This package is heavily based on two other packages: - p3nfsd-5.4 by Rudolf Koenig (rfkoenig@immd4.informatik.uni-erlangen.de) an nfs daemon for Psion series 3 and 5 - plp_1_7 by Philip Proudman (former email, current address unknown proudman@btinternet.com) I want to thank both authors for their nice packages and for making these available under GPL which makes it possible for me to create this package (which of course is also distributed under GPL) What i did: I modified and improved Philip's code to support more (nearly all?) rfsv32 commands and to gain speed (approx 4 times) and stability (properly reconnects on lost serial link). Rudolf's code originally used a homegrown protocol which needs a separate program running on the Psion. 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. How to install: ./configure make make install In addition to the ususal options (see INSTALL), configure understands the following stuff for customization to your environment: --enable-debug Adds -g to CFLAGS, so you will get debugging-versions of the programs and libplp --with-serial=/dev/sometty overrides the default serial device for ncpd. Without this option, configure tries to automagically find a serial device. --with-speed=baudrate overrides the default serial speed of 115200 baud. --with-port=portnum overrides the default port number, where ncpd listens and plpftp resp. plpnfsd connects to. You will get 3 programs and a shared and static library. By default, the install-prefix is /usr/local, so you probably should add /usr/local/lib to your /etc/ld.so.conf and then run ldconfig after installation. The programs: ncpd is the daemon which handles the serial link to your Psion. It listens at port 7501 for local connections and provides basic PLP/NCP services for the other two programs. plpftp is a FTP-like program for manipulating files on the Psion. plpnfsd is a daemon, which provides NFS-like access to your Psion. Have fun.
