#: 153121 S1/General 10-Nov-85 16:47:35 Sb: NULU15 buggy Fm: John Deakin 74015,1624 To: All Just grabbed NULU15 off Poppourri this morning, and tried it out on the previously reported problem(s). When creating a new LBR on a different DU, it now remains on the default drive from which called, as it should. One bug dead. However, the most serious is still there. When extracting a large file (about 70K in this case) from a LBR on my hard disk with 4K blocks, to my floppy with 2K blocks, it trashes the file, with no warning. Only way to check it is run a CRC check on the results. #: 153183 S1/General 11-Nov-85 08:18:48 Sb: #Nulu15 Buggy Too! Fm: Charles Hart 72755,500 To: All Well, the NULU bug has not been fixed. The following display of the directory tracks was taken after using NULU15 to remove a 55k file from KERMT405.LBR on drive C0: (a drive with 8k minimum allocation size) to drive F0: (a drive with 1k minimum allocation size).

Fm: John Deakin 74015,1624 To: Charles Hart 72755,500 (X) Right. And if you take a look at the file, you'll find your Ex 01 & 02, are really both Ex 02 (the THIRD extent). #: 153229 S1/General 12-Nov-85 19:20:15 Sb: #153224-Nulu15 Buggy Too! Fm: Charles Hart 72755,500 To: John Deakin 74015,1624 (X) Did you call Murray? I called once, so I think someone else should advise him that v1.5 continues the tradition... #: 153234 S1/General 12-Nov-85 19:36:25 Sb: #153183-#Nulu15 Buggy Too! Fm: Pete Holsberg 70240,334 To: Charles Hart 72755,500 (X) Oh, no! Are you using LU-mode extraction or FILESWEEP-mode? Do you have the proper syntax in LU-mode? (My success reports were on trials performed in LU-mode.) #: 153235 S1/General 12-Nov-85 19:39:50 Sb: #153234-#Nulu15 Buggy Too! Fm: Charles Hart 72755,500 To: Pete Holsberg 70240,334 (X) filesweep and lu-mode. Seems to make no difference. This is a strange one, no? #: 153246 S1/General 12-Nov-85 20:46:26 Sb: #153235-#Nulu15 Buggy Too! Fm: Pete Holsberg 70240,334 To: Charles Hart 72755,500 (X) See above messages. I got NULU to fail by doing an unnatural extraction. (Unnatural only because of my 6 logical HD drives and a ramdisk; my FD hardly gets any use at all except to upload files people send me! I got yours today, thank you!!)
