hi,

some links are broken - HLA STDLIB and the standard library reference manual.

thanks.

But the source forge site does not contain the actual library and the the download link at webster doesn't work (you need to change the number to 4, then it works) Though I don't know if all the documentation links work. I know that HLA comes with the library but it should be available under its sourceforge page.

The examples site under sourceforge also is lacking, there aren't any to download normally but I did eventually find something under the SVN browse (I don't think many people will understand repository checkouts instead of normal http downloads, yeah I see the tarball download but I don't think most people will make it that far to see it),

I don't think the content between Webster/Mac.com and Sourceforge is matching, there seems to be different/similar versions available depending on which you normally go to (I still visit Webster for canonical work).

Just noticed that 1.105 was released yesterday (mac.com still indicates 1.104 but filename is different). I haven't downloaded 1.105 yet but I had a problem with 1.104 that when passed the -linux parameter it passed -inux to the linker (it read -l as a parameter to pass -inux to the linker, this was the linux version of 1.104 don't know about the others) [yes I do realize that I was specifying linux output in the linux version]

The StdLib in "binary" form ships with the HLA download, so I don't understand the complaint about it not being available at SourceForge.  Those that visit SourceForge are interested in the source code -- and that definitely is available there in the SVN repository as expected.  I haven't bothered with keeping a current set in the downloads section because the code has been in constant revision for the last year or so.  Now that it is beginning to stabilize, I will think about providing some current downloads.

Current documentation in HTML and RTF formats:

d0d0 stated that the link to the binaries on Webster was bad, I was stating that there are no binaries on sourceforge, so pointing him to sourceforge for binaries is ill advised.
Though yes all documentation is there.

Not everyone visiting sourceforge is *only* interested in source code, I visit quite often for binaries/ISO's (like the gparted LiveCD which is a great backup utility). And not everyone is familiar with SVN/CVS checkouts (good thing sourceforge has tarballs of directories for download). You should have seen the headache I had with cervesa (KDE's CVS utility) just creating an empty module in my own local repo (never did get it to work. Help file advice was just to fill out form and hit import, which it then promptly errs out).

Already I just downloaded 105, you got to hand it to him  :)

Webster is slowly being moved from UCR computers to a Mobile Me account. Some breakage will occur, particularly if you use URLs that travel into the guts of Webster.  At this time, http://webster.cs.ucr.edu should take you to the Mobile Me account where I'm putting all the HLA stuff. You should find what you're looking for there.
Cheers,
