AS225 Developer's Disk, Version 2.0
Release
Requires AmigaDOS 2.04 (V37) and AS225
(This is called version 2.0 only to allow for the possibility of a future
AmigaDOS1.3-compatible version 1.0.)
This disk contains the Amiga shared socket library. See the "background"
entry of socket.doc for more information on the socket library itself.
Do not distribute this disk or any of its contents. "socket.library" will be
included in the next release of AS225. If you write an application which you
want to release before the next release of AS225, contact CATS for
socket.library licensing information.
The examples directory contains the source to our new "ping" program (ping.c),
an advanced example. It also contains the source and executables to "ncopy"
(a much simpler example) and three different ncopy servers (ncopy copies files
between Amigas, somewhat like rcp from the user's standpoint).
The inet directory contains the libs and c directories.
The inet/libs directory contains only socket.library.
The include directory contains the header files for use with the
socket.library. You must rename <ss/socket_pragmas.sas> or
<ss/socket_pragmas.manx> to <ss/socket_pragmas.h> as appropriate to your
compiler -- or generate your own pragmas or stubs from the .fd file. Some
header files have names which conflict with standard SAS or Manx headers (in
particular, signal.h and sys/types.h). You'll have to figure out how you want
to resolve these conflicts depending on whether you want source compatibility
with Un*x, etc.
CHANGES:
The release differs from Beta 1 in that the syslog and reconfig functions have
been added to the library. The autodocs and includes have been changed to
reflect this and a few autodoc entries have been clarified or corrected. The
"ping" example now returns an error code and has a few other bug fixes. The
contents of inet/c may have been updated to include new utilities.
