Hi,
This is more of a bug fix release of mgr. (-V/-v still
reports v0.02 but this is v0.03, I just forgot to bump the rev number)
Anyways, these are the changes from v0.02 to v0.03
Job control/pty/shell tty stuff fixes. (Bash should work now)
Star trek effect fix (dpg@cs.nott.ac.uk)
new install script to configure mouse and default display
mode.
Turn on 128K TVGA modes utility.
Basically the most important change is the bugfix for the problem of
not being able to use bash under mgr.
Also, I no longer provide with the statically linked "mgr" executable.
You now need to have a working gcc v2.1 or better.
If you are first time MGR user simply get the file
banjo.concert.net:/pub/Linux/MGR/linuxmgr.tar.Z
It contains everything you need to have in order to run MGR. Be sure
you read the README file, since some of the questions in the install
script may seem cryptic.
If you are upgrading from v0.02 to v0.03 and still have the mgr.a and
the driver files get the file
banjo.concert.net:/pub/Linux/MGR/upgrade/upgrade-0.03.tar.Z
extract and execute the upgrade script in the same directory you have
your mgr.a file. Then execute makemgr as root to configure and
create a new mgr executable.
If you want to update your mgr source code, you need:
banjo.concert.net:/pub/Linux/MGR/upgrade/diff-0.03.Z
PS: Distributing files in .a format is great huh? That way you can
release upgrade files instead of full executables.
Please send all bug reports and fixes to me.
If you want better EGA support (i.e. restore text modes) send me
e-mail, I might write a EGA driver but will need somebody to test it.
If you have a new display driver or mouse driver for mgr, please send
it to me.
