[comp.sys.acorn] info server: lots of new goodies available

Albert.Koelmans@newcastle.ac.uk (Albert Koelmans) (12/20/90)

I have added a large number of utilities, including many GNU ports, to the
Newcastle info server archive. Please note that most consist of sources only,
so without a C compiler you will not find this stuff very useful.

I received this stuff on a set of discs from Graham Toal (thanks Graham), and
the packages are in exactly the same format.

Below is the appropriate entry into the index file.

Enjoy.

Wrong! Unless I slipped up somewhere, one of the disks has a directory Library
on it with all the compiled versions; also a directory Lib with the object
of the Unix emulation library.

You're welcome, but the credit goes to Paul Moore <gustav@tharr.uucp> --
I just passed the discs on.  Paul ported all the software.  An amazing
amount of effort -- it came up in conversation that he had ported so much
software he couldn't remember everything he had done :-)

Merry whatever festival you prefer,

Graham

I see you mention this 'unix library' - it was also mentioned in the
posting of nethack I believe - does this include a curses - it seemed
to as nethack had a termcap file. I'm desperately searching for
a curses that is NOT just for direct screen drive (eg PC-curses)
but a *real* curses for online use with ANSI & VT100 terminals at
the very least. Ideas?
