I wonder.... Is the "home" directory and the "project" directory something that could be used to provide multi user access to this environment from a web server? I already have run SDCC and a few other free C compilers on the piclist.com server in such a way that anyone could, given access, post their source files and have them compiled on the server. E.g. http://www.piclist.com/techref/compile.asp?src=JMN-EFP-786\compare.c&tool=sd cc The idea was to make it easy to try different languages. E.g. http://www.piclist.com/techref/compile.asp?src=JMN-EFP-786\compare.c&tool=ht cl It is difficult with C compilers because there is seldom one source file and one output. Usually there are a ton of includes, multiple source files and so on. I was trying to set it up so that a very basic C file with all the includes taken out could be shared between the compilers with the server prepending the appropraite include files for each one, but it because obvious that it would not be workable in most cases. It requires a real file access to the server rather than just a simple web form with a text box where you could post code and get the compiled result back. But perhaps the OCDE (Olins Current Development Environment ) would be well served by not requiring people to install it locally and do simple, one source file, one off, builds via a web server? Registered members at piclist.com have a directory already on the server. They can post text files including .asm or .c files. If the "home" directory could be the same for all the users, e.g. http://www.piclist.com/techref/member/ and the project file could be the member directory e.g. http://www.piclist.com/techref/member/JMN-EFP-786/ then each member could compile one "project" at a time. Any interest? Any reason why that could potentially cause my server to get killed? --- James Newton: PICList webmaster/Admin mailto:jamesnewton@piclist.com 1-619-652-0593 phone http://www.piclist.com/member/JMN-EFP-786 PIC/PICList FAQ: http://www.piclist.com -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
