I went to http://www.ziplink.net/~maxm/omnigo/index.html
and got oginst and ogftp. ogftp is like omnicom, but a
bit nicer, in that the commands are a bit more user-friendly
(I think). I was able to use it to easily send files back
and forth.
oginst takes apart .gpk files, and uses ogftp (with no arguments,
so you'll do well to configure ogftp the first time to use the right
ports) to send the data to the OGO, in the right directories. It
even does a 'mkdir' which is largely ignored, in case the directories
are missing.
How well do they work? Well, after downloading some programs and
some of the books from FineBind, I found myself with under 20k free
("Okay, maybe I _don't_ need two novels online at once!")... And
after deleting one app getting rid of the bse text editor, intending
to install ogedit (also a text editor, I presume), and removing one
book that was rather large, it's now at a much more comfortable 267k
free (a reboot may have largely helped with that as well).
Compiling oginst and ogftp were trivial. A simple 'cc oginst.c -o oginst'
sufficed for oginst, and 'make' was all I needed for ogftp (it defaulted,
I think, to the GCC compiler), to get them running under SunOS 4.1.x.
In fact, the only headaches I had at all (except for trying to find a
small paper clip after half-deinstalling the editor, then getting the
crazy idea to try to run it!) was getting cables that talked (seems that
DB9 connectors aren't common around the lab where I work!).
I also wrote a simple backup script that backs up all the documents. It
even puts them in a rotation of directories. If anyone is interested,
please let me know. It's fairly straightforward and trivial (I was very
pleased to find that 'GET *' works!).
With Love in Christ,
