kind people,
anyone heard some rumors about a napster-port for QNX RTP in the next time?
or - even better - a native PhNapster?
if so, please post the concerning URL here 
thanks

Speaking theoretically, Motif Naspter could be ported but that requires
Motif 2.0. There is of course OpenMotif but it is illegal to use it on
RTP as far as I can see.
Bottom line, it could be ported technically but noone would be allowed
to distrubute it
I have tried porting (for pure research purposes of course) and I’m
pretty close but that proved to be hard enough to turn away ‘casual
porters’… Might be easier to port it to Motif 1.x, since there is only
one widget from 2.0 used. And that could be distributed too.
Native client is another story. Should not be hard I just would like to
be sure that they won’t shut down Napster by the time I’m done

daaaamn, man!
keep up the good work!

i don’t think they really can shut down napster - there are so many new servers everyday in napigator (www.napigator.com) from students, freaks etc.
they only could shut down the original napster-servers, they couldn’t hit the whole network, don’t they?
hehehe
so i think a PhNapster would be valuable in every case - if it’s got a napigator built-in (like the BeOS-napster found on bebits.com)

Well, why I’m posting at this time of day? Because I finished it by 4AM
Motif version compiled but turned to be too buggy, damn waste of
efforts. So, we have Lopster now (GTK based). See
http://lopster.sourceforge.net for details.
It works, although I had to nuke transfer errors checking due to lack of
poll(). I’ll post it tomorrow. May be I’ll do some other way to check
for errors, although I can’t see how to check socket for errors
syncronously without poll(). Chris, any undocumented tricks?

thanks for porting it [for research purposes]!
i will use it wisely [for testing only]
-it’s stable
-it’s pretty fast
-it saves directly to my fat32-hd’s
-i love the VERY nice ‘and/or/not’ option in the search window
-i miss napigator [a bit]…
yee-haa!

Actually, I’m working on a PhNapster client as we speak.
The going is slow, so I don’t predict anything usable in the
next couple weeks (it’s just me working on it, and right
now I’m caught up in the middle of midterms) but I hope to have
something fairly usable by the end of November, or December by
the latest.
I’ll keep the newsgroup posted with my results. You can periodically
check the webpage (which is not yet up):
