Hi Dan,
thanks for the interesting post, I will take a look at it.
Stefan / AH
PS: Release planned for this weekend

Hi Dan,
this is really strange...
And I don't know what else to do.
Maybe you might want to try another distro.
I don't have a clue to what might be wrong here.
All I can do is to try to recreate your installation path in ~/ndndir/
and try to execute NDN...
Let's see...
EDIT: not reproducable even with your installation paths...

Hi again, finally. :)
First of all, I have successfully fixed the crash problems
I have also tested this in many terminals, here are my findings:
Tested the event code with following terminal emulators: gome-terminal: either keyboard or shift keys work, multiple focus events rxvt : @ characters appear at cursor position eterm : @ characters appear at cursor position aterm : @ characters appear at cursor position wterm : @ characters appear at cursor position xterm : ok konsole : ok mrxvt : @+LF/CR characters appear at cursor position mlterm : @% characters appear at cursor position
Strange that keyboard fully works in all terminals except the gnome-terminal.
Btw, I tested these all on Ubuntu 6.06 today.
The remaining @... problems probably have to do with unicode/utf encoding and
can now be worked on as the crash was the main
reason that has kept me from continuing with more courage on the LNX port.
I successfully tested the few terminals existing on the Kubuntu Live-CDs yesterday
(possibly the non working keys like alt still don't work...)
Here is the archive for everyone to test:
http://www.bnhof.de/~ho1459/temp/lnx_x.exe
Btw, you don't need sudo in X, but then ndn should have the group x
permission: -rwxr-x--- else NDN won't be able to start.
Ok, this is all for now,
I would like to have some feedback soon. :)

Hi again.
I have only one suggestion, since the listing seems absolutely ok:
try "chmod 777 ./ndn" and run ndn again.
Additionally, what happens if you type in "./ndn.des", which is no executable at all?
Maybe the same error?
Btw, as I worked on the X window crashes yesterday, I found that NDN does work without sudo.
But only if the file has the group exec bit set: -rwxr-xr--
I finally have fixed the crashes, I only have some problems getting the focus on all the different
terminal implementations in X. I hope to be able to upload a newer version today.
Bye,
Stefan / AH

Hi Dan,
can you post the complete directory listing?
Stefan / AH
PS:
One user recently reported to me that NDN doesn't execute.
All I was able to find was that the OS didn't even go to the entry point of the executable.
Anyone ever heard of soemthing like that?

Hi Dan,
it's already on the list:
[*] file attributes (Dandv)
1. Allow entering only part of the time and zero the missing parts. E.g "18:03" for "18:03:00", "14" for "14:00:00"
2. Same for date, but only use the current year: "15.04" instead of "15.04.2005", but "15" is invalid.
3. Allow 2-digit years: "1.1.03" now produces 1.1.2051.
4AH. multiple files: insert date/time of the current "selected" file
5AH. multiple files: empty inputline means to use the current data of the file
Quite some things to add to the code...

"Badge" added to the homepage main menu to the left: http://ndn.muxe.com/.
I voted for the best project, since all the other choices were much too specific.
Stefan / AH

Hi Dan,
nice idea, although NDN is not a fully open sourced project.
Then again Microsoft is a "Diamond sponsor" of the event,
so we shouldn't worry too much because of the term "open source". :)
But let's try.
Thank you,
Stefan / AH

Hi Hunter, nice to see you here.
First of all, I have finally located the X crash problem and am working on a fix
which should even solve all the remaining issues in X.
Now I need to find an universal method of getting the window id of the x console window.
This is vital so I can access the X functions (keyboard and window stuff).
But, as you might have guessed, this is not trivial.
I hope to have this done at the end of today.
Using the WINDOWID env var seems not to work flawlessly, and I know that some consoles
behave strangely when using the sudo to start NDN. More on this later when I did more
testing.
Btw, using the Ubuntu 6.06 fonts in Kubuntu works fine.
This means full DOS compatible drawing in TTY mode.
Sudo:
Problem is that there's no way to read (f.ex.) the screen content without access rights.
Same with the keyboard handling.
Of course you can make a special user group to let NDN access the /dev/vcsa files for example.
Linux is not programmer friendly at all, at least not for doing complex programs like NDN.
Ok, I will post again when I made some progress.
Thanks for your support,
Stefan / AH

Hi.
I have uploaded the file again.
But I am not sure if it is the same as the previous one and complete.
Can someone compare the content of this archive with the content of the previous one?

