- WGET/Windows 1.5.3.1
-
- This compile was created on July 1, 1999. The executable
- will run on all Windows 95 and Window NT machines.
-
- It was created from the wget version 1.5.3 source bundle.
- You will need to find the tarball wget-1.5.3.tar.gz if you
- want to compile this code. The files in this zip are the
- ones that have been changed for the windows compile.
-
- Source is in the tar.gz file. All known windows related source
- changes had been merged into the base code when wget 1.5.3 was
- released. This version has one change that allows retrieval
- of URLs with '?' or '*' in their name (those characters are
- replaced by the '@' character).
-
- NOTE: This is relatively untested, and some other
- functionality may have been broken with the addition of
- this capability. Any such 'damage' will not affect wget's
- operation for URLs that do not contain these two characters.
-
- For compiling with watcom, the config.h.watcom file is needed
- (mistakenly excluded from the main distribution). The
- Makefile.watcom in the ZIP is slightly different from the one
- included in the tar.gz file. The url.c/url.h and version.c
- files include changes required from the 1.5.3 source bundle
