When I got home, I tried this and found that it don't work, SORRY!!
But this does.
cd \nos\rcs
for %a in (*.*) do echo >> ..\cox.bat co %a
cd ..
cox
(so I did have to muck about with a temporary batch file after all!)
Why can't the base version be released with a normal source archive, (as well
as the RCS crap) it would save all this mucking around.

Hey gang,
I went to build a NOS (JNOS) which configured in PPP last week. I
eventually succeeded, but not before running out of static data space
several times. My final solution was to add a define PPP_TRACE, which
independently controls the compilation of trace_log calls in the ppp*.c
files. The problem was a fairly large number of trace_log calls, which
all take a string argument. The string arguments, being statically stored,
fill up the 64K static data pool rapidly. I'm not certain PPP is really
anymore at fault than any other part of NOS, but it was the straw that
broke my camel's back.
I'm starting to wonder (a) is all the trace logging worthwhile in
NOS anymore and (b) would NOS benefit from message cataloging, which
would move many, if not most, of the messages from static storage to
a file?
By the way, I've got a NOS with BBS, AX.25 and PPP running now... neat!
Dana

It appears the people supporting Net/Rom have once again died.
Originally Amatech in Clovis Calif. it had moved to Fresno with
another person supporting it. That seems to have fallen off the
face of the earth now as well. Mail to Ron Raikes WA8DED either
at Compuserve or Packet BBS goes unanswered. I guess if this
keeps up, then TheNet and G8BPQ will be the "standard" by which
others should comply.
Has anyone out there had contact with any of the above recently?
