Release .98 Beta of CB.app CB has been uploaded cs.orst.edu and placed in the submissions directory. CB should be moved to the /pub/next/binaries/comm directory at some point. Since I have not been working on CB consistently I really can't remember what has been fixed but this version has quite a few enhancements and bug fixes. If you have any problems please give as many details as possible and send some email to dmoffett@andi.org. Have fun, David Moffett dmoffett@andi.org Release .96 Beta of CB.app CB has been uploaded cs.orst.edu and placed in the submissions directory. CB should be moved to the /pub/next/binaries/comm directory at some point. CB is an application to share pasteboards, files and sound on a local net. Unlike previous versions this version will work on that Intel hareware ( not a misspelling ). Unfortunately near real time transmission of sound is no longer possible with this version of CB. Since I don't get free support form NeXT anymore I cannot justify spending money to figure out why the white hareware will not support the sound code I used in versions that worked on the black hardware. Since I was using code to talk directly to the sound driver I guess it was not all that portable. ;-( If anyone has any ideas... Bug fixes: - Sound works on White hareware. Store and forward. Not as sweet as that black hardware. Maybe it will work on more organized hardware like a gecko. - I have really worked on connection stuff. I hope most of the bugs are gone out of this code. - Some other bugs fixes I can't remember. If you have any problems please give as many details as possible and send some email to dmoffett@andi.org. later, David Moffett 27 Oct 93 Release CB.app CB is an experimental program to attemp near real time voice communications between two NeXT computers using ethernet. As of 27th Oct 93 I have no idea if this program will work on intel hardware. That is one of the reasons I am releasing this version of the program. I am hoping someone will download and test this program on intel hardware and then send some email telling the results. So if you have some intel hardware with a sound card please consider sending me some info on how it works. Also if you can get the program to connect over the internet I would sure like to hear about that. So far no one has been able to get the program to work over the internet for one reason or another. I have no way of testing this program between more than two people so if you are using more than two copies at one time I would like to hear about your experiences/problems. Some of CB's features: 1. Share a pasteboard between users. 2. Near real time voice communications. 3. Send files to one or more users. 4. Multi-user talk window ( Bulletin Board ). There are no real changes from this version other than the following: 1. The program will only run under 3.1. 2. CB is fat. 3. Some bug fixes. a. Some connection problems resolved. b. Remote connection bug fix. c. General clean up of code. 4. As requested by a number of users I have merged the Connections window and the Control window into one window. Anyway let me know if how you like the program. There has already been some pretty cool uses of the program and I would sure like to hear of some more. David B. Moffett dmoffett@andi.org
