HWGRCS PATCH 4
README V1.0 13.jun.93 HWG
IMPORTANT -- IMPORTANT -- IMPORTANT -- IMPORTANT -- IMPORTANT -- IMPORTANT
1. The patch method has changed. Read this file carefully!
2. If you did not use the "-a" option with LHA when unpacking this patch
go back and and use it. YOU NEED TO PRESERVE THE FILE ATTRIBUTES!
IMPORTANT -- IMPORTANT -- IMPORTANT -- IMPORTANT -- IMPORTANT -- IMPORTANT
This is the fourth bug fix for HWGRCS. A few changes to the patching method
are now in place. The patch is divided into the binary patch and the source
patch now.
TO INSTALL A BINARY PATCH:
You _need_ the "HWGRCS patch level 2" archive hwgrcs.lha, length 482783
bytes. This patch is relative to patch level 2 as that was the only major
release.
There must be about the same directory structure as in the hwgrcs.lha
archive for your current setup like:
README.first
hwgrcs
hwgrcs/src [etc]
hwgrcs/man [etc]
hwgdiff
bin
If you did mess around with that structure you might need to read the
following and duplicate the actions described manually depending on
your setup.
Unpack hwgrcs.lha to any favorite place on your HD, RAM: whereever.
Do an "Assign HWGRCSP2: <place>" where <place> is the path to where you
unpacked hwgrcs.lha.
CD back to the place where you unpacked this patch (where this readme
is).
Type "patchscript" <RETURN>
(If you don't trust me, check this script first ...
and DON'T TRUST ME ;^)
The "README.first" will be updated, too.
TO INSTALL A SOURCE PATCH
To keep the file sizes small, I only distribute changes relative to the
previous release. If this is source patch <n>, you need to have source
patch <n> - 1 already installed. Basically this means that you need all
the patches to be up to date. You can't skip one.
Patch in the .diff files with whatever means you have, by hand, a patch
sw, whatever ...
Special note:
The rcsfreeze source changed completely with HWGRCSP4. Please
rename the rcs file rcsfreeze,v to rcsfreeze.old,v and use the new
file rcsfreeze.c,v in this patch.
Bug fixes/enhancements:
- The .a Ada file extension and its comment leader are now finally
replaced by an Amiga assembler compatible ".a" with a leader of "* ".
Therefore the complete list of Amiga specific extensions and comment
leaders is now:
.a "* "
.fd "* "
.guide "@REMARK "
.i "* "
.ps "% "
- rcsfreeze is now a SAS/C 6.2 source. This was done because the script
froze the branch number instead of the highest revision on that
branch. This shouldn't happen anymore, but be careful!
Included are:
- The binary patches relative to "HWGRCS patch level 2"
- The source diffs to the "HWGRCS patch level 3" release.
Additional notes:
If you have FTP access and if you don't see this file on aminet sites
already, it would be great if you could upload it. Any other means of
distribution are welcome, too. This file is freely redistributable.
Please report bugs, enhancement request etc. concerning HWGRCS to me:
