Short: Distribution for all Amigas Author: Olaf `Olsen' Barthel Uploader: amk@cs.tu-berlin.de (Andreas M. Kirchwitz) Type: comm/term Introduction to the `term' v4.3 distribution ============================================ Since so many things went wrong with the `term' v3.4 distribution I decided to change the distribution scheme in v4.0. The same scheme has been applied to v4.3 since it worked rather well with v4.0, v4.1 and v4.2 and I did not want to rewrite all the script files which were used to put the v4.0 and v4.1 distributions together. There are now nine distribution archives whose contents are listed below. For the most important files PGP signatures are provided to let you verify their integrities. You do not need to download all the nine archives in order to get a working `term' v4.3 setup. Just download the files you need, explained below is what the archives contain. term-4.3-main.lha (618119 bytes) -------------------------------- This archive contains all you need to run `term' on your Amiga. Only the basic set of libraries and documentation files are included. If you wish to use other external transfer transfer protocol libraries than xprzmodem.library or need to use special external terminal emulation libraries you should download the term-4.3-libs.lha archive. More documentation files can be found in the term-4.3-doc.lha archive. term-4.3-030.lha (615533 bytes) ------------------------------- This archive contains all you need to run `term' on an Amiga equipped with an MC68020/030/040/060 CPU. Only the basic set of libraries and documentation files are included. If you wish to use other external transfer transfer protocol libraries than xprzmodem.library or need to use special external terminal emulation libraries you should download the term-4.3-libs.lha archive. More documentation files can be found in the term-4.3-doc.lha archive. term-4.3-doc.lha (204401 bytes) ------------------------------- This archive contains the main program documentation in AmigaGuide format for browsing with MultiView and the like and additional documentation files for the file transfer and terminal emulation libraries. term-4.3-libs.lha (129187 bytes) -------------------------------- This archive contains special support libraries which enhance the functionality of `term'. These are terminal emulation libraries and file transfer protocol libraries. It definitely is a good idea to download this archive if you don't have these libraries around already. term-4.3-extras.lha (268054 bytes) ---------------------------------- This archive contains extra material that is not absolutely necessary to run `term' v4.3, but may still either be fun to have around or adds extra functionality. Included are revision 5 of the Hydracom Amiga port which can be used with `term' (note: Hydracom is a bidirectional file transfer protocol similar to bimodem), sample ARexx scripts, character translation tables and sound files. term-4.3-locale.lha (246709 bytes) --------------------------------- This archive contains the user interface text, translated into Danish, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Swedish and a blank catalog translation table file to fill in. Download this file only if you want `term' to use Danish, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Spanish or Swedish user interface text (Workbench 2.1 or Workbench 3.x required) or wish to translate the user interface text into your preferred language. term-4.3-source.lha (688993 bytes) ---------------------------------- This archive contains the source code to the entire `term' project, including the new user interface support library. This is by far the largest archive in the distribution, so think carefully if you really need to download it. term-4.3-dvi.lha (218298 bytes) ------------------------------- This archive contains the main program documentation in TeX DVI format, suitable for printing on a TeX setup. Download this archive only if you wish to create a printed manual. term-4.3-postscript.lha (264551 bytes) -------------------------------------- This archive contains the main program documentation in PostScript format, suitable for printing on a PostScript printer. Download this archive only if you wish to create a printed manual. Installation ============ `term' v4.3 is very easily installed; just unpack all the archive files into the same directory. Ignore any messages about files getting overwritten since some files are found in more than one archive. When unpacked you will have the complete distribution sitting on your hard disk drive just as it looks like in my original distribution tree. You do not need to copy the libraries, fonts or catalog files to the corresponding system directories, `term' will find the files contained therein all on its own. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 36914 14574 60.5% 08-Sep-94 22:44:44 +term.catalog 47640 18029 62.1% 20-Feb-95 14:06:22 +term.catalog 46036 17676 61.6% 10-Jan-95 15:46:06 +term.catalog 42354 16203 61.7% 08-Sep-94 23:02:48 +term.catalog 37906 14909 60.6% 13-Dec-94 15:42:44 +term.catalog 40214 15388 61.7% 10-Dec-94 19:23:22 +term.catalog 38766 15047 61.1% 08-Sep-94 22:59:36 +term.catalog 2563 1614 37.0% 09-Sep-94 11:16:08 +term_DropIcon.info 628 269 57.1% 16-Jul-94 12:07:34 Documentation.info 481 217 54.8% 15-Jul-94 17:06:24 +Documentation.txt 468 227 51.4% 16-Jul-94 12:07:34 +Documentation.txt.info 628 272 56.6% 16-Jul-94 12:07:40 +XPR_Libs.info 131 98 25.1% 15-Jul-94 15:21:46 +XPR_Libs.txt 468 226 51.7% 16-Jul-94 12:07:42 +XPR_Libs.txt.info 38146 14558 61.8% 18-Feb-95 15:52:02 +xprzmodem.doc 468 215 54.0% 16-Jul-94 12:07:42 +xprzmodem.doc.info 628 257 59.0% 16-Jul-94 12:08:14 Fonts.info 259 179 30.8% 30-Nov-94 22:59:38 +Fonts.txt 468 228 51.2% 16-Jul-94 12:08:14 +Fonts.txt.info 524 39 92.5% 04-Feb-93 20:20:02 +GFX.font 664 325 51.0% 04-Feb-93 20:20:02 +11 568 312 45.0% 08-May-92 22:14:32 +8 524 38 92.7% 03-Feb-93 14:15:56 +IBM.font 4000 2111 47.2% 22-Jan-93 12:29:44 +11 3236 1834 43.3% 22-Jan-93 12:30:06 +8 67540 36970 45.2% 18-Feb-95 14:52:16 gtlayout.library 88 88 0.0% 20-Feb-95 16:31:22 gtlayout.library.sig 628 255 59.3% 16-Jul-94 12:08:14 Libs.info 1553 537 65.4% 30-Nov-94 22:59:56 +Libs.txt 468 225 51.9% 16-Jul-94 12:08:14 +Libs.txt.info 23356 14133 39.4% 18-Feb-95 16:01:00 +xprzmodem.library 7492 4205 43.8% 01-Feb-95 09:41:50 Read 584556 279096 52.2% 20-Feb-95 14:07:54 term 1208 548 54.6% 20-Feb-95 16:24:26 term-4.3.txt 561 301 46.3% 20-Feb-95 16:24:26 term-4.3.txt.info 328685 111019 66.2% 20-Feb-95 14:52:50 term.doc 468 225 51.9% 16-Jul-94 12:08:16 term.doc.info 87 87 0.0% 20-Feb-95 16:31:30 term.doc.sig 1975 788 60.1% 16-Jul-94 12:08:16 term.info 1975 789 60.0% 09-Sep-94 11:16:00 term.info.old 88 88 0.0% 20-Feb-95 16:31:38 term.sig 77000 21621 71.9% 20-Feb-95 14:54:38 termRexx.doc 468 225 51.9% 16-Jul-94 12:08:16 termRexx.doc.info 88 88 0.0% 20-Feb-95 16:31:44 termRexx.doc.sig 17336 10036 42.1% 07-Oct-92 15:23:06 UpdateConfig -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 1460302 616169 57.8% 22-Feb-95 20:44:38 45 files
