Hi, Netters
Here's the summary of the minor changes I made to the package of Helmut Michaelis
I hope he agrees with them. The detailed diff output is in patch_2.
What is missing:
shar/unshar from Menu
uudecode/uuencode from Menu
a /h0/usr/lib/elm/rc file to set the pathnames and settings that
are currently defined in config.h and sysdefs.h ( I don't want
to recompile elm, when I change from /h2/ to /h1!)
Bugs/Problems:
Sometimes elm finishes without deleting /dd/tmp/mbox.user
On the next session it stops with a error message, thinking another
elm of the same user is running (and why shouldn't it).
Finding the right combination of header files was a bit tricky for me,
because I have 4 slightly different sources for UNIX like headers.
Let's hope to find somebody for UNIX/OSK library maintainance,
The TOPS package is a good start, but there are some parts missing.
HDRS/defs.h:
new OVERSION Number, function prototypes commented for MW C
HDRS/sysdefs.h
added #ifdef/#endif too avoid MWC warnings
changed "rename" to "mv"
SRC/curses.c
added fflush(), changed write() to fwrite() for faster telnet operation
SRC/makefile
changed for proper opration with MW make
SRC/syscall
no "-c" flag for MW shell
UTILS/arepdaem.c
don't want <fcntl.h>
fixed "if(x=y() == -1)" bug
UTILS/fastmail.c
don't want <sys/timeb.h>
UTILS/from.c
OSK's LINEFEED is 13
check env variables LOGNAME and USER for mail file
no password file check, because 0.0's name is not always "super"
UTILS/listalias.c
don't want <fcntl.h>
UTILS/makefile
fixed dependencies, run's with MW C now
UTILS/newmail.c
OSK's LINEFEED is 13
disabled parent shell check
Error 214 is E_FNA
UTILS/readmsg.c
mailhome has a trailing "/" already (/h0/spool/mail//user doesn't work)
So have fun compiling the package and let's spend our admiration to Helmut
Michaelis in Hamburg, who did the big job. He told me, that he doesn't use
os9 anymore, so don't mail him for problems with the package. If there's
enough interest I'll start porting the newest Version of elm.
ciao
Harry
