Hi,
does anyone know how to get either AllegroServe (AS) or Portable
AllegroServe (PAS) to run in ACL v5.01?
I have read that the current version of AS only works with ACL v6.0.x or
higher, however I have also read elsewhere that the minimum requirements for
AS is 5.0.1 - I guess this referes to an older version of AS but I haven't
been able to find one that works.
When I try to compile the current version of AS I get the following error:
Error: Symbol "SET-SOCKET-OPTIONS" not found in the ACL-SOCKET package.
[file position = 32730]
[condition type: READER-ERROR]
which is expected given that "set-socket-options" is a function introduced
in v6.0 - the closest "socket" function in v.5.0.1 returned is
"set-socket-format" however it does other things so that was not the answer.
The other problem I found is that if I try to use PAS I get even more errors
and essentially it eventually tries to run AS.
My knowledge is not good enough to fix up this problem so I would be
grateful if anyone could direct me (or tell me) what to do to solve the
issue.
Thanks.
Ok,
does any one know where I could go and ask this question hoping for a clue
or answer?
Thanks.

I didn't think they would still provide support for a 2 generation old
version of acl but I'll give it a try (I guess an email to
·······@franz.com).
