Release notes

This is the first release of WIMM since Gerard van Essen's last version
(1.31; December 25, 1994).  It has been ported to 32-bit Windows and
UNIX.  There are no new features.


Installation

To compile WIMM from source code you will need the XMSGAPI library.
Please refer to the INSTALL file.

For usage please refer to wimm.doc (December 25, 1994).  Note that some
comments may no longer apply to this version.

conferences, or send e-mail to mail@ozzmosis.com.

Please send any changes, bug reports or fixes to Andrew via the above
channels.  When sending code changes, context diffs (eg. `diff -c

Installation Notes


Supported Compilers

The following makefiles can be used to compile this release of WIMM:

Compiler                               Makefile
-------------------------------------- -----------------------------------
Borland C++ (32-bit Windows)           makefile.win32.borland
Microsoft Visual C++ (32-bit Windows)  makefile.win32.msvc
Watcom C++ (32-bit DOS)                makefile.dos32.watcom
Watcom C++ (32-bit OS/2)               makefile.os232.watcom
Watcom C++ (32-bit Windows)            makefile.win32.watcom
GNU C (UNIX)                           makefile.unix

Notes

- WIMM is probably not endian-safe.  It may require a little-endian
  CPU, ie. Intel, not Motorola, to run properly.  Among other things,
  lastread pointers probably won't be read properly (they will most
  likely be read backwards).  All this means WIMM [probably] won't yet
  run correctly under Linux on a PowerPC, or under Mac OS X on a G3, for
  example.  This will be fixed in a future version.


Compiling

To compile WIMM from source code you will need the XMSGAPI library.  The
latest release of XMSGAPI is currently available at

  http://blizzard.dnsalias.org/fidonet/xmsgapi/

The base directory of both wimm and xmsgapi should be located off the
same subdirectory, eg.

  /usr/src/wimm
  /usr/src/xmsgapi
  /usr/src/xmsgapi/src

in UNIX, or

  c:\devel\csource\wimm
  c:\devel\csource\xmsgapi
  c:\devel\csource\xmsgapi\src

in Windows or OS/2.

Once XMSGAPI has been compiled you can compile WIMM.  Copy the
appropriate compiler makefile (eg. makefile.unix) to a file named
"makefile" and run the appropriate make utility ("make" for UNIX,
"nmake" for MSVC, "wmake -ms" for Watcom, etc).
