Under windows, the web page I pointed you to has a windows command line
executeable
that will unbzip the file to a tar file ...from there I use winzip.

Under Linux (Fedora for example) a bzip binary is included and you can unzip
the archive
from gnome file explorer ... I downloaded and built both the tools and the
apple2 libraries
under linux today ... I am also trying the same thing under cygwin for
windows now ...

On the cc65.org web site there is a blurb about how to contribute back to
Ullrich

Just started tonight...   :O)

I just spent an hour or two trying to get all the stuff to compile ... I
will send you a fresh snapshot of my contiki and cc65 ..

Hi - level ....I copied the make file for the c64-rs232 and made changes
...compare makefile.apple2 with the new makefile.apple2-rs232

I worked my way through each file that died during the compile and resolved
the issue so that it compiled ...may not execute 100% ...we'll see

uip is compiled and I included simple telnet .. I had to exclude www as I
ran into link size error and I havn't had time to look at it yet.

All that is missing now is the 4 serial routines

cl65 -Ln labels -o contiki -t apple2 contiki-main.o strncasecmp.o
petsciiconv.o
contiki.o programs.o ctk-conio.o ctk.o ek.o dispatcher.o uip.o uip_arch.o
uip_ma
in.o resolv.o rs232dev.o simpletelnet.o telnet.o
Unresolved external `_rs232_get' referenced in:
  rs232dev.s(14)
Unresolved external `_rs232_init' referenced in:
  rs232dev.s(12)
Unresolved external `_rs232_params' referenced in:
  rs232dev.s(13)
Unresolved external `_rs232_put' referenced in:
  rs232dev.s(15)
ld65.exe: Error: 4 unresolved external(s) found - cannot create output file

It still may not work after you write those four routines but I think we are
off to a good start if you can get that going.

look at the rs232.s file in the c64 library source to get an idea of what
the requirements are.

Cheers ...
