Artware software
================
Last updated: December 13, 2003

Status
------

The software timEd, NetMgr and WIMM have all been ported to UNIX.  In years
gone by these programs were distributed as shareware by Gerard van Essen
under the name 'Artware', however in late 2000 they were released as open
source under the GNU General Public Licence (GPL) and uploaded to
http://www.nicestories.com/fidonet/

Most of the work porting timEd to UNIX was done by Oliver Grimm. Currently
the Windows port of the LATEST version of timEd (currently 1.11.b1) is only
stable when compiled using Cygwin.  To my knowledge there has been no
attempt to port it back to OS/2 or DOS.
Contributions welcome.  The latest version is stable under Linux and FreeBSD.

WIMM should compile under Windows, UNIX, OS/2, BeOS & 32-bit DOS. There
has been a report of instability under 32-bit DOS, but this cannot be
replicated by me.  It has been stable under FreeBSD during testing.

NetMgr is the most recent port, thanks to Bo Simonsen.  Currently it only
compiles under UNIX (Linux/FreeBSD) and BeOS.  It will probably compile
under Cygwin.  It won't compile out of the box for OS/2, Windows or 32-bit
DOS using Watcom, but shouldn't need too much work to make this possible. 
It has been stable under FreeBSD during testing, but has not been
exhaustively tested.

All three require the latest version of XMSGAPI if you wish to compile from
source. XMSGAPI is a port of the Squish MSGAPI written by Scott Dudley and
released under the GNU Lesser Public Licence.

CVS repository
--------------

An anonymous CVS server has been set up for timEd, WIMM, NetMgr and
XMSGAPI.  If you have a command-line CVS client installed you can retrieve
the latest version of the timEd source code using the following command:

cvs -r -z3 -d:pserver:anoncvs{at}blizzard.dnsalias.org:/cvsroot co timed

For WIMM, NetMgr and XMSGAPI, replace 'timed' with 'wimm', 'netmgr' or 'xmsgapi':

cvs -r -z3 -d:pserver:anoncvs{at}blizzard.dnsalias.org:/cvsroot co wimm

cvs -r -z3 -d:pserver:anoncvs{at}blizzard.dnsalias.org:/cvsroot co netmgr

cvs -r -z3 -d:pserver:anoncvs{at}blizzard.dnsalias.org:/cvsroot co xmsgapi

If you'd like write access to the CVS repository at
blizzard.dnsalias.org to make source code/documentation changes to any of
these programs please send crash netmail to Andrew Clarke at FidoNet node
3:633/267 or e-mail mail{at}ozzmosis.com with the username and password you
wish to use.

Hope this helps.  Keep us posted.

We are a fine board trying to make it better.
