RAS version 1.01 - Redundant Archive System
See the file INSTALL for generic installation instructions, but see also
the ras-specific installation notes below.
See the file COPYING for licensing terms.
See the file NEWS for differences from the previous versions.
Ras is a program that adds m extra files to a set of n files, such that the
contents of the n original files can be regenerated from any n of the n+m
original files and extra files. Normally, these extra files will all be 6
bytes larger then the largest of the original files, but ras has a mode in
which the extra files are exactly the same size as the original files.
Ras was originally intended for transporting a large file split over several
floppy disks in a manner resilient to the corruption of a few of the disks,
and a pair of example shell scripts to do this (rassplit and rasmerge) is
included in the distribution.
See http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/nc/ for more details.
Installing
==========
Personally, for gcc under Linux, I like to set the environment variable
CFLAGS to '-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer' before running configure (to get lots
of optimisation).
If options.c fails to compile try adding the line "#define USE_GETOPT_QD"
to the end of common.h
If something else goes wrong and you can't get it to work, please get
in touch with me at the address below, I may be able to fix it.
