patch to fix dcfldd 1.0 not compiling

Anonymous — Fri, 14 Nov 2003 18:19:51 -0000

The 1.0 version of dcfl-dd provided in the downloads
section on this project will not compile correctly (at
least on Debian; attempted with GCC3 and GCC2.95). The
file src/dcfldd.c is missing a backslash at the end of
a line in the usage message.

The enclosed patch should fix the problem. I'm not a
programmer and have never submitted a patch file to a
project before. If this patch doesn't work, try adding
on a '\n\' manually to the end of line 345 in dcfldd.c.

more robust version of mac-robbers.sh

Attached is a more robust version of the
mac-robbsers.sh shell script, for use with the
graphical interface. Things to note. First, I put the
mac-robbers directory into a variable (DIR). Then I
`mkdir -p "$DIR"' (ignoring errors) in order to make
sure the directory structure exists. (This solved my
problem.) Then in the loop, I check for existence of
the directory, and report error if it doesn't exist.
In general, I recommend putting all variables to be
used as paths in double quotes. This way the standard
file utils will be able to handle any paths with spaces
in them. I don't think this will be an issue for this
particular script, but I think it's good practise.
