Short: Aminet Download Tool 2.5, AmigaOS/ixemul (Miami)
Author: umueller@amiga.net (Urban Mueller)
Uploader: kolla@nvg.org (Kolbjørn Barmen)
Type: comm/tcp
Original readme:
------ 8< --------
This is a tool that replaces the 'ftp' command for downloading Aminet
software.
To compile this source, type
sh adt.c
at your UNIX prompt.
The tool is pretty much self-explaining. Press ? at any prompt to get
more help.
------ >8 -------
Since some time ago the old amiga compiles of adt for amitcp and AS225
started hanging on various aminet servers, so I got desperate enough to
try compile the brand new adt.c with my geekgadgets. I soon discovered
that adt.c had a most useless AmigaOS mode, exlcuding all networking.
After mocking about with stupid "#ifdef AMIGA" settings, I managed to
get it going by removing the network restrictions in the #ifdef AMIGA,
have makedir(x,y) set to mkdir(x,y) (and not mkdir(x)!) tossing all
the needed includes in just infront of the TCP bit. Oh, and ofcourse
I use ncurses and no old curses/termcap mambojambo or curser screen.
And wow, it compiled!
The freaky thing is that it also seems to work, I now have adt running
in my amigashell, just like I always wanted it to :)
Compiled and runs on: A3000/060/OS3.5/ixemul48.0/MiamiDx0.9m
To Urban and Matthias or whoever that maintains the adt.c source, please
clean out the source so that it compiles *with* networking also in AmigaOS,
out of the box, pretty please with sugar on top!
Many thanks to CStar for showing me the true art of
porting/debugging dirty GNU C code to AmigaOS :)
