Ladies/Gents.....

Am trying to compile versions of NOS with the untimate goal of getting bugs
worked out so i can port it to LINUX.

Am using the latest Borland C++.

I get bucu errors no matter what I do.

If I compile from inside C++ I get numerous bad references and Indications that
names are not passing to other modules.

If I do a MAKE I get numerous errors against eaglevec.asm etc.

Nothing I do compiles clean. Am I missing something??????

Well, if you can wait a week I will hopefully have JNOS 1.09 up and running under
Linux by then.  I have something that halfway works now, but it's 1.08c and compiled
for Linux 0.99.4/libc-4.2 --- the latter has a bug in malloc() which probably
explains some weird JNOS crashes I see.  Since I'm upgrading Linux tomorrow and the
JNOS update is waiting for me to pick it up locally, all I need to do is dig up
enough time to apply my patches to the 1.09 sources and expand/modify them to fit
the changes.

Dick,

There is an excellent NOS port to Linux called WAMPES, that is available
on ucsd.edu . It also works on Sun and HP systems. The only non-excellent
part about WAMPES is that it is short on documentation.

Given that you would like to work on Linux NOS, could we persuade
you to work on documenting WAMPES? I'd offer to help, but I'm about
to go on my honeymoon :-) .
     Thanks

To: tcp-group@ucsd.edu

A research project which I am involved in may be using the KA9Q source
as on a Motorola 68332 board.

Question:   Has anyone heard of KA9Q (or similar) being ported to the
            68332 (or similar)?

Thank you *very* much for any and all information.

To: tcp-group@ucsd.edu

Gents, would like to inquire if there is some sort of committe taht standardizes the various versions of NOS.
I have GRINOS fss, GRINOS jss KA8TE and WG7J104.
Each has some nice stuff but each concentrates on different things and each
seems to hve each own set of problems.
Is anyone making a concertted effort to get this stuff combined???
It looks like we sure need it!!

Im not very skilled in C++ & all that stuff but I will lend a hand (anyone can
just gripe).

When compiling for other than a 386, the md5.c source generates
compile errors due to missing parenthesis at the end of calls to the
ROTATE_LEFT macro.  The corrected source should have:
(a) = ROTATE_LEFT ((a), (s));\
