Compunet Reborn - Amiga Client
==============================
Compunet (aka CNet) was a UK interactive online service that ran from 1984 to
1993, serving the Commodore 64 community: user-generated content, electronic
mail ("Courier"), telesoftware downloads, a page editor, multi-user Partyline
chat, and the iconic horizontally-scrolling "duckshoot" menu.
This is the *original 1989 Amiga Compunet client* - recovered and reverse-
engineered from the shipping binary, reconstructed as recompilable C, and re-
pointed from its modem/cnet.device transport at the Compunet Reborn server
over native TCP/IP. The on-the-wire X.25 framing and the entire
application-layer protocol are preserved unchanged; only the hardware
transport is swapped for bsdsocket.library.
Features:
* Directory browsing with the "duckshoot" menu and PETSCII frame rendering
* Electronic mail (Courier) - send, receive, recipient ID lookup
* Downloads and uploads (telesoftware, IFF pictures, text pages)
* The frame/page Editor
* Partyline multi-user chat (via the resident CnetTty viewer)
* LIFE / VOTE / user catalogue
Requirements:
* Workbench / Kickstart 2.1 or higher
* A TCP/IP stack providing bsdsocket.library (Roadshow, AmiTCP, Miami, ...)
installed and online
* A free Compunet Reborn account - register at https://compunet.live/
Usage:
Un-archive the download to get a "Compunet" drawer. If needed, edit the
"TCPHOST" file inside; it is preset to the live server:
vme.compunet.live:6400
Bring your TCP/IP stack online, then double-click the Compunet icon.
Compunet Reborn is an open recreation of the Compunet online service -
connect from a C64, a PETSCII terminal, or the Amiga. Register and read more
