- I have ported and uploaded the following to raven:
-
- 1) pax/tar/cpio. This includes source and a 32-bit binary. My tests show that
- this 32-bit version works in cases where the 16-bit pax/tar/cpio included with
- Coherent 4.0 fails. Obviously, this 32-bit binary is only for Coherent 4.0.
-
- 2) rn version 4.4.4.1. This is a port of the popular newsreader. This program
- is too big for Coherent 3.x so only 4.0 users can run it, unless someone wants
- a big job in paring the code segment down by half. Tested with Wnews 3.1. Gnu
- make and sed may be required to recompile rn.
-
- 3) f2c for FORTRAN 77. This is a public domain release from AT&T (see the
- license included for details). This program is much too big for Coherent 3.x.
- Gnu bison is required; gnu sed and make may also be required. Library source
- (for FORTRAN) is also included.
-
- Please let me know if (when ;-) you find any bugs. Send bug reports, fixes and
- suggestions to me ASAP (especially pax/tar/cpio since we need it for backups!).
