I think you're best bet is to send the sources to the moderator as well. It's easy enough to generate context diffs on your nearest Unix box, but it's a bit harder for most ST users to apply them. (Anyone working on porting Larry Wall's patch program?) This gives me an idea - p'raps people might want to start posting about their current ST programming projects? Would give a greater indication of an interested community, and also allows for people working on similar things to connect with each other. At least, you'll know not to try to duplicate someone else's effort. At best, you could collaborate and come up with something Really Good a lot sooner. Just to start, I could mention that I'm working with GNU's gcc, aiming at getting it running on TOS and Minix. I know someone has ported the KA9Q TCP/IP package to the ST finally, though they haven't been talking about it here, and I haven't seen mention of the source for that yet. A few people have casually mentioned NetHack 2.3. Has a bug fixed version ever appeared? Other things I'd like to get working are GNU Make and RCS. (Which would require working versions of diff and diff3, at least.) Anyone else doing something they feel like talking about? -- / /_ , ,_.
