Switched the laptop, then the desktop to MobaXTerm. Outside of the very extensive and long download sequence ("quite a while" needs clarifying in the Wiki - seems to have been well over an hour here), seems to run off the script without a hitch. On the refreshed main fork for now. Thanks for putting the testing instructions in the Wiki. Was not clear if MSYS needed to be deleted, but did so to avoid overloading the storage locally without things. Will continue to test as much as possible as additional patches are rolled out. Should be able to copy the setting by hand from my ancient 0.3.x install. 73 and Thanks! Jack Spitznagel – KD4IZ Science River LLC Biomedical Consulting Services -----Original Message-----
From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of John E. Malmberg Sent: Sunday, December 3, 2023 15:21 To: [email protected] Subject: [d-rats] New 0.4.2 release with MobaXterm on Windows support A new 0.4.2 release of D-Rats is now available. A new installation script for installing on Microsoft Windows using MobaXterm instead of Msys2 has been prepared. The MobaXterm install has been tested with Windows 7, 10, and 11. For other platforms it is available both from cloning and or updating a github checkout from . The pip installable tarball is at /g/d-rats/files/D-Rats/D-Rats%20Releases This fixes many issues with message and form transfers. This also fixes an issue where on radio links, D-Rats may randomly drop characters resulting in incomplete communications, failed responses and file transfers. All older versions of D-rats are known to have this bug. Similar scripts as used for MobaXterm should be possible for other platforms. MobaXterm is compatible with most Linux commands at the command line level, but not 100% compatible with shell scripts for Linux. 73, -John wb8tyw |
