Where do I find FREEWARE tar, gzip, patch, diff, gunzip files for MSDOS
or Windows95, not shareware version of WinZip 6.2 etc. I do not wish to
spend even 1 cent to buy any programs when the source code is out there
for unix and is free. In fact I do not see how people can make
shareware files for these programs when the source code says 'Don't even
think about charging any money for this...'. A FAQ file at
ftp.circlemud.org said that all the files I would need would be at
ftp://ftp.gnu.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu. I found source code for patch 2.1.
However it requires unistd.h. I also have no idea if this is the patch
program I need to apply files found at ftp://ftp.circle.org/. Since I
am not a UNIX user I can not compile this program to add any files to
the current Circule mud version I have out of circle30bpl11.zip.
Can anyone help me? Someone has to use Windows 95 and MSVC++ to
compile this program. Otherwise it would not be written in MSVC++ for
Windows 95. If anyone does use Windows 95 and MSVC++, and that person
has these programs on his system can you email me a copy of all of
them? danielh@teleport.com. I spent 12 hours trying to find these
programs or edit the source code myself. All I get are errors because I
am not adding the information in the write way. However this is kinda
hard to decifer:
534c534
< { "cucu" ,POS_STANDING,do_say,0,0},
---
>
Furtheremore if this is not hard to decifer and is telling me to CHANGE
line 534 what about when I add 10 lines before line 534. Then line 534
might 544. So if I did have a PATCH, or DIFF program, How do they work
anyway?
