Has anyone fixed the mgcmd and mgstats programs that come with
the Webster Multiport Gateway - they are supposed to allow a
Unix machine to interogate the gateway for stats or give it
simple commands. I have version 1.03 and this definitely
doesn't work on Apollos. I suspect it is something to do with
alignment, but I've tried the simple method of stopping the C
compiler be over clever (with -natural) and then I'm getting
reports of mixups between word and longword pointers. This
smacks of some declarations being wrong. Before I try and trace
it, has someone else got a more up to date/fixed version of
these? Apollo or non apollo. Or alternatively, has someone got
working sources for OS10?
