Sharc / News: Recent posts

Well, I have finally released another version of sharc thanks to Mike Craymer at NRCAN who generously offered to pay me to add a few features. The main new features of this release are:
--support for receivers connected to ethernet<->serial devices
--minbps option to disconnect if bps is too low
--retries option to retry if the minbps is too low. This can be expanded to have N retries in the case of any failure.

Sharc 0.99.10 is available

This adds a cancel during download feature that does not lose previously downloaded files.

It also fixes a bug in session programming verification.

Hi All,
0.99.6 is here. Minor improvements and bug fixes. Somewhat controversial 1 second subtraction from end time of MicroZ file. Z12 end time is time of last epoch, where MicroZ file is time of file closure. Subtracted 1 second so that the file seems to close before the next is opened.

Well, I needed to put out a 0.99.5 to "bite" a couple of bugs. A possible file corruption in the Ashtech Z12 and a problem identifying the receiver type to download.

Have fun

This is version 0.99.4 which includes a RPM files, updates to debug statements, fixes for some Zmodem stuff, and other random things. Also, a man page that is generated from the executable.

There is a new release available (0.99.2). This includes corrections to compile under windows which have been tested. Also, Session programming for Ashtech Micro-Z.

This new release is the first version that has working Leica and TurboRogue support. Also, the download switch has been changed.
