I've now received all 38 parts of the 3.0 sources from comp.sources.games.
All of the files except for 04 and 38 unpacked with no trouble, and those two
had only minor problems.
In part 04:
I got a message which told me that others/Makefile.tcc had unpacked with
the wrong size, and that one control character may be missing. From the
presence of the line about one control character being missing, it looks as
though this is an expected result. So, how do I fix it? Or will it
automatically be corrected when I download to my DOS machine and the file gets
converted to DOS format?
It's the Turbo C makefile, by the way. An explanation would be greatly
appreciated.
In part 38:
The line to concatenate monst.c1 and monst.c2 into monst.c should read:
cat src/monst.c1 src/monst.c2 > src/monst.c
As it arrived, the src directory isn't specified, so the script looks for the
two files in the top directory (and doesn't find them). Probably most people
figured this out for themselves, but I thought I'd mention it just in case.
If you "sh" part 38 as it arrived, it will say that it can't find the two files,
and then remove ark*isdone from the top directory. Then, if you "sh" it again,
none of the ark*isdone files are there, so it won't attempt to make monst.c.
Probably the easiest thing to do is concatenate the two files by hand.
