The latest updated port of slrn to Windows 32 boxes has been posted to
alt.binaries.news-server-comparison.
Included are libslang.a modified for libwstdio.a and libwstdio.a.
This is a compressed, archived, latest beta of the 32-bit Windows
version of the Unix SLRN news reader. It is statically linked to
the libslang library and the wstdio console library. To send
mail from the news reader, you need to find the `sendmail' program
on the internet, and modify the configuration (slrn.rc) file
accordingly.
Because of the present limitations of the MINGW32 compiler when a
graphics (non-Microsoft console) program is linked to crtdll.dll,
you need to launch slrn either from a Microsoft console command
line or from a batch (.bat) file. A sample slrn.bat file is enclosed.
Features include:
- Mouse capability (with the -m option)
- For the Windows 3 version, converts internal file names of
any size to (8,3) file names, but uses (8,3) external files,
such as newsrc.txt.
- Optimized screen-display algorithm, so that screen updates
are super fast.
- Copy-and-paste now implemented.
- Not a Windows console app, so can use, e. g., Windows
asynchronous socket calls. (to do)
- slrn configuration file (slrn.rc) debugged for Windows use.
- libslang includes the slcurses sublibrary of standard
libcurses.
