ELM 2.3 FOR OSK Sat Jul 14 18:07:48 1990
=============== ========================
this is elm 2.3 patchlevel 4 for os-9/68k. it was ported in an 'outburst of
fury' - a fact that can still be looked at in the following source ......
but - it is up and running several weeks here at my site now so i thought
the time has come to post it to the (sub-) net.
in order to compile it, you need:
- a copy of the latest os9lib & 'sh' from top (munich)
- an installed sysinfo system from top (one entry used)
- a copy of the gnu-cpp ported to os-9 (.. i haven't even tried
to compile this with microware's cpp :-) ), perhaps
top's cpp and/or microware's cpp will do it too.
- access to the original elm 2.3 postings at least for the
documentation, which isn't part of this package
- time and memory .....
things touched:
- unix can unlink a file which is currently open, osk can't !
- unix can fork(), guess what os-9 can ....
- different to the original elm 2.3, ALL headers are displayed
by default. if you don't want to see some headers, they have
to be explicitly disabled in elmrc !
- nitty gritty at thousand locations i.e.: /n -> /l, chmod(),
chgrp(), tty i/o, link()/unlink() etc......
- handling of hp-terminals
what you have to do:
- find a kind soul from whom you get the elm 2.3 manuals
- READ THEM !!!
- look at config.h and change it to suit your needs
- look through the files in the 'hdrs' directory ....
- go into the 'src' directory (and the change makefile)
- type 'make' & cross fingers
- .....
- go into the utils directory (and change the makefile)
- type 'make' & cross fingers
- .....
- if you managed to build elm, readmail & newalias in /h0/cmds,
copy the files in the 'helpfiles' directory to /h0/usr/lib/elm
(or whatever directory you have choosen ...)
- type elm & cross fingers
- repeat the cycle until done (don't forget: you have the source !!)
- send bug reports/fixes to me (please !!!!)
there may be ( and are !!) a huge number of bugs in it - you have to
try out yourself.
flames to /dev/null please, comments, improvements & bug-reports welcome !!!
have fun !
