Re: [Tiny-cobol-users] changes in accept using ncurses/screenssection

[Andrew C. <apc...@so...>]

David,

I agree and think it would be great if we could merge the code from
Sourceforge and Rildo's version.

I have not had much time to do any further work on TC myself.

Perhaps after the merge a new release may be a good idea.

Also if someone has time the fileio can be enhanced to have full support for
Variable IO as I never got to finish that part.

Regards
Andrew Cameron

Actually, Rildo created a new CVS branch based on TC 0.62.x, I think.

I have no objection to the addition of Rildo's code to TC.
And I have downloaded Rildo's code from his CVS server on several occasions.

However there is a problem.
SF and Rildo's CVS trees are no longer in sync.

This means the you can no longer merge the two sources. And if you 
could, there is no guarantee that the code will work properly, and that 
new bugs are not introduced.

In short you have to do it manually.
Rildo and I discussed merging his code to SF CVS, but due to a number of 
reasons this never got done.

In any case Rildo's changes do not fix all the problems with CURSES-IO.

Fernando, Nilo, please wait until I complete the my changes.
I should be finished in about 2-4 weeks.

Fernando, I have some questions.

First, is Nilo ware that the 'upload' will require more that a simple 
CVS merge ?

Is Nilo aware that the 'test_suite' must be run before and after the 
changes without any errors, or change in the results ?

Finally, is the most recent version of available on Rildo's CVS server ? 
And if not where can it be found ?
