Sb: #NULU11 BUG!
Fm: <MoM> John Deakin 74015,1624
To: All NULU users
I have checked out NULU11 (with the "fix") and find that Charles Hart is
quite correct in his earlier messages.
Additionally, I happened upon yet another bug, although less serious. All
the following were captured by REDIRection of the screen on my Kaypro 10. A
and B are two logical hard disks (same physical disk), and drive C is a
floppy. The h/d has 4K and the floppy has 2K allocation. This problem does
not show up when operations are confined to the hard disk, only when
extracting the file from a LBR on the h/d to the floppy.
This will take several messages, and I apologize for taking up so much
space. However, many people are using this program, and rumors of bugs have
not been made clear until Charles reported this problem. I hope that
someone with the source code and the knowledge will correct this problem, as
this has the potential to be a fine program. I particularly like the
"Extract and UnSQueeze option with one command, but after this testing, I
will scrap this version of the program.
CNAMES is my master copy of CPMSIG names and PPN's, and is a straight ASCII
text file.
B1>PIP C:=B:CNAMES <- make a good copy on the floppy
B1>DIFF CNAMES,C:CNAMES
DIFF Version 1.6
Source File 1 -- B 1: CNAMES .
Source File 2 -- C 1: CNAMES .
NO Differences Noted in Files <- we know this one is good
<Let's also do a CRC check>
C1>CHEK *.* <- this is the PIPped copy
