Windows CE to UNIX connectivity Tools 1.0.1

This suite of utilities is intended to enhance the functionality of a Windows CE device, enhance it's Windows compatibility by providing identical utilities on Windows and Windows CE, and enhance the UNIX connectivity by providing specific UNIX connectivity applications.

The ability for applications to share common files across Windows and Windows CE is a big win and makes the CE device more useful as a stand-alone device as it runs exactly like the full blown windows box when using these applications.

All applications come with Win9X and WINCE versions so that files can be shared from the desktop to the handheld without conversion.
All application data files are ASCII format for maximum flexibility.
Currently only SH3 WINCE 2.X binaries provided on CE.
Tested only on HP Jornada 680.

Applications provided in both Windows and Windows CE versions:

kmail - An IMAP4 mail client, tested with SCO UnixWare 7 and SCO OpenServer 5 (which are based on the University of Washington's IMAP server).
ktel - a telnet program that implements a subset of the spec for scoansi terminal type compatibility.
org - a personal organizer (PIM)
check - a simple checkbook program
vi - a vi-like editor that is a subset of the real thing.
wkl1 - a scripting language interpreter modelled after the C language, but is P-Code based with type checking and array bounds checks. A compile and go language, KL1 programs are source based scripts, but execution is at P-Code speeds, it still lacks graphics, just has character mode so far.
ksh - a C-Shell-like program written entirely in KL1. At last a command line prompt for your CE box.
grep, ext, phone, rg, find, deltree, ktar, ... - some miscelleaneous utilities in KL1 to make the command prompt provided by ksh minimally useful and also provide some sample programs.
diff - a UNIX-like diff utility that also includes recursive directory comparison features.
kfc - a floating point calculater that is programmable, inspired by the HP-41CX (a now defunct model), so it is RPN and loaded with scientific functions. It adds printf to make it a simple calculator-like scripting language interpreter. Like kl1 (above) this is a compile and go P-Code interpreter.

SCO UNIX Utilities provided (preliminary, in c:\scoce\osr5\scoceosr5.tar.Z).

ktar - compatible with the windows ktar format, supports long filenames.
kl1 - a scripting language making it possible to write scripts for all three platforms.
kfc - the RPN floating pt calculator.
rdiff - remote diff, a program that can sum a directory and compare two directory sum files.
ldiff - like rdiff but compares two directories and generates diff listings for ASCII files that are different, all in one command invocation.

Installation instructions:

First run the self extracting exe file with the -d flag in a temporary directory somewhere on your Windows 9X machine.

Example: scoce101 -d

For Win9X

Run the program setup.bat that was created by the self-extracting zip file.
This will create a SCOCE entry in the start menu including links to this file and the documentation for this series of utilities
Reboot your Windows computer for the changes to take effect.

For WINCE

I recommend you first configure your HPC and HPC browser to communicate at the maximum speed of 115k rather than the default of 19.2k. On the HPC use the control panel communications item and change the speed to 115k. On the PC right click on the My Computer icon, select properties, then select the device manager tab, expand the modem are (click on the plus sign), select the Serial cable on com1 item, select properties, then click on the modem tab, and modify the maximum speed setting to 115200. I believe that you should restart your windows PC now or the connection may fail as the old speed may still be in effect.
Start the WINCE browser and connect to the HPC (using the link cable).
Run the "Install/Uninstall HPC" menu item under the start/programs/scoce menu.
Disconnect and turn off and turn back on your HPC for the changes to take effect.

The Lucida Console font is an old Microsoft font from the win31 days. It is the clearest true type font for fixed width characters in really small sizes I have ever found. I provide it here for your use. I think technically you need a windows license to use it, but then you need one anyway to use any of these products so I don't think it is a problem. The font predates the Euro symbol however so that symbol is incorrect.

The Lucida Console Font is automatically installed in Windows 9x and Windows CE.

Removal instructions:

Windows CE is removed by re-running the install program from windows 9X
It will detect that the utilities are installed and ask if you want to remove them.
Windows 9X utilities are removed via the Remove button in the start menu under the scoce menu.
Alternatively the setup program (from the scoce101.exe file) will also uninstall the scoce utilities if it detects they are present.

Documentation (help).

Full HTML based help is installed and is available in the start menu under the scoce entry for both Win9X and WinCE.

Feedback Welcome.

Changes since the last release:

diff - enhanced UNIX-like file difference program.
grep - like UNIX grep, searches for strings in a file.
rg - recursive grep through source files (c, h, kl1).
du - disk usage report utility.
ktar - a cpio-like utility, creates archives of files in a format common to Windows 9x, Windows CE, and UNIX.
wc - word count, counts lines, words, and characters in text files.
rupdate - directory synchronization program, maintain two identical copies of the same directory, used by the backup program.
kbackup - A simple automated backup utility for backup up to filesystem based media such as a JAZ drive or a shared drive on a fileserver.
