Click here for the readme file. 06/16/2002 - HAM Tutorial Status Update
- You may have noticed the lack of updates and news lately. Don't
panic, I haven't discontinued work on the site. Instead, reallife has
caused me to put my work on the HAM Tutorialson hold for a couple
of months. I just packed up my stuff and moved from Ohio to San
Francisco this week with my girlfriend. I will then be in Japan for an
internship from June 20th through August 16th. When I return I
intend to get back to working on the tutorials again as much as I can.
- Thank you all for your positive feedback. These past couple of
months I have received so many emails from you expressing your
thanks for the tutorials. I have precious little spare time to devoteto
the tutorials and this makes it all feel worthwhile. Okay, enough of
that...
- Oh yeah, HAM is now up to 2.4! I have not had the time to testmy
tutorials with the new version so 'use at your own risk.'There are a
few neat additions, as well as the usual bug fixes, so itmay be worth
it. If you want to play it safe, just rename your current ham directory
to something like ham_2.30 and then install the new one. You can
then use either version to compile your code. Version 1.3.5 :: 05/19/2002

Apparently there was some extra junk at the bottom of the makefiles
which came with HAM. It could cause compilation to fail. I removed the
junk and updated all the makefiles for the tutorial. He also mentioned
that when the makefile target has the same name as the directory the
files are in, it also could break the build. Version 1.0.0 :: 04/11/2002
