- 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.
