That's what I did with GuruTerm. I took uIP (think it was v0.9 at that time) from Contiki and adapted it for stand alone usage. Also had to rewrite the DNS Resolver and DHCP client for standalone usage. Was not too hard though! You will however be forced back to the world of state machine / status flag hell. That's what put me off with the GT development. Once you want to start implementing some more advance functionality - not to mention a user interface - you're on a paved road to the afore mentioned hell. That's why Contiki2 looks so appealing with it's process and event driven framework. But, yes - IIRC I got the entire network code portion down to ~15 kb including the DHCP, resolver and the RR-net driver.

Hi,

I forgot to mention that - thanks for pointing out!

Again full ACK. Therefore my advice "only for specific environments with limited functionality" ...

That's roughly what I'd guess. Depends on things like do I count in the cc65 C library / runtime stuff needed by uIP or not...

Regards,
Oliver

Cold winter, dark evenings and ... a short notice to all you fine people here at retrohackers.com: ContikiBBS 2.5.1 is due to be released throughout this weekend. This is just a minor bugfix release eliminating the "line input / only last line written" bug reported by RaveGuru and other visitors. I've also changed the line editor header to display max. lines / cols. possible for input. The fix for the bug mentioned above has already been checked in into the contikiprojects svn repo. A new 2.5.1 D64 image will follow shortly.

P.S.: yes, plans for version 2.6 are cooking. Also, for you developers out there, a quick startup guide (as requested by Oliver) is in the making. Stay tuned!

The new ctkbbs0251.zip file containing a D64 disk image can now be found in the Network Files section of this forum. Also, as of now, a quick startup guide is included in the ZIP file and has also been checked in into the SVN repo. Let me know your comments, especially regarding the documentation. Have a nice weekend!

Hello everybody,
yes, I'm still alive - as is ContikiBBS: a new year, a new release of ContikiBBS!

I've just checked in the sources for version 0.2.6 so everyone who's interested can now pull the changes from the Contiki Projects SVN repository. Those who prefer a finished .D64 image can find this new release in the files section of this forum.

What's new in this release?

* added bbs_banner() function and three default banners:

1. login.txt the contents of this file will be displayed at login
2. menu.txt the contents of this file will be shown once after successful logn
3. logout.txt the contents of this file will be shown at logout before termination of the connection

all of these files can be edited manually on a PC in order to allow some customization. In true Commodore 64 fashion, I've decided to go with a 40 column width by default.

I'm open for suggestions to implement further banners, so feel free to post your wishes here.

Hey Lodger! Good to see that Contiki BBS is alive and kicking!

You said it!

Regards,
Oliver

Thanks people!

Further development is already being planned on. Right now I have the basic parts of the BBS together. What's missing is a personal messaging system. This is planned and a must-have on my list. Currently, I'm looking how to make the input handling code for posting messages a bit more flexible. Also, I'm looking for ways to make REL files and messages > 256 bytes of length work somehow.

Hey there,
no new release (yet), but you can now find the Contiki BBS sources on GitHub as well (https://github.com/lodger-c64/Contiki-BBS). Stay tuned for more!

Howdy folks, I'm back again ...
Contiki BBS development has been resumed. I'm currently working on some code to replace REL files with SEQ files for storing messages. First code examples work very well. This will allow for longer message texts (good bye, six-line-limit), more efficient use of storage capacity and probably reduce application size. Also, this will allow Contiki BBS to run on sd2iec devices. I've decided to use one of these for my own Commodore 64 in order to relieve my original C1541.

Cool! That's good news, Lodger. Excited to hear more about the progress...

Yeah, with the sd2iec device came the hunger , hehe. if everything works well, Contiki BBS will use cfs for file I/O. I'm currently adapting the setup program to work with cfs then work my way up through the whole server code. It's kind of a rewrite but a useful one.

P.S.: glad to see that this forum is still up and running, I wouldn't know where else to go if I needed some important coding info.
