Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: rdesktop 1.3.1


From: abwillisDESPAM at geocities.com 
 
I have uploaded an updated rdesktop client to hobbes.

 Incoming: <http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/rdsktp1-3-1.zip>
 Search: <http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?key=rdsktp1-3-1.zip>


rdesktop is a windows terminal server client.  "OS/2 port of rdesktop, a
free client for the RDP protocol. This version is now free for
(non-)commercial use and can emulate a Windows 2000 Professional CAL
license.  rdesktp2 ws actually 1.2 and this is 1.3.1"

I wanted the updates that 1.3.1 for rdesktop gave for clipboard use over
the 1.2 version. I had to do very little here as I just built on Jacco de
Leeuw's work.  I had 3 rejects I had to reconcile in the patch and one
addition. Unfortunately I don't know how to create a patch so I am
including the sources I updated. I also included the reject files so the
differences from the patches can be found. The piece I added was ffs() in
xwin.c I found the code through a Google search and added a prototype
based on the way the code seemed to be being used and the code itself.

This was built using Xfree86 4.4 libs so I don't know if it will run on
any previous builds of Xfree as I don't have anything older installed and
don't have the inclination to try to get the older versions running.

The source was obtained at: <http://www.rdesktop.org> 
<http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/rdesktop/rdesktop-1.3.1.tar.gz?download>
This apparently included Jacco's patches because when I ran configure the
reject files were created and I saw that he had submitted the patches. 
The configure file had a which command that I couldn't find an OS/2
equivalent so I edited it to just report gcc.  I then manually edited the
makeconf file so I included it, not really changed from Jacco's. I make no
promises to the suitability of this software no guarantees it will work on
your system nor do I promise it won't blow it up or cause you to get
warts.  In other words, use at your own risk.

P.S.   I was also hoping it would work better with Hoblink than 1.2.0 did
but whenever I drag it or drag something over it the screen area goes
black just as 1.2 did.  Version 1.1 did not do this but it gives me alot
of broken pipes when connecting to my winserver that this version doesn't.
