- Anyone in need of a fast freeware FTP program, get ours from
- sunee.uwaterloo.ca [129.97.50.50] in pub/wattcp/ftp.zip
- It's been tested with a plethora of other systems and has
- features and speed unavailable on the other free FTPs.
-
- Several people have mentioned having difficulty compiling/linking WATTCP
- code. Many more people have written in saying they found no difficulty
- with any of the Borland versions and others found simple solutions to
- what first seemed a difficulty.
-
- The most common solution was to look at the options in *my* makefiles
- (eg. apps/makefile) and copy them, or recompile the libraries with the
- same options you plan to use. But do not mix compiler options, that
- don't work!
-
- The MSC incompatible things mostly stem from slightly different function
- names (eg. bcopy), MSC's broken bitfields (that's why Ping didn't work
- Joe), and MSC's weird un-C-like MK_FP macro. If someone has a spare
- license of MSC 6 or greater and wants to donate it, I will endevour to
- make the source MSC compatible and keep it that way. But I need all the
- manuals and the compiler.
