I've tried installing PL 15 of gopher on my VMS machine. First off, . there's a minor problem with the COMPILE.COM and LINK.COM routines . in that HYMOO.C and HTML.C both seem to be gone, but the procedures . don't know about this. Ooops! . Second, when I attempt to modify my (O)ptions in the client, I receive an . error about changes being unavailable in secure mode. I didn't set it up to be . running in secure mode, however. Someone sent me a patch so that people can't set options if they're running with a restricted shell. I had to fix this so that it would work in VMS (there's no concept of rsh in VMS, right?) The variable restricted was used uninitialized, change the top of SetOptions to look like this: void SetOptions() { int choice, restricted = FALSE; char *shell; I'll have an interim release soon that fixes this. -- | Paul Lindner | lindner@boombox.micro.umn.edu | Slipping into madness | | Distributed Computing Services | is good for the sake | Gophermaster | University of Minnesota | of comparison. ///// / / / /////// / / / / / / / / //// / / / / / / / /