Hi Marco!
Some opinions about various topics in this thread:Always good to hear!
About FPC usage:...
Even if you stick to VP, getting some FPC testing done might be useful. It improves FPC, and allows to investigate the problems. Specially since its "Vision" part is copyright free. FPC on Linux/windows should generally be way better than VP, except maybe debugging on windows.
One of the reasons that the FPC port is in decline is exactly this, when the hordes moved on, Dos usage ground to a halt, and the few remaining don't want to invest anytime anymore, and keep patching old stuff (TP,VP) indefinitely. Which is a pity. At least try to experiment and file bugs a bit. As said the new 2.2.2 release should at least get the dos port closer back to the quality it had during later 1.0 times.
If there are issues with the *nix FPC rtl, I'd gladly here them, since I'm the maintainer. Note that FPC made enormous progress after the original postings to this thread, first and for all the entirely redesigned Unix ports. However some of the issues that you (probably) have now (utf-8 and long file names in TV) are there in FPC too. It is unclear what to do about that, upgrade TV to be more Delphi dialect compatible, or keep it the way it is. The point is a bit academic, since nobody is using Turbo Vision under FPC, and it is only minimally fixed from time to time to keep the textmode IDE running.
Same with unicode and threads. They are supported on non dos targets, but not (yet) on dos. However these kinds of functionality are implemented using manager records (records with procedure variables) and thus pluggable by the user without even a recompile, at least in principle.
Yes, UTF is unsolved at the moment, but I really never tried to do anything about it.
No known problems with filenames though.
But the main problem here is limited time:
I don't want to spend or waste time on a not yet necessary compiler change.
As I described above, it would take months just to get NDN back to where it is right now.
The TV code was extended a lot.
And my main concerne is the OS dependend RTL code:
Every RTL of the 3 VP targets was highly improved and rewritten.
I would have to spend a long time, doing the same to another RTL,
until it behaves like it should.
As my todo list is quite long, I rather spend my time on bugfixing and new features,
until the day will come when VP is not working anymore for NDN...
About "libc and Linux".The libc interface is not a hard API, with a defined binary interface. This is because it is governed by Unix standards like POSIX, but that is a different way of specifying an API, and being able to use the system compiler is one of the requirements of that way. IOW if you are not the system compiler, you might not be able to interface with a posix interface in the way it is meant to be (read: using OS provided headers).
So while the man pages declarations keep the same, types and macro implementations often change. Specially the threading related part generaly breaks every major release, and sometimes in between. The comparison
The distro maintainers that keep 3rd party C/C++ packages running are pretty useless for anything outside the basic "configure; make ; make install" run.
So IMHO the arguments about Libc linking in this thread are slightly naieve. Show me a nineties shared linux binary that is still working without compability settings or libs, and I'll show you my 1998 FPC binaries. Even statically linux binaries using libc probably won't work anymore.
Sockets are btw perfectly doable using kernels. However DNS resolving, and some forms of unicode use are things better left to the OS (this because resolving is pluggable in libc for directory systems)
Nice that you share my point of view. :)
At the moment I don't know of any problem with the kernel calls in NDN.
So, I also should not worry about this either.

Hi,
I just found 2 bugs:
1) the editor block switch with ALT and RMB works, but following block commands like COPY or PASTE
treat the block accordingly to the mode visible in the info line
2) D32: the colors dialog is once again messed up due to a resource compile mismatch
Very embarassing, esp. as this was such a small release.
Sorry for that,
Stefan / AH
PS: I don't know if I will upload a quick bug fix these days or wait until the next release, which will
not take as long as last time (planned for end june / start of july)

Hi everyone.
Once again I am not in the planned release cycle of 1 release per month, sorry.
Additionally, this is a quite small release, but pretty much time has been put into
the code merging with Veit Kannegiesers latest VP RTL.
Hopefully this did not break anything, maybe improved the working of NDN.
The next release will be my 5th NDN anniversary release, I hope I can present you
something "big" next time...

Hi!
Thank you for reminding me. ;)
But seriously, large file support, new copy code and plugins are the 3 big plans for the
remaining 7 months of 2008. I just cannot promise anything.
The past 2 weeks I went on holidays and I hardly worked on NDN in this tim.
I plan a new release this weekend, almost 2 months without any release in total.
So, please be patient, I am doing my best. :)
All the best,
Stefan / AH

Hi Flo,
in fact the standard file copy window (not FTP) already can be put to the background,
just try to switch the windows as usual. There's only th problem that the current
background code in NDN does not "prioritize" fore/background tasks.
I want to work on this someday and add a little enhancement.
Hm, for a start you can try the copy option "Refresh old files".
I think this comes quite close to what you asked for.
Tell me if it that works for you.
Btw, I want to rewrite the copy code, maybe for the next release, so all VFS' will
use a single interface, hopefully working as good and with same options as the
current disk copy code.
Grüße aus Oberfranken,
Stefan / AH
PS: Has anyone ever worked with a DOS TCP/IP library, like WATTCP?
I wonder how close or similar it is to the standard Windows/Linux socket 2.0 interfaces.
If it is compatible to the standard sockets then implemting this for the DOS port of NDN
will not be too much work.

