- Hi and happy new year to you all,
- I have received several mails regarding a version 2.0 of VMSTAR. Since
- I've been away from Info-VAX lately (our Bitnet connection has been
- closed down and we won't be on Internet until mid February) it seems
- that I have missed an announcement. I don't know who has made this V2.0
- of VMSTAR but it's *not* me. I see no problems about someone else
- releasing an improved version of the code (after all, I didn't write it
- myself from scratch) but I'm sorry, I cannot help for versions post V1.6
- of VMSTAR, which is the latest version I have released. I was planning a
- V1.7 version fixing numerous bugs and adding
- some new features (GNU C compliance, support of angle brackets for
- directory specifications, improved buffering for faster I/Os, especially
- to/from tape) but I will more probably sumbit the changes to whoever has
- released V2.0 (I'b be happy to get a mail from him/her, however) so
- that a single version of the code exists.
- From a bug report I received from Jerry Leichter (yes Jerry, that test
- is definitely silly, but *I* did not write it!, the test in VMSTAR V1.6
- is "if (inbytes == 0 && nbytes != 0)") it seems that VMSTAR V2.0
- is *not* based on the
- most recent code I released (V1.6), which is probably bad news for the
- integration of the two threads of code.
- By the way, please take note that my EARN/Bitnet address
- FAUCONNE@FRSIM51.BITNET *no* *longer* exists. Until we are on Internet,
- I can be reached on my guest account at CNAM, either at
- fauconnet@vcnam.cnam.fr or at fauco@cnam.cnam.fr
