I've ... kinda neglected this project, but then again it's such a basic tool that it doesn't really need much updating after I initially wrote it, save for the migration to 64 bits. Anyway, I've finally migrated the old CVS repository into Git. PRODUCTION_2 is still the "current" branch, though now I'm planning on merging that branch into 'main' to follow the proper Git standard.

I've finally updated the CVS repository. Please take in mind that the "current" branch is the PRODUCTION_2 tag. The only difference between the latest tarball and CVS is the removal of an unused .h include.

It seems that some changes aren't quite working on newer 64-bit distros. This may be because of the fact that the inet socket interface used int instead of the FILE type; this was not a problem in 32-bit platforms. However, on 64-bit platforms, this will bring upon you a cast error upon compilation. For this reason, I will shortly commit a small change to correct this issue, hopefully the change won't break 32-bit compat as casting long *should* be the same on 32-bit gcc.

Well, as some of you may have noticed, it has been 2 years since my last update. Even though it might seem as I only did 2 modifications on this project, it was actually about 6 months or so in development when I opened up the SF project. I didn't bother on uploading the whole pre-SF devel tree as the first versions were far too unstable.

However, some weeks after this, my main development box decided to kill my HD. All my changes came to an abrupt halt, and left me all summer vacations w/o a functional computer.... read more
