Status

The software timEd, NetMgr and WIMM have all been ported to UNIX. In
years gone by these programs were distributed as shareware by Gerard
van Essen under the name 'Artware', however in late 2000 they were
released as open source under the GNU General Public Licence (GPL) and
uploaded to http://www.nicestories.com/fidonet/ (last accessed
2013-09-20).

Most of the work porting timEd to UNIX was done by Oliver Grimm.
Currently the Windows port of timEd is only stable, and semi-usable,
when compiled using Cygwin. To date there has been no attempt to port
it back to OS/2 or DOS. Contributions are welcome though! The latest
version is stable under Linux, FreeBSD, BeOS and Mac OS X.

WIMM should compile under Windows, UNIX, OS/2, BeOS & 32-bit DOS.
There has been a report of instability under 32-bit DOS, but this
cannot be replicated by me. It has been stable under FreeBSD during
testing.

NetMgr is the most recent port, thanks to Bo Simonsen. Currently it
only compiles under UNIX (Linux/FreeBSD) and BeOS. It will probably
also compile under Cygwin. It won't compile out of the box for OS/2,
Windows or 32-bit DOS using Watcom, but shouldn't need too much work
to make this possible. It has been stable under FreeBSD and BeOS
during testing, but has not been exhaustively tested.

All three require the latest version of XMSGAPI if you wish to compile
from source. XMSGAPI is a port of the Squish MSGAPI written by Scott
Dudley and released under the GNU Lesser Public Licence.

An anonymous SVN server has been set up for timEd, WIMM, NetMgr and
XMSGAPI. If you have a command-line SVN client installed you can
retrieve the latest version of the timEd source code using the
following command:

svn co svn://svn.ozzmosis.com/timed

For WIMM, NetMgr and XMSGAPI, replace 'timed' with 'wimm', 'netmgr' or 'xmsgapi':

svn co svn://svn.ozzmosis.com/wimm
svn co svn://svn.ozzmosis.com/netmgr

Paul Smedley's gcc build environment would be a good place to start these days. OpenWatcom 1.9 is another possibility.

Hmm, what was the OS/2 version compiled with?

the OS/2 flavors of TimED and NetMgr were compiled with Watcom C/C++32...

Now that OS/2 Warp is back on the scene with ArcaOS 5, it might be feasible to bring the OS/2 port back :)

"back on the scene"?? i guess eCS isn't Warp??

openwatcom might be better as that's what TimED and NetMgr were originally compiled with... as long as whoever does it pays attention to the size of the vars during the porting, things should be OK... i'm not aware of a 64bit version of OS/2 so maybe that concern isn't much to worry about like it would be for *nix and winwhatever...

really? i haven't seen ArcaOS, yet, but eCS looks just like my old Warp 3 stuff
with a few minor graphical updates and some additional programs and features...
under the hood, everthing is still pretty much the same as it ever was...

only compiles under UNIX (Linux/FreeBSD) and BeOS. It will probably
also compile under Cygwin. It won't compile out of the box for OS/2,
Windows or 32-bit DOS using Watcom, but shouldn't need too much work
to make this possible. It has been stable under FreeBSD and BeOS
during testing, but has not been exhaustively tested.

All three require the latest version of XMSGAPI if you wish to compile
from source. XMSGAPI is a port of the Squish MSGAPI written by Scott
Dudley and released under the GNU Lesser Public Licence.

Hmm, what was the OS/2 version compiled with? Now that OS/2 Warp is
back on the scene with ArcaOS 5, it might be feasible to bring the OS/2 port back :)

I neglected to reply to this months ago, so here's a more comprehensive answer.

I have no interest in running ArcaOS, but I do finally have a properly working virtual machine running OS/2 Warp 4.52 under VirtualBox. For several years I've
been unable to get Warp 4.52 to connect to any SMB shares, making it pretty inconvenient to do any development on, but just last month I belatedly took another look at it and finally fixed the several issues I was having.

