Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15; format=flowed Reply-To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com This is release 2 of the Watt-32 tcp/ip library compiled with DJGPP. Watt-32 is a library for making networked TCP/IP programs in the language of C and C++ under DOS and Windows-NT. Both 16-bit real-mode and 32-bit protected-mode is supported. For DOS, Watt-32 requires a packet-driver (PKTDRVR) to access the data-link layer. Further information about this library can be obtained at: DJGPP specific changes. ======================= This difference between this release and the previous one is that fixes for a bug in CPU detection code that causes crash on 486 and for a bug in getaddrinfo have been added. These changes have been proposed in: for a DJGPP port of Links. Please note that I have no 486 anymore so I cannot verify this. I make these changes available in the hope that they will be useful for 486 users. They do not hurt for Pentium and above users. Please note that this port has been compiled using gcc473 so it has been generated using pentium opcodes. This may not be useful if you create applications that shall be run on 386 machines. To avoid this inconveniences I have recompiled the library a second time using gcc344 together with the -march=i386 flag set. This library has been renamed to 386libwatt.a. Choose the library that is appropriate for your application and delete the other one. I have also fixed a bug concerning a NULL pointer access. Under rare circumstances, a FILE pointer has still its initial NULL value but it is passed as argument of fgets() in getnet.c:getnetent making the application abort with a SIGSEGV. All other changes are the same than in the last port release. For details of the previous release that are still valid for this release see at: As usual all djgpp specific changes are documented as diff files stored in the /djgpp directory. Please do _NOT_ mix libraries. If you decide to compile your project using DJGPP 2.03 use the watt32 library from the /current directory. But if you use DJGPP 2.04 then use the watt32 library from the /beta directory. Do _NOT_ mix libraries compiled with different versions of DJGPP. The port has been compiled using stock djdev203 (patchlevel 2) and consists of the two packages that can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as (time stamp 2013-12-13): Watt-32(version 2.2 dev-rel. 10) binaries, headers,, library and docs: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/wat3222br2.zip Watt-32(version 2.2 dev-rel. 10) source: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/wat3222sr2.zip The binaries have been produced a second time using the stock version of djdev204 beta library. This package is available AT ftp DOT delorie DOT com and mirrors as (time stamp 2013-12-13): Watt-32(version 2.2 dev-rel. 10) binaries, headers,, library and docs: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/wat3222br2.zip I have removed the previous release.
