[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] I need elvis binary part04/04 + other questions.

atschnei@vlsi.waterloo.edu (Todd Schneider) (11/08/90)

Three questions:

1. Can some kind person please send me part 4 of the elvis
   binary. It didn't make it to this site.

2. Does anyone know where I can get a BINARY or ANSI C source
   for a Unix compatible version of compress/uncompress?
   I have already found the source for a version on simtel, but
   it's partially written in assembler and I don't own masm. I've
   checked all of the usual places.

3. Where can I find a program that will do what file completion
   does on Unix? (i.e. completes the name of a file when
   the escape key is pressed if given enough letters.)

   Thanks.

Here's an idea for ya: Get A86 (downloadable from all the usual places)
and see if it can do the MASM part of compiling COMPRESS.  It would be a
good test to see if it works, since Mr. Isaacson claims pretty complete
compatibility with MASM, as well as with the calling of MASM from HLL
compilers.  I'd be interested to know how this comes out, since my
results have been somewhat mixed on this head.
