I just wanted to make sure it was announced, but I've never read the guidelines for the group. Sorry for the lapse of "netiquette". :-) Also, between the time the file was uploaded (by someone else), and the time I tried to post this announcement, the file was moved to a different directory, anyway. Well, here's the real scoop: ======================================================================== Subject: SAS/C (R) 6.1 Maintenance Release TITLE SAS/C (R) Maintenance Release VERSION 6.1 AUTHOR SAS Institute Inc. DESCRIPTION This maintenance release patches the Version 6.0 release of the SAS/C Development System for the Amiga. Patches are installed via Commodore's Installer, and the original 6.0 disks are required during the installation process. The patch archive is named "sc6_1.lha", and contains both text and AmigaGuide documents describing all patches made. Many pieces of the compiler package are patched with this release. Though most of the patches are bug fixes (such as fread() not setting the EOF bit, so that feof() wouldn't work), a few patches add extra functionality (such as Public Screen support in SCMSG, etc.). This patch is freely-redistributable, and has been initially uploaded to ftp.luth.se (directory aminet/biz/patch), BIX, and various public BBSs. It will be uploaded to CompuServe and Portal shortly. Please, pass this file as far and wide as possible, that all SAS/C owners may benefit from this release. NOTE: The patch has already started to spread to all mirrors of amiga.physik.unizh.ch, including wuarchive.wustl.edu in directory mirrors/amiga.physik.unizh.ch/amiga/biz/patch for US access. The following files will be modified during the 6.1 patch installation process: Drawer Files ------ ----- SC: read.me SC:C smake, slink, se, scopts, scmsg, cpr, cprx, cprk, scompact, omd, dumpobj, hypergst, asm, oml, lstat, lprof, sc5, tb, lctosc SC:LIBS sc1.library, sc2.library, schi.library, scpeep.library, sekeymap.library, scdebug.library, sclist.library SC:ENV se.dat SC:LIB all .lib files and startup modules SC:INCLUDE fcntl.h, stat.h, dos.h, mffp.h, mieeedoub.h, m68881.h, stdarg.h, sys/dir.h, proto/all.h, proto/layers.h, pragmas/intuition_pragmas.h SC:REXX findsym.se, showcli.cpr, showprocess.cpr SC:HELP sc_prob.guide, sc_lib.guide, sc_change.guide, scmsg.guide, sc_util.guide, sc.guide, cpr.guide SC:SOURCE autoopenfail.c, _main.c, _oserr.c, intuitlib.c, _cxferr.c, c.a, cback.a SC:EXTRAS TTX/instructions, CED/rexx/ced/Compile.ced --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jim Cooper Tech Support SAS/C Development System (SAS/C is a Registered Trademark of SAS Institute Inc.)
