since macromedia doesn't support IRIX anymore, perhaps we can get open source versions.

On a side note:

The neko_sshd doesn't seem to support tcp wrappers, since it ignores my hosts.deny.

can someone confirm this? and perhaps add it to the current release?

Thanks

I am re-requesting perl's par / pp : which creates binaries from perl code.
foetz ported Perl/Tk for me in April which means I can run perl/tk
apps I wrote but i can't release it to others unless it's packed with par/pp
or the user installs perl/tk.
would be appreciated if someone could build this for me.

Hi
Anyone have a working compiled version of DrQueue ( http://www.drqueue.org )for IRIX?

Thanks

CVisual, search the forums, I believe Dr Queue came up in a separate thread just a little time ago and someone actually got it to run under IRIX. HTH.

I would like to see some games for SGI Systems, like Diablo 2 with EXP and some other RPGs too.

I'm about 95% sure that TestDisk is designed for x86-MBR systems, and not SGI disklabels, so it wouldn't be a port, but rather a rewrite.

The listed XFS support appears to be for Linux XFS on an MBR-based disk, not IRIX XFS (they differ, sometimes significantly) on a disklabel-based disk.

I've got a reasonable implementation of sc, som, somtc, somir, somd, somdd, regimpl, somdserv going. It's OpenDoc and WorkPlaceShell that are taking the time

If XFS for linux is different than XFS for the real SGI machines then it's a pity that testdisk only supports XFS for linux.
I was not aware of the difference between the two.

Thanks for giving the explanation. I just have to reformat the drive then to use it again, right?
Or are there other ways to get the parity tables for my XFS volume repaired?

Ctorrent is already available from Nekoware and included is its CTCS (CTorrent Control Server).
However, this has limited functionality as is does not allow to add new torrents.
For the NetworkedMediaTanks like popcorn hour there is also Ctorrent but that includes YODCTCS.
It would be very nice if this can be compiled for IRIX and possibly included into Ctorrent or seperate.

The source should be on http://yodctcs.googlepages.com/
For the NMT ctorrent/yodctcs solution see http://melkfl.es/ctorrent/

Thanks in advance, I would be very happy with this nekoware addition.

The filesystem layout is the same or very similar (I can mount IRIX filesystems on Linux+XFS), but the disk layout is different: PCs use fdisk partitions, IRIS 4Ds use a disklabel setup and volume header. Linux has support for SGI disklabels (and has a dvhtool as well), but testdisk is unlikely to support IRIS disklabels.

As I know wine don't emulate instructions - it emulate enviroment (like dll's system calls and so). So porting it to Irix/ Mips is not a solution. And if you add speed penalty to emulated program than it will be somwhere far beyond useless.

If you want X86 program + windows buy ordionary hardware (witch is in most cases mutch cheaper than good SGI) and run it natively.

Hi, when my O2 was "death" I was using again my old thinkpad and I found nice angband multiplayer clone named mangband.

Compilation (gcc 3.2.3) under linux(2.4.36) was painless (thinkpad is running heavily modified slackware 8.0). So maybe it can be done in Irix too. Known dependencies: SDL.

thanks
