QuickVoy : OPEN SOURCE

QuickVoy has been made Open Source, according to the conditions stated here.

This means that you now have access to the source code, to modify it as you see fit.

What you get...

• QuickVoy !RunImage (BASIC)
• !autoupgrd (assembler, from BASIC)
• !fetcher (BASIC, and horrible!)
• !mbxwatch (BASIC)
• !mbxwatch 'makedomain' (C)
• !qvconfig (BASIC)

What you don't get...

• QuickVoy's alternative dialler extensions

Compatibility

• BASIC code...
  Will work on BBC BASIC installed in RISC OS 3.10 or later.
   
  
• C code...
  Standard C code. Was compiled with Norcroft C release 4.00, but should be okay with EasyC or gcc.
   
  
• QuickVoy main program
  Uses features present in RISC OS 3, so that is the lowest possible version.
  Extensions can use Dynamic Areas (RISC OS 3.5++), but this is an option. The same facilities are available under RISC OS 3.1x, only slightly differently.
  Makes reference to JPEG rendering modules, ChangeFSI, and jpegtran - but can cope with these being missing (with the associated lack of provided functionality).
  References Emily (if present), else Voyager.
  While it can be untangled to work stand-alone, it is currently pretty integrated with Voyager.
   
  
• !autoupgrd
  Relies upon parts of Voyager being present.
   
  
• !fetcher
  Don't ask... It requires the Acorn/ANT/Argo internet stack, and compatible Resolver, to be loaded, as it accessed directly.
   
  
• !mbxwatch
  Slightly better socket code. Requires stack/resolver, and broadcasts a message to QuickVoy.
  If 'domain' file not present, it'll figure out who you are by asking Voyager.
   
  
• !qvconfig
  Standard WIMP code to parse/edit QuickVoy's configuration file. Needs a few RISC OS 3.1x facilities.

Development builds

• Version 0.40.
  Technically it is a release, but I've not gotten around to it.
  I am releasing it as source because the routines are commented better. :-)

Source modifications

• There are currently no outstanding modifications.

Known or Suspected bugs

• Suspect if an error occurs during connection, that'll cock it up for the next attempt when it'll drop carrier suddenly (after connected) saying Timed out trying to connect...!
   
  
• QuickMail's editor is a bit iffy.
   
  
• It'll drop dead if it finds a broadcast URL that is not http: and not mailto:. A good example here would be telnet:.
  The message handler needs to be changed to better understand the two forms of HTTP message (the error occurs because it's accessing void memory trying to read a 'long' URL).
  Fixed in version 0.39
   
  
• Minor redraw issues with sparky-thing.
