News about running PARCP on Windows NT/2K/XP
Note about Microsoft Windows NT/2000/XPPARCP can work under these operating systems with the help of the following utilities:
For proper long file names support under these operating systems you might want to install the following driver: NT LFN TSR Note about PARCPCFG for Linux I have been asked for Linux version of PARCPCFG (the configuration program that tests your hardware for parallel ports and sets up the PARCP accordingly). Well, it is not possible for me to create the Linux version because under Linux I don't know how to detect the parallel ports. So please always use the DOS version of PARCPCFG for configuring PARCP on a certain hardware and then simply copy the PARCP.CFG from DOS to Linux - this will work fine. Thanks. Latest development news are listed in the following plain text file: HISTORY.TXT. Sometimes it's better to read this file as it discuss the changes in greater details than the full PARCP documentation. PARCP has been developed since about summer 1996. First as a simple application without any user interface that could just copy one single file from one Atari computer to another one. Soon I added the PC communication routines and released first usable versions. At about Chrismas 1996 the command line interface of PARCP was introduced. Then I have been adding new features and in summer 1997 I started working on full screen user interface (similar to Norton commander on PC). By the end of 1997 PARCP started to support LapLink cable (for PC-PC communication), ECP parallel ports and the fullscreen interface was released to public. Since then new features have been added to every new release (quick sorting, file attribute preserving, Archive mode and more). However the frequency of releases has dropped slightly because I think PARCP is already rather complete and stable for everyday use. FutureI've got a list of things I would like to add to PARCP. If you have something what you would like to see in PARCP don't hesitate to drop me a note . |