Hello everyone.
Unfortunately, especially because of code merging, I couldn't do as much as I wanted to
in the past month. So this release is again mainly a bug fix release without much new
stuff. Hopefully in april...

Hello Rurik,
I am glad you read this.
To your questions:
a) You must enable the "Wordstar" keys to use CTRL-E in the commandline:
Options.Configuration.Misc Options.KEyboard Setup.[X] Use Wordstar diamond
I added this to give the user the choice of Windows compatible hotkeys and the "old"
Wordstar hotkeys. Unfortunately they overlap and are not compatible.
B) I know, the network VFS was a quick hack for Necromancer. I have this issue on my
todo list already:
* NETW: improved network VFS
* NETW: option screen on what to scan
Thanks for your support,
Stefan / AH

Hi *!
A user wrote me an email yesterday with a crash concerning the editor/viewer
opening files, with an exception message similar to:
... in file histries.pas, line 135 ...
Unfortnuately I lost the email (am setting up Vista...) and I thought I should
answer here, maybe he reads it:
I had no problem with the sample file you sent me. I think that there's some
problem with your history files. I suggest you to delete the histories and then
try again. If the problem continues, please write again.

Hi.
Another month, another release.
I want to get back to the monthly release cycle, even if there's not much news,like this time.

Hi again!!
1)
This is possible of course: [sHIFT-F12], [CTRL-INS]
You can add any video mode you want.
I just checked the 175x83 size, it indeed doesn't work and produces 80x43.
This is due to an limit in the existing video mode handling.
Try reducing the x/y size to 172x82. (by editing the video mode [F4])
2)
This is partially possible by choosing panel layout [CTRL-0] in the maximized window.
It automatically adjusts the columns to the screen width.
bye,

Hi HMS!
First of all, thank you for your nice words and for sticking with the DN file manager line.
1.
I don't agree.
In Linux it is possible to resize the window and NDN will resize itself accordingly.
In Windows this is not possible (try with an command prompt window), or at least
I don't know about it. But Windows allows an application to set any window size it
wants and this is where the "old" video modes come in.
In Linux I didn't find a possibility yet to switch the window size from within the
application, maybe I will someday (when I fixed the dumb X problems).
Maybe you haven't seen that the Windows NDN provides the biggest possible
screen mode when hitting [sHIFT-F12] as the last entry in the list?
In my opinion, video modes perfectly fit in any environment. :)
2.
Resizing in Windows is not possible AFAIK.
But, as it is possible in Linux and maybe in future target OSs and also
makes sense after changing the "video mode" I will add your request
to my (too long) todo list.
Thank you for your interest,
Stefan / AH

Hi!
Found the first major bug myself:
NDN cannot view a file with size 0 a second time in text mode,
except if it's entry in the viewer history is deleted.
SFX + Linux:
Ui, this is bad.
But you can still unpack it with RAR like a standard archive.
If there will be more complains I will think about it again.
Bye,

New Beta: V.2.31.1478
in Development
Posted · Report reply
Hi!
This is it, my 5 year anniversary release. Unbelievable!
With more than 2 months since the last release, sorry. :)
I talked about something big the last time. There were a few things on my list
that would have fit into this category:
+2GB file support
Plugins
Better Linux X-Server support
Well, I started off with working on the X-Server thing, and I got quite good results.
Of course, a lot of new problems popped up: suddenly some terminals stop sending
keypress/release events when the mouse cursor enters the window.
I have not been able yet to solve this (probably just a focus thingie?) without grabbing
the keyboard - maybe this will remain as final solution
But at least NDN doesn't crash anymore and should be quite usable under X now.
Please, look into the online help in the supported operating systems topic for more information.
But, while working on this, I found out that there's a Linux emulation layer (Linuxulator)
built into FreeBSD (and other BSDs...), which was said to be quite complete.
Of course, I could not resist and started working on making NDN run in FreeBSD.
It took me several WEEKS, just to find out that NDN uses many
Linux calls (ioctls) are not supported (yet?).
I found out that the VP program PE2ELF was not correctly working and
started to rewrite it (the source code can be found on the download page and needs
to be copied over the existing VP installation...).
With some changes to my LNX RTL (FreeBSD destroys some registers which it shouldn't...)
at least simple VP LNX programs now run on the FreeBSD Linuxulator.
Last but not least, the ELF executables are now more compatible to all the Linux tools
like readelf or file.
Don't know if that matters to anyone, but it does matter to me. :)
There are some little bug fixes and improvments besides the above stuff.
Some issues on my todo list simply are no easy task anymore which can be solved
within a few hours or days. :)
But read for yourself down below.
I hope I will be able to continue the exciting work on NDN as long as possible.
And I hope that all of you will keep on supporting me and NDN like in the past.
Thank you to the people who contributed code, bug reports or money.
Thank you to all users and supporters!
On to the next 5 years!
