Recently support for 80 column CONIO based on 320x200 graphics was added to the cc65 C library for the C64. This change leverages this for the IRC client and the web browser. Because not everybody prefers this 'soft80' display with its small 4x8 charbox the 40 column programs are still available as before (with the new programs called 'irc80' and 'webbrowser80').
In order to have the wget command make some sense the write command should be present too.
- On the Apple][ reduction of the MTU seems to gain just enough RAM to have the (rather heavy-weight) full-blown C library file I/O working.
- On the C128 there's way too little RAM so there's no wget command but only the file commands.
- On the CBMs a dummy lseek() was necessary to have the read command link.
- The default mouse driver is now always named 'contiki.mou'.
- Alternative mouse drivers are present in the disk images.
- Users can select their mouse driver by renaming the files.
CFS_WRITE implies O_TRUNC which is implemented on CBM DOS by deleting an
exsisting file. Hoewever this succeeds only if the CBM DOS filetype matches.
We need a working O_TRUNC in order to be able to overwrite the contiki.cfg
configuration file.
Note: Now it has be clarified why overwriting the configuration file started to
fail the CBM PFS (platform file system) can be activated for the recently added
ethconfig program.
Relevant cc65 changes...
General:
- The compiler generates "extended" dependency info (like gcc) so there's no need for postprocessing whatsoever :-)
- The linker is very pernickety regarding the ordering of cmdline options so a custom linker rule is necessary :-(
Apple2:
- The various memory usage scenarios aren't specified anymore via separate linker configs but via defines overriding default values in the builtin linker config.
Atari:
- The builtin linker config allows to override the start addr so there no more need for a custom linker config.
- The C library comes with POSIX directory access. So there's no more need for for a custom coding.
CBM:
- The C library comes with POSIX directory access. So there's no more need for for a custom coding.
