DXSpider patch 1.13 is available from the website. http://www.dxcluster.org/download/index.html DO have a look at the web site as I have added quite a lot to the instructions in the hope that it may be clearer as to how to run it. http://www.dxcluster.org/main/index.html Here are some comments from the Changes file:- 21Dec98======================================================================= = 1. Added "issue" to the client program for 'login' connections 2. Added more docs for client program. 3. Fixed problem introduced in 1.12 where a connect locally with a callsign of someone connected remotely would stop the cluster. 4. issue release 1.13 20Dec98======================================================================= = 1. Removed all the warnings I get with perl -w (at least for just starting the cluster and running a few commands). 2. Added per node hop control. 3. Added some docs on how to use it and isolation 4. Made talk command more intelligent in that if the user isn't seen and the user's last node is visible it tries the talk anyway. 19Dec98======================================================================= = 1. Fixed problems with sh/rcmd (talk/ann/log) with a callsign as argument and also made what G0RDI wanted work as well! 2. Added isolate flag to allow isolation of different networks at a gateway. 3. Changed make Makefile.PL to perl Makefile.PL in instructions 4. Copied latest instructions to html directory 5. Had another attempt at making clients disconnect without hanging everytime. 6. Changed msg queuing semantics so that the system routes on exact callsign. 7. Changed the protocol version so that it increments with the DXSpider version. --- Dirk-Jan Koopman, Tobit Computer Co Ltd At the source of every error which is blamed on the computer you will find at least two human errors, including the error of blaming it on the computer.
