I changed his code to use + the socket-based client-code from Philip's rfsv program thus + eliminating the need for any software beeing run on the Psion. + The rfsv code and some other stuff went into a lib (both shared + and static available). I also removed all Psion-3 related stuff, + because a) i can't test it and b) Sibo support is dropped by + Psion. + + Since version 0.5, there is also starting support for RPC-service + on the Psion. Note the new commands "ps", "kill" and "run" in + plpftp. This support was only possible because of Alexander Thoukydides' + excellent documentation at + http://www.btinternet.com/~thouky/software/psifs/plp.html + Thanks a lot for that. Also Psion-3 support is now added by Matt Gumbley + (matt@gumbley.demon.co.uk) + +Have fun. + -Fritz -- cgit v1.2.3
