Short: Link Amiga to Psion S3/a palmtops
Kurz: Verbindung Amiga mit Psion S3a-Palmtops
Author: owagner@vapor.com
Uploader: owagner@vapor.com
Version: 1.9
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. Includes transparent charset translation feature
and possibility to store icons on the Amiga side for full workbench
integration.
-- 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.
Changes from Release 1.8 to 1.9
-------------------------------
-- fixed the character conversion tables to properly
reflect IBM850->ISO-8859-1 conversion
-- fixed a potential problem in NCP_WaitRead()/NCP_WaitWrite()
-- several small fixes in the Filesystem and Fileserver
-- complete package recompiled with SAS/C 6.57
Changes from Release 1.6 to 1.8
-------------------------------
-- hopefully fixed the lockup bug caused by some race conditions
within the llmac layer.
-- linked with fixed pools.lib to avoid memory loss on OS 2.x
systems.
-- everything recompiled using SAS/C 6.55.
Changes from Release 1.5 to 1.6
-------------------------------
-- did some documentation cleanup
Changes from Release 1.4 to 1.5
-------------------------------
-- added french catalog translation (thanks ed@ramses.fdn.org)
-- added some 8-color MWB icons (thanks phil@dcs.king.ac.uk)
-- everything recompiled using SAS/C 6.55
-- fixed a few quirks in the File System increasing
compatibility with certain Amiga backup utilities.
-- fixed memory usage both in the file server and filesystem.
-- print server now reports printer erros and offers retry.
-- added .cd files for catalog translators (thanks ed@ramses
for the hint ;-)
Changes from Release 1.3 to 1.4
-------------------------------
-- the File System now stores icon files in a special
AmigaDOS subdirectory to allow snapshoting and
backdroping of Psion files and directories.
-- did some user and developer documentation update.
-- major speedup in the conversion routines.
-- fixed several small bugs & quirks.
-- Installation script now compatible with old 1.24
Installer.
-- added catalog translation files.
Changes from Release 1.2 to 1.3
-------------------------------
-- fixed a bug in the FileSystem regarding write request
error handling.
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.
