1211.0. "Calling for Vt100 V2.8" by PUERTO::ALVAREZ (Miguel,from sunny Puerto Rico) Wed Mar 02 1988 19:51

    	I received during the weekend from comp.binaries.amiga part 1 of 
    the Vt100 V2.8 executable. 
    
    I'm still missing part 2. Did somebody receive it ? If you have
    the complete executable, could you please upload ?
    
    Thanks.

    Me too.  This is getting to be a bad joke:  Whenever I receive anything
    from comp.binaries.amiga or comp.sources.amiga that's broken into
    "n" pieces, I ALWAYS get n-1 of them.  I have here a directory full
    of all but one piece of almost everything that's been posted.
    (Actually, I get frustrated and delete it all after a while).
    
    I spent most of last night downloading VT100 V2.8 sources parts
    1-4 and binaries parts 1 and 2, only to discover after the fact
    that I'm missing part 3 (which is the second part of the executable).
    Granted, I could possibly reconstruct the mess out of the source,
    but I only have Lattice 3.03, meaning major pain in the backside
    resulting in an executable that's 50% larger than rational explanation.
    
    Anyone have the missing half of the executable?  Please??

>    Check pauly"amiga"::vt100v28.uue

Sorry Paul, I checked your copy day before yesterday it is is only the first
half of the binary.  It was in two parts that needed to be concatenated and
then UUDECODED.  I only got part one also.  :-(

1211.4STAR::BANKSIn Search of MediocrityThu Mar 03 1988 11:175
    I dunno.  I did a DIR of pauly"amiga"::vt100v28.uue, and it's almost
    exactly twice as big as the half of the binary I got, so it must
    have another half of something.
    
    Couldn't copy it for some reason, though...
1211.5How to get the missing partNAC::PLOUFFLANsman WesThu Mar 03 1988 11:2212
    So why are we sitting here complaining about it?  In the past, I have
    had good luck sending mail to the moderators asking for a repost.
    All you need to say is something like "blah blah part 3 did not
    arrive at this site and probably did not arrive at the DECWRL::
    gateway.  Please repost."  Send to DECWRL::"comp.binaries.amiga@usenet"
    
    The troika of moderators have made a real effort to respond to requests
    of this type.  How about one of you sends a message and reports
    the results back to this note?

1211.6The PAULY executable is only the 1st halfCOOKIE::WECKERA wholly owned subsidiary of DECThu Mar 03 1988 15:568
re:	.4

It's twice the size because it is a SHAR file that contains the DOCS along
with the first part of the UUE file... in other words.. no dice!

P.S.	The sources WERE posted... I'm just too lazy to recompile them. If no
	one gets the executable I will rebuild it (if necessary).

1211.7Rebuild please ?PUERTO::ALVAREZMiguel,from sunny Puerto RicoFri Mar 04 1988 07:2231
	Re.6    
    		Seems like vt100 v2.8 won't be re-posted. Could you
    please rebuild from the sources ? Or anybody else ? I don't have
    a C compiler. Thanks.

   This a quick information notice about vt100 2.8 that we posted recently.
 
   It seems that *unshar* can't deal with the shar properly -- it dosen't
remove the leading 'X' on each line.  sh, however, has no problem with the
shar.  The binaries are still retrievable by deleting the leading 'X' with
an editor before uudecoding (at least, it uudecodes to the correct number
of bytes).
 
   I've fixed (reshar'ed) the copies in the archives, but I'm not going to
repost them since any editor will fix them, and sh still does them correct.

I'd love to try and rebuild it. Pardon me, but where are the *complete*
sources?

Got it. I'll see if I can build it this weekend.

1211.11Still not all thereMANTIS::LONGFri Mar 04 1988 18:237
RE:.10
	don't bother, Dave doesn't have complete sources either.
        It only has makefile, expand.c, init.c, kermit.c, remote.c
        script.c and vt100.h.  You still need window.c, xmodem.c
        and a few others I don't remember right now.

    look in mvcad3::user0:[amiga.usenet]vt10028src.sh*...plus if I get
    a chance, I'll be trying it too with Lattice 4.0...

It's here on WJG also.  I compiled it this weekend under Lattice 4.0.

Seemed to work fine.

WJG::AMIGA:VT100_V28.ARC  

Executable only.

re:	.14

John:	You have a bunch of protected .ARC files in that directory (including
	VT100_28). Please unprotect the .ARC files...


1211.16WJG::GUINEAUDo you know we exist?Mon Mar 07 1988 13:3511
Oops, Sorry :-)

If your after the VT100 EXECUTABLE, use VT100_V28.ARC.

The VT100_28.ARC are the sources I copied from you!

I unprotected everything.
