Many people reported having problems in extracting files for my
cable tester. Somebody else complained about compiler errors. I am
pretty sure they used the wrong tools, since I was able to extract
and compile the files _taken from the web site_ without problems.

The tester is contained in a gzipped tar archive, which can be
decoded with gzip and tar. PD implementations of both exist for
most operating systems, including MSDOS. Note that GZIP != ZIP
and I doubt that the various ZIP decompressor which DOS people are
familiar with can handle GZIPPED files.

The sources compile with Timo Rossi's PICASM, for which a pointer
exists on my pic page.

For this project only, given the number of messages I received,
the exploded sources are at the following URL

        http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/tester/

Note that I will _not_ try to keep this directory up to date, the
latest release will always be in the "tester.tgz" archive.

I understand that people would prefer ZIP archives and sources
which compile with MPASM. However, I don't run DOS/Windows and I
would waste too much time in releasing my stuff using DOS tools
(and I prefer to spend my time in producing new code). On the other
hand, the tools I use are all very simple to use and freely available,
so you just need a few minutes to upgrade yourself.

        Cheers
