******************************************************************** * IMPORTANT: If you have used the mfsutil subset, you will have to * * remove the mfsconf call from your bootup sequence BEFORE running * * INSTALL. (Sorry, but I can't really link a GFA program with the * * mint libs :-) * * * * Alternatively: you can issue a mfsconf command as follows BEFORE * * running INSTALL.PRG: * * * * mfsconf -s t -l t -d t * * * ******************************************************************** This file is intended to be a list of the .zoo archives in this directory together with a short description of the archives. All of the patches are designed to be unzoo-ed onto a floppy disk and then have INSTALL.PRG run from disk1 of the kit, which will then install them into the partition specified. To unzoo them, copy the zoo file to C:\, open a window on A:, and while holding the right button down, double click on Zoo.ttp, typing "x C:\filename.zoo" into the parameters box. This will keep A: as the active window, and you will find 1 or more .zoo file(s) & a .sys file will appear on the A: directory when done. At this point you should run INSTALL.PRG Fri Jan 8 14:39:08 WET 1993: ============================= Gcc231.zoo: gcc 2.3 patchlevel 1, assorted tools, and the gas assembler. The latest version (as of this date) of gcc. Has full support for the -mbaserel and -mpcrel options, but does not include g++ , both AFAIK. Incobj25.zoo: The patchlevel 25 versions of the header files and libraries (both 'b' libraries (sharable text) and normal libraries included. Falcon header files included also. These are necessary for versions of MiNT >= 0.96, as they fix a serious bug in directory manipulation. Compress.zoo: A 16-bit un*x-like 'compress' program. This was missed out of the original kit by mistake. Man4.zoo: The patchlevel 25 versions of the manual pager suite. Needed to work with version of MiNT >= 0.96 Sed113.zoo: GNU sed vesion 1.1.3. The latest version of GNU sed available. Sed is a un*x utility to apply an editor-like operation (eg: search/replace) to a file - sed stands for Stream EDitor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Jan 18 11:36:40 WET 1993 ============================ disk1.zoo: Changes to SETUP and INSTALL to make them work in other than ST high resolution. Can't test on TT, but those ought to be able to work in ST high mode anyway. Init1.zoo: Bugfixes care of Tesch for the login/write programs. Now no longer reports 'can't write entry in utmp' message. Man4.zoo: Allows you to install the manual page for whatis ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Jan 25 15:21:51 WET 1993 ============================ disk1.zoo: changes to INSTALL to make it allow you to select more than one .sys file from the disk. Now you "Load Config" and it puts up 2 windows. Clicking in one will change the current .sys file, clicking in the other will change what files to install. shlutl1.zoo: The latest versions of the GNU fileutils (AFAICT). Specifically I think the test.ttp program actually works! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sat Feb 13 16:47:36 WET 1993 ============================ Mfsutl.zoo: mfsutl.zoo is something of a strange subset. Here are the GNU utils compiled with no TOS-like hashing of filenames into 8+3. The purpose of this is that 'make' as distributed is incapable of finding a Makefile in its own directory. To solve this it is necessary to use mfsconf.ttp to change the way files are referenced on the minixfs filesystem. Unfortunately, doing this results in the cp and rm and mv etc. programs failing ( and in fact deleting in some cases ). So, here are a set of programs that will work properly under the minixfs. No guarantees if you install them onto a TOS file- system, though. This subset should be installed *only* if you use minixfs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Mar 16 16:02:51 WET 1993 ============================ Doc1.zoo: This is the set of manual pages (both pre-formatted and not) from Hildo/Eric + all the MiNT docs that come with the original package. Gcc-as138.zoo: This is the GNU Assembler version 1.38 patch 4. The latest to date AFAIK. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Mar 22 13:38:44 WET 1993 ============================ Cat2.zoo: An updated version of cat stolen from the bsd sources. Allows operations like: cat > file G++233.zoo: Actually the cc1+ back end of the gcc compiler. Allows compilation of C++ programs with the gcc compiler. [ Apr 1, 1993 - discovered that this really contains version 2.2.2 of the program. Still need a 2.3.3 binary... -- hyc] Gawk.zoo: The GNU version of awk. Manual pages are missing - I'll fix this RSN. The program installs as 'awk' rather than 'gawk' because few people are going to have a version of awk lying around. Tar1111.zoo: Hildo's compilation of GNU tar 1.11.1 - Please read the info page when you install this. This program will soon become the distribution method for the MDK. Probably a 'must install' subset. UUutil.zoo: The uuencode and uudecode programs. Useful for sending 8-bit data over a 7-bit link. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