The DOS & OS/2 versions of timEd 1.10 (released by the original author Gerard van Essen in December 1995) were built with Watcom C++ 10.6:

http://bbs.ozzmosis.com/tim110.zip (DOS 16-bit) http://bbs.ozzmosis.com/tim110x.zip (DOS 32-bit) http://bbs.ozzmosis.com/tim110p.zip (OS/2 32-bit)

These versions contain Y2K bugs.

It (and NetMgr, etc) was open sourced in November 2000 (released as ART_SRC.ZIP), and that code contains about a year's worth of changes from the original author since his 1995 release, including (unfinished, IIRC) code to port it to Windows NT:

http://bbs.ozzmosis.com/art_src.zip

I don't recall if it actually builds, and at this point it still has Y2K bugs.

Some time between 2001-2003 it was ported to Linux by Oliver Grimm, with Y2K bugs removed, but IIRC remained unusable due to some outstanding bugs.

In 2003 Gerrit Kuehn sent me Oliver Grimm's code. I ported it to FreeBSD, fixed
any serious bugs I found, then backported it to Linux and later OS X.

The issue with the UNIX fork now is that much of the DOS, OS/2 & NT code was removed altogether (by either Oliver or me) to make the UNIX port easier and would need to be carefully merged back in. I suspect most of this involves screen writing and directory handling, but there may be enough other differences between the two code bases for this to be difficult.

The UNIX fork also has a dependency on XMSGAPI, which could be an issue, though
XMSGAPI already builds in OS/2 & Windows, so maybe not.

Interestingly the November 2000 source code release also includes the complete source to timEd 1.00 (but not 1.01), from 1994-04-08 (TIM100S.ARJ).

Both the DOS & OS/2 versions of timEd 1.00 were built with Borland C++, not Watcom.

I grabbed the /2 version of 1.30 this afternoon and set it up here. It looks like that it is running without any issues so far that I can tell, using it with FastEcho/2 1.46.1, the latest OS/2 version of FrontDoor (which is also free) and Telegard/2.

Peace,

Good to hear. Thanks for the feedback.

I'll have to check out the OS/2 version of FrontDoor some time. I ran FD 2.02/NC for about six months in 1993 so am vaguely familiar with it. I assumed the newer versions weren't free.

You are welcome. Although I saw a reply to a message of mine in FIDOTEST that was someone complaining about no character control line or something? I mean, as long as the software works, why bother? At least, that's my take on it. Just thought I would pass that on. But, as I said, it works and does what I want it to do, and that's plenty good enough for me. :)

The software timEd, NetMgr and WIMM have all been ported to UNIX. In
years gone by these programs were distributed as shareware by Gerard
van Essen under the name 'Artware', however in late 2000 they were
released as open source under the GNU General Public Licence (GPL) and
uploaded to http://www.nicestories.com/fidonet/ (last accessed
2009-04-24).

Most of the work porting timEd to UNIX was done by Oliver Grimm.
Currently the Windows port of timEd is only stable, and semi-usable,
when compiled using Cygwin. To date there has been no attempt to port
it back to OS/2 or DOS. Contributions are welcome though! The latest
version is stable under Linux, FreeBSD, BeOS and Mac OS X.

WIMM should compile under Windows, UNIX, OS/2, BeOS & 32-bit DOS.
There has been a report of instability under 32-bit DOS, but this
cannot be replicated by me. It has been stable under FreeBSD during
testing.

NetMgr is the most recent port, thanks to Bo Simonsen. Currently it
only compiles under UNIX (Linux/FreeBSD) and BeOS. It will probably
also compile under Cygwin. It won't compile out of the box for OS/2,
Windows or 32-bit DOS using Watcom, but shouldn't need too much work

Hi Gary,

Sorry, no binaries.

I haven't built NetMgr or WIMM on Linux in several years. It turns out there were some small problems with the code. I've since committed the fixes to the SVN, and they all build now, at least in Ubuntu 14.04.

You should run "sudo apt-get build-essential subversion" if you haven't already, then:

svn co svn://svn.ozzmosis.com/xmsgapi

I was able to download the source and to my surprise they all compiled. Now I have to figure out if I can do something with
