- Hi!
-
- I've just (as of this morning) got all the various bits and bobs working
- enough for an alpha release. I know of several bugs which need to be
- fixed, and it's not incredibly stable, but it works reasonably well. It
- hasn't screwed up my hard disc yet anyway ;-).
-
- Since it's for linux, which is a very GNUey thing, I'm distributing it
- under the GPL, so the downloadable thing includes the source code.
-
- Many appologies for the source code BTW. I wanted to get this project
- done quickly, so I just hacked at it rather than trying to program it
- prettily. As a result, the source code looks like the result of a small
- nuclear detonation, but it compiles up with no warnings, so that's good
- enough for me ;-).
-
- I've put ExeterFS on my web page - it's pretty near the top and the
- binary is about 80-odd k. It's in Dicottery format (explained on the web
- page) so set the filetype of the archive to Absolute (ff8) and
- double-click on it. It'll decompress via a save box.
-
- Anyway, I'll probably do a bit of debugging on it over the week (although
- I'll be spending lots of time on uni work, which I've neglected
- recently), and hopefully get something a bit more stable before too
- long. Thanks everyone who's helped, especially Matthew Wilcox, James
- Craig and David Waring.
-
- Bye for now,
- Phil
