Short: Cli.datatype - recompiled for working with AMIGA OS3.5 Author: ruppert@goofy.zdv.uni-mainz.de Uploader: dbusse debitel net Type: util/dtype Version: 39.7 Architecture: m68k-amigaos Distribution: NoCD *************************************************************************** * * * cli.datatype 39.7 * * * * Written by Stefan Ruppert * * * * Recompiled for working with AMIGA OS 3.5 by Dirk Busse * * * *************************************************************************** This is a datatype to launch extern CLI programs and to display their standard output. At the moment there are the following commands included : dms -- display information about a dms file lha -- display the contents of a lha/lzh archive (using Stefan Boberg's lha) tar -- display the contents of a tar archive (using GNU-Tar) tar-gzip -- display the contents of a gzip'd tar archive (using gzip and GNU-Tar). This requires a installed pipe package. nroff -- display the contents of a nroff file (using groff and man.datatype) This software is Freeware, but not in the public domain ! It's strictly forbidden to include this archive in any kind of software collection except Fred Fish's AmigaLibrary, Aminet FileServer , Meeting Pearls CD's and BBS Fileareas or by a explicit permission from me ! This software is provided "as is". No representations or warranties are made with respect to the accuracy, reliability, performance, currentness, or operation of this software, and all use is at your own risk !

See also contrib directory cli.datatype 39.7 (27.12.99) : (By Dirk Busse ) - The source of the cli.datatype is still the same as V39.6. But the cli.datatype in the V39.6 archive doesn't work with AMIGA OS3.5. Therefore I have recompiled it with the SAS/C Compiler V6.58. The 68000 version was compiled with the compiler options: CPU=68000 OPTTIME NOSTKCHK NODEBUG STRMERGE SMALLDATA SMALLCODE NOICONS and the 68060 version with: CPU=68060 OPTTIME NOSTKCHK NODEBUG STRMERGE SMALLDATA SMALLCODE NOICONS They were both linked with: SC SD MAP $(MODNAME).map HLSXF PLAIN NOICONS STRIPDEBUG (If I compile it with OptPeep or OptimizerGlobal it won't work with AMIGA OS3.5.) Installation: Just copy one of the new cli.datatype0x0 over your old cli.datatype. Problems with the cli.datatype: - The EMailer Voodoo doesn't shows the content of lha archives in the right part of the window. The output of the cli.datatype trashes the Voodoo window. This is a problem of all versions of the cli.datatype and happens also under AMIGA OS3.1.
