300,02,08/18/91,GENE PIZZETTA,HOWARD GOLDSTEIN ZSDOS HELP, Yep, I definitely want to know about such things. I will see to it the correct is made. Thanks very much. 301,16,08/18/91,GENE PIZZETTA,JAY SAGE VARIOUS, I got your package and will be working on -- although this is far from a "one-evening project". . Apparently you and Bruce were unable to talk me out of modifying MDINIT. I disassembled it and modified it. That WAS a one-evening project. The new version now has a convenient use that I had never thought of before: it can be used to quickly clear a RAM disk, writing a new T&D file in the process. I discovered this while working on the new ZSLIB release. My scratch RAM disk partition several times ended up with 300-400 files on it. It would have taken quite a while to erase them with ERASE.COM, but MDINIT11 wiped the partition clean in about two seconds! I can't release this version because it's part of a commercial package, but I'm uploading it privately so you can look at it if you're interested. . Sometimes I'm a little stubborn! :-) 302,03,08/18/91,GENE PIZZETTA,JAY SAGE LGET13, BTW, Who uploaded LGET13.LBR? I can't find it in the NEW file. LGET is a standard ZCPR3 utility, but there's no source code included and I don't know who to upbraid. 303,03,08/18/91,GENE PIZZETTA,JAY SAGE ZSLIB, P.S. -- You can remove ZSLIB30 and ZSL30SRC from BETA. I will upload the general release source code ZSL31SRC as soon as disk space is available... 304,12,08/18/91,JAY SAGE,GENE PIZZETTA LGET AND MDINIT, First, I must have picked up LGET13 somewhere else and put it up here. That's why it is not in the NEW file (and also why I tell everyone to read FOR and not just NEW). If my memory serves, Bruce Morgen was the author, so you can try upbraiding him (yeah, just try!). I'll take a look at your MDINIT. Doing that work was a TOTAL WASTE OF TIME, but now that you've done it, you stubborn guy, we might as well take advantage of it :-) Seriously, though, I don't see why we can't release at least the COM file. Does it work on any RAM disk or only the one on the SB180? If it is completely general, then we might want to try to get permission. If it's for the SB180 only, then everyone who can use it has a right to it already, I believe. 305,09,08/18/91,JAY SAGE,BRUCE MORGEN LDIR MATTER, One more suggestion for LDIR. I just ran into a problem with some junk in the comment field of a compressed file. It seems to have sent control characters to my screen and done some weird things. Someone nasty could blow away a terminal configuration that way. I think it would be best to apply a pretty strong filter to the comment field before sending it to the terminal. The other problem I was having (going off into never-never land) has not reappeared with 190. 307,04,08/18/91,GENE PIZZETTA,JAY SAGE MDINIT, MDINIT is completely XBIOS dependant. It determines if XBIOS is running and determines if the drive is a RAM disk before it does anything (which makes it a nearly completely safe utility). It's not of interest to anyone not running XBIOS. 308,13,08/18/91,GENE PIZZETTA,HOWARD GOLDSTEIN ZTIME 1.1, Well, you're right! It doesn't work. First, it requires ZSLIB 3.1 and that wasn't available until today. Then I mistakenly uploaded a version of ZTIME that I had libraried a week ago, before I had experimented with a custom time-setting module. I have now gathered together the correct version, changed it to version 1.1, and uploaded it. This one has been tested with a custom module. I had planned to upload ZSLIB31 at the same time as ZTIME10, but Rob Friefeld's bug report delayed the ZSLIB release by a day. It didn't matter, though, because the CUSTOM equate was not available in the source code for ZTIME10. . It's too late to give you a call, but you have my most sincere thanks for the prompt bug report. 309,03,08/19/91,BEN GREY,HOWARD GOLDSTEIN 22NCE126, Hello Howard... Thank you for the info. Sydex is now located 102 miles from Portland and so I can contact them or check on one of a few other boards for the latest release. Ben.
