[Fdpm-develop] Some changes to FDPM

[Kenneth J. D. <Per...@at...>]

Hello all,

I am working on changing FreeDOS install program to use FDPM instead of unzip.
A few tidbits of information where not included in the FDP 0.1.0 spec, so I
updated FDP to 0.2.0 and added them (things like license & maintainer) and
have updated FDPM to 0.9.0 so it uses these changes and a few other changes
so it handles some functionality I wanted.  The actual FDPM.EXE program should
behave the same as before, except it uses v0.2.0 FDP packages and the PATH
specified to create/open the db is now assumed to be a directory, that is,
if it does not end in / or \ then one is appended.  I still need to update
the build library so it understands the added entries.  A stub version of
uninstall is in place (it just returns error), but after I get the initial
working release of install using FDPM lib, I plan to finish it (as it is
needed to properly support upgrading a preexisting install).  If anyone
is still following this list, please let me know!  After I get the above
stuff done I'll figure out who I need to send the files to, but in the
meantime, if anyone wants my work in progress just send me a note. 
I updated the DB library to have function prototypes, fix 1 = versus ==
bug, and a few function calls missing a 3rd (but unused) size parameter
(I think the original compilers will still work - assuming they support
function prototypes, but I have only currently tested my changes with
Borland C/C++ v3 - which happily compiles without errors or warnings
(in default mode) and runs all the tests fine). I also updated it to
compile the DB library in large mode since FDPM & Install are both compiled
in large model.
