      12 Jan 18 03:25, I wrote to Robert Wolfe:               ac> It (and NetMgr, etc) was open sourced in November 2000 (released as        ac> ART_SRC.ZIP), and that code contains about a year's worth of changes        ac> from the original author since his 1995 release, including (unfinished,        ac> IIRC) code to port it to Windows NT:               ac> http://bbs.ozzmosis.com/art_src.zip               ac> I don't recall if it actually builds, and at this point it still has Y2K        ac> bugs.              Some sense of deja vu here as I may have looked at building the OS/2 version       years ago but don't recall getting very far.              Good news: After about an hour I got the OS/2 version to build using Watcom       10.5. OpenWatcom 1.9 should also work, but I haven't tested it.              Bad news: Building it required removing the nodelist lookup code as it depends       on the proprietory (and evidently still closed source) Mix C Database Toolkit.       Most of this stems from the unnecessary complexity of the old V7 nodelist       format, although having said that, IIRC the OS/2 version of BinkleyTerm can       work with V7 nodelists and is entirely open source. Still, whoever decided on       that format all those years ago was a complete masochist.              Good news: It runs!              Bad news: It does indeed still have Y2K bugs which require fixing, but this       isn't difficult provided they can all be found again.              Good news: I'm inclined to put the source on GitHub.              Bad news: The OS/2 version crashes on startup when there are more than ~127       columns in the OS/2 Command Prompt window. It looks like it's using unsigned       short in the code somewhere instead of unsigned int.              Bad news: I can't get the Watcom Debugger to show the source code to allow me       to step through the code. I'm probably doing something wrong. The OpenWatcom       build might work though.              --- GoldED+/BSD 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: Blizzard of Ozz, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia (3:633/267)    |
