Hi All,

Last week I commited the plcshutdown module, which will shutdown the plc when a configurable (in the config file) plc point is set. This same
executable will behave as a command line utility and will shut down the plc imediately when called with the 'now' parameter, such as: $plcshutdown now

I have been slowly removing all the perl demo scripts and I believe I have just about finished.

Recently I also upgraded the cmm memory management algorithm, but most users will not notice this.

I changed the underlying plc I/O library some time ago, which broke the modbus module. I would now like to work on getting the modbus module to
compile once again. Phil, is this OK by you?

Aditya, I know you were considering working on this too once you got round to installing the plc code, but there are plenty other protocols you could implement, and I'd like to get this over and done with as soon as possible. Is this OK?

Once we get this working once again, there is very little in the way of making a first binary level release. Maybe just some work on the manual,
and upgrading the dio48 device driver to compile under kernel 2.4

The autotools would come in handy for the release... (hint, hint, ;-} )

Is there anybody willing to help out with any of the above? For the manual, what we need most urgently is to turn the sample linuxplc.conf
file (http://mat.sourceforge.net/manual/appendix/linuxplc.conf.html) into some coherent sentences and paragraghs.


Cheers,

Mario.

Well, I've started to put together something. Currently, I'm able to build the stuff in ./lib with autoconf and automake. I'm sorry that the
progress is slow, but I'm under hard pressure at work. I will continue during the weekend.

Regards,

Peter
