Short: slrn 0.9.6.2+ (slang 1.4.0) - Amiga Rel 2 Uploader: hynek.s@web.de (Hynek Schlawack) Author: John E. Davis (davis@space.mit.edu) Type: comm/news Requires: MC68020+, OS 2.0, ixemul.library V48+, ixnet.library 48+ slrn 0.9.6.2+ ============= Description: ~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a amiga-compile of slrn 0.9.6.2 with applied patches from Felix Schueller and Thomas Schulz . (as found on http://www.netcologne.de/~nc-schuelfe/slrn/patches/). Have a look into doc/slrn.rc for changes to the original version. This is a really great and powerful program but some knewledge of the amiga and GeekGadgets are necessary to have really fun. I used to use THOR but slrn is imho much better. Give it a chance! This archive also includes the slang-package which is needed for a recompile. Installation: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you have installed GeekGadgets then just copy slrnpull and slrn wheter you want. I would suggest BIN: however. If not, make an directory and put usr/ into it. You'll have to make an assign (usr:) to it. You should create an own directory because there will be a handful of files and subdirectories needed. You will also need a directory with a BIN: assign containing sh (included). For both: A variable called HOME has to be set to the directory where .slrnrc is situated. You have to set real paths and no assigns (eg. set home "GG:" won't work, you'll have to set home "Developer:GG")! Now refer to the original documentation. After having read the docs in the doc-directory you should also have a look at changes.txt. slrn, slrnpull and slang has been compiled using egcs-2.91.66 using the following options: CFLAGS = -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -m68020 -mstackextend LDFLAGS = -s -mstackextend Changes: ~~~~~~~~ changed #define SLRN_GEN_FROM_EMAIL_HEADER 0 to #define SLRN_GEN_FROM_EMAIL_HEADER 1 in src/slrnfeat.h Credits: ~~~~~~~~ Thanks to John E. Davis for his work on slrn. Thanks to Jörg Strohmayer for his former work on the amiga version of slrn and for supporting me creating this package. Changes: ~~~~~~~~ sh, uudecode and the whole usr directory included. Hynek Schlawack
