reasonable in their use, as
in only trying to connect during off hours. Thank you for your consideration.
As my new job situation sorts itself out, I'll be bringing more stuff online
from the older editions of Info-Atari (as snatched from Ravi Subrahmanyan...
Thanks again, Ravi!). And again, if you see holes in these lists that you
can help fill, drop me a note, eh?
