Short: Link Amiga to Psion S3/a palmtops
Author: o.wagner@pluribus.wupper.de
Uploader: o.wagner@pluribus.wupper.de
Version: 1.2
Type: comm/misc
Long:
AmigaNCP is a implementation of the Psion link protocol which is e.g.
built into the Psion S3/S3a palmtop's ROM. It's main purpose is to provide
vice-versa nfs-like file access.
AmigaNCP features:
-- the "amigancp.library" providing all the network I/O functions.
-- the AmigaNCP-FileServer providing transparent access to Amiga files from
the Psion side with optional on-the-fly character conversion.
-- the AmigaNCP-FileSystem providing transparent access to Psion files from
the AmigaDOS environment.
-- a print server allowing to print directly from your Psion to a printer
connected to your Amiga.
-- full developer documentation and associated material to faciliate NCP
services from within your own applications.
AmigaNCP requires:
-- AmigaOS 2.04 or better (localization supported).
-- the IBM-PC version of the 3-Link cable.
The installation script might fail with old versions of the Installer
utility. If you face errors upon installation, obtain Installer_125.lha from
the AmiNet.
Changes from Release 1.1 to 1.2
-------------------------------
-- fixed a bug in the FileSystem which caused a 80000003 guru
on 68000-only machines.
Changes from Release 1.0 to 1.1
-------------------------------
-- fixed a major bug in both the FileServer and FileSystem:
both called upon exec.library/CreatePool() et al for
memory management; since the pool functions are
severly broken in the AmigaOS 2.x release, this lead to
undefined behaviour and possible crashed on 2.x systems.
Now the link version of the pool functions are embedded
in "amigancp.library" to ensure proper behaviour.
Changes from Release 0.10beta to 1.0
------------------------------------
-- fixed broken Installer script (still used "ncp.library" instead
of "amigancp.library")
-- fixed character conversion bugs in both the file server
and file system.
Changes from Release 0.9 to 0.10 (beta)
---------------------------------------
-- library is now named "amigancp.library" to avoid problems with
an already existing, similary named library.
-- fixed several reconnection problems which mainly occured when
the Psion auto-powered off.
-- now correctly handles filenames with non ASCII characters.
-- fixed several file system problems, esspecially with
Examine()/ExNext().
-- fixed bugs in the file server which caused data trashing on
large files.
(see "Docs/History" for more information on changes)
=== Obtaining updates: ===
Internet:
New releases will be put on AmiNet and on the Psion Internet archive on
src.doc.ic.ac.uk. You might also try FTP to 193.100.177.96
(pluribus.wupper.de), but this is currently a dialup link only and
therefore generally down.
