I think it would be fair to say that CMH is trying to make doscmd 'work' in the absolute sense - he has made massive changes to the code and done some drastic cleaning work. It's obviously not practical from his point of view to do that, and try to maintain BSD/OS compatability. The primary goal of the FreeBSD port is, at this point, to get it to work at all 8). Following which, I plan to take Charles' changes and integrate them with the code necessary for BSD/OS and FreeBSD, with perhaps a little help 8) The end result should be portable, and work far better than the current item. All I/we need are some time and more hardware. (I have a box due in today that should, providence willing, be a suitable platform for this work. Now to work out how to weasel out of the two-week training course I'm supposed to be giving 8) > Pace -- ]] 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.
