If you are interested in staying current with the DOScmd project, and aren't happy with the release granularity, the CVS repository is now available for supping. Some things to note: - I would have used CVSup, but it appears to require most of the Modula-3 runtime, which would be an unecessary nuisance for small users. - The supserver is at the end of a set of slow links. This should not be a problem for most users, as it's not a huge repository. - I usually commit once or twice a day. Supping more often than this won't help you any 8) - CTM appears to be black magic. If anyone out there gets hives using SUP, _tough_. (If you send me a cooked-and-ready-to-eat CTM config I may try it, but don't get too hopeful). The supfile : # Change prefix= to where you want the 'cvs' directory to be. # Change base= to where you want sup to store information about the collection. doscmd release=cvs host=spam.frisbee.net.au hostbase=/home base=/tmp prefix=/tmp delete old use-rel-suffix ---- A quick DOScmd status report, for those that are wondering : There is a serious problem in the way that vm86 services are implemented that leads to DOS programs being able to monopolise the system. In fixing this, we have exposed a number of other problems which need to be corrected before DOScmd will work again. Aside from this, several problems in the redirector have been corrected, and Alexy has prototyped a new screen interface which provides good screen update speeds for fullscreen applications using ncurses; ie. the ability to run fullscreen DOS programs on any colour terminal. Input will shortly be solicited from any DOS programmers who have packet-driver experience, as it should be trivial to provide such a driver with access to a 'tun' network interface, and thus enable any packet-driver-aware DOS program to communicate with the BSD system's network. More advances have also been made with the machine-dependancy abstraction, which should make it possible for us to have DOScmd going again under BSD/OS soon. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.
