BBGopher/amiga 0.1 (15.4.95)
First beta release to David Cook at Terminal Edge BBS for testing.
This version compiled alright using SAS/C and the appropriate AmiTCP
net.lib. A few functions were not actually in the executable though,
which meant it didn't actually work. It did, but anything that used
the un-included functions would not work of course, because they were
not there.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BBGopher/amiga 0.2 (16.4.95)
Attempted to find the appropriate missing UNIX functions that weren't
included. Also did a few enhancements that were suggested by Dave.
One enhancement was the clear screen at the beginning of execution.
Added a version string to the executable to denote the program version.
Dave also suggested that I convert this into a CNet C program. Well,
I would LIKE to do that, but it's a bit more work than just INSERTING
it in the proper CNet source code. Many of the prompts would have to
be re-written to use the CNet prompting code. I will probably start
having a go at this soon enough though. Maybe I will wait for the
3.50 release though, since Ken claims much will be different. :(
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BBGopher/amiga 0.3 (18.4.95)
Hah -- I actually took a day off from coding and played around with
NetBSD. UNIX is exciting stuff!
Finished converting the missing UNIX functions into SAS/C functions.
Thanks to Steve Champion for informing me of some of the functions I
could use to replace the UNIX functions that SAS/C didn't have.
This is yet a beta test version to see if the replaced functions
actually do their job. I also removed many of the bugs, and tid-bits
that were causing various compiler warning messages. It now compiles
with NO warnings or errors what-so-ever. There were also a few variables
in the source code that were not being referenced. I double checked them
and commented them out.
I am in the process of working on the documents and text files.
I plan to test this version fully with Enforcer and Mungwall to be sure
there are no 'hits'. If everything works out properly, we will give
the release of BBGopher/amiga 1.0 a go. \8^)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BBGopher/amiga 0.4 (18.4.95)
Completely rewrote the original source code to get a better feel for the
program itself and what it does.
Replaced the clear screen code "12", I was using with true ANSI codes.
"\033[2J\033[H". This is true ANSI and should be compatible with all
terminals.
Changed the DEFAULTPAGER from "more" to "more %s". The %s at the end
tells more what filename to use. This is necessary for the [H]elp prompt
in the program, or else it will ask for a file and you would have to know
to type 'bbgopher.help'. Also changed it to "more %s" in the config.
The more pager will not work with CNet. If you use bbgopher via CNet,
leave the PAGER keyword in the config blank or use the keyword 'default'.
A default built-in pager will be used.
Tested it with Enforcer and Mungwall as much as possible on my bare
minimum AmiTCP setup. I used some simple ports such as the 'qotd' port.
They don't offer me much, but it is testable. It allows me to play with
the options and see if it is correctly working.
Decided it's definately time to get some sleep. I've been up for nearly
30 some odd hours and am going insane. I think I'll have another smoke
though first! \8^P
Changed the DEFAULTPAGER back the 'default' (built-in pager). I told
you I've been up too long. Since the more pager won't work in CNet you
can just use the default built-in one, which does the job nicely.
Documentation is coming soon. I'll finish writing and proofreading them
after I get a few hours rest. :)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BBGopher/amiga 1.0 (20.4.95)
First public release. All previous versions above were beta versions for
the beta tester(s).
Fixed some things, added some features, and finished up the
documentation.
Wrote the rexx script for use with CNet BBS to allow launching of
BBGopher with parsed arguments (ie: gopher mheadbbs.com)
Edited the config file so that it should work without modification for
most CNet systems. I wouldn't trust it though, be sure to proofread it
yourself.
Added an 030 compiled executable to the distribution.
Included the source code in the distribution. Now we can all be happy
if you don't like something about it!
Proofread everything and packed it up for distribution.
This is it folks!
