Ported tools for Windows NT --
All of the enclosed files, "the software," are provided by
Microsoft Corporation "as is" without warranty of any kind.
MICROSOFT DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY
AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You assume all risks of
using the software.
Portions of the software are Copyright (c) 1992 Microsoft Corporation.
Included are some of the BSD sources, useful compress/decompression tools,
and other tools. Each directory contains a makefile, 'makefile.nt'
which should be used with NMAKE to build the various programs. Most
subdirectories also have a file, 'readme.nt' that describes
the changes that were made in porting and contains other
comments.
If you make changes to the programs -- bug fixes, improvements,
whatever, please send them to me, t-davefe@microsoft.com
so that we don't have a whole bunch of different versions
floating around.
Also, if you have Windows NT specific questions about the programs,
please address them to us at Microsoft, rather than to the
original authors.
UNZIP & ZIP - The versions of ZIP and UNZIP included were the latest
non-beta versions available at the time this group of files was
put together. The InfoZip group is working on new versions of
both programs and would prefer not to have questions about the
Windows NT versions of ZIP and UNZIP addressed to them. So please,
ALL COMMENTS/QUESTIONS REGARDING THE WINDOWS NT VERSION OF
UNZIP SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO THE DEVELOPER RELATIONS GROUP AT MICROSOFT.
PLEASE DO NOT SEND COMMENTS/QUESTIONS REGARDING THE WINDOWS NT VERSION
TO THE INFOZIP GROUP.
CURSES - The version of Curses included is a port of the PCCurses
program. Since the version number is the same as that of the
PCCurses program, I have named the subdirectory NTCURSES
in order to avoid confusion. This is a *working* version of
curses. All of the i/o calls have been implemented using
Windows NT console calls. This version isn't perfect -- it's
still buggy, but you should be able to link it in with
your curses based app and get it to work.
