I have ShellPlus v 2.2 running under NitrOS9 and the 63C09 CPU, and archived my
|
||
|
whole Users directory with this command line: AR1.92 -ub13 Experiment *
|
||
|
|
||
|
And had NO problems whatever, the resulting file was 171076 bytes in size...
|
||
|

So I gues it is NOT the ShellPlus that is giving You problems...

I think it is the _version_ of ShellPlus you're using that's the key. Where did
|
||
|
you get version 2.2?

I got Shellplus v2.2 from a Vancouver BBS, and StG BBS called Sci_Fi, dont know
|
||
|
if it is still in operattion, I tryed to logon to Sci_Fi but cant get a
|
||
|
connection... If You want the ShellPlus v2.2 I could send it to You via
|
||
|
Email, that is if I can find it in my software library...
|
||
|
|
||
|
By the way, the Shellplus v 2.2 I am running also got patched to run in Native
|
||
|
mode on my 63C09 CPU...

If there's no restrictions on the file, go ahead and upload it to the CoCo3

library. Might be just the answer folks are looking for to solve their problems

with the new version of AR due out.

I have downloaded AR_BET.ar, unarchived it and have no problem using 13bit
|
||
|
compression.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I have a CoCo III with 1meg of ram, and one 512K RAM cartridge, B&B sub-system,
|
||
|
running NitrOS9 from GaleForce, with a 6309C installed... Also had at the time
|
||
|
my StG BBS running in Term window, while I was using AR1.92 in window /W1...
|
||
|
|
||
|
Running SMAP gave me 41 Pages free (10Kbytes Free)... I archived my whole
|
||
|
Sysop directory and the resulting file was 171076 bytes in size...
|
||
|
|
||
|
My command line was: AR1.92 -ub13 Experiment *
|
||
|
|

So on my system everyting works!!!

It's been a long time, but I believe that I tried that patch.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I removed it, but maybe some of the later versions fixed the problem I
|
||
|
encountered.
|
||
|
|
||
|
With a Ramdisk pretty full of files (and with ":" enabling wildcards),
|
||
|
|
||
|
:del /r0/*
|
||
|
|
||
|
required a reset to recover. As I recall, the lockup was visually quite
|
||
|
spectacular... The wildcard expansion exceeded the parameter space allotted to
|
||
|
"del", due to the patch.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This prompted me to create the patched version of the Microware Shell called
|
||
|
(both internally and externally) "ohell".
|
||
|
|
||
|
But, as I noted, perhaps some of the other patches overcome this problem.
|
||
|
|

John,
|

That due to the CIS formatter. You need to either indent each line with a
|
||
|
space, place a period in the first position of each line or use the post
|
||
|
unformatted option in IX.

I broke down and bought a Hayes 24+Fax. It seemed reasonably-prices so decided
|
||
|
to go with it. Of course my CoCo cannot handle the fax, and using the Disto
|
||
|
4-in-1 board, cannot use the modem's flow control for the advanced features of
|
||
|
the error-correcting/compression stuff (board has DTR/RTS hardwired) it seems
|
||
|
to work well. The other modem worked well, really, except for that darn
|
||
|
off-hook condition. (I have to pay long-distance, and a time or 2, forgot to
|
||
|
turn if off until several minutes after logoff.) I may try to see if I can
|
||
|
send that or another modem in for repair (cost could be as much as for a new
|
||
|
modem, but I might give it a try).
|
||
|
Well, TTYL. Tnx for the suggestions.

that does the same about the same thing as fixing the init module. Put p2init
|
||
|
in your /dd/CMDS directory and add a line "p2init fpu" to your startup file.
|
||
|
Assuming you still have fpu in your OS9boot file, this will let you use Ultra
|
||
|
C. I did it this way on my System IV/PT68K-4, which _does_ have init.a by the
|
||
|
way, just because I was too unambitious to fix my init. P2init is handy for
|
||
|
people whose system vendors did not supply all the files and manuals they
|
||
|
should have. Your init module should be pretty short so you could run your
|
||
|
init module through debug to reserve assemble a "source."

I'm not about to use debug on the init module to generate a source file for
|
||
|
init.a, IMS should have included it on my OSK disks. At any rate, I feel that
|
||
|
the moded patch to init is more desirable than running another command in my
|
||
|
start. Thanks for the info, though!

Sb: #OS9 Serial Port Problem
|
||
|
Fm: Bob Rea 72733,250
|
||
|
To: All
|
||
|
|
||
|
I am fighting a nasty problem in OS9 with a serial port (Matrix SI02)
|
||
|
transferring binary data. Our code (device driver and application) works
|
||
|
perfectly on the test bench with a driver simulating the other system we are
|
||
|
exchanging data with. In the field, however, the process is killed with a
|
||
|
signal 3 within 3 minutes of connecting the systems together. And we don't
|
||
|
receive the heartbeat message from the other system that happens every 3
|
||
|
seconds.
|
||
|
|
||
|
We put a data monitor on the other system and it is behaving exactly as
|
||
|
specified and exactly as the simulation code we have. We can detect no
|
||
|
extraneous data bytes in the information stream.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The symptoms act as though the buffer in the device driver in over- flowing.
|
||
|
That will cause a signal 3 to be sent killing our application and the 3 minutes
|
||
|
is just about what it takes to fill the buffer given it's size and data
|
||
|
transfer rate. The question is: What could possibly be happening to work
|
||
|
perfectly on the test bench and not at all out in Nebraska (we unfortunately
|
||
|
are in Columbus, Ohio)?
|
||
|
|
||
|
The first thing to suspect is a hardware problem, but that does not explain why
|
||
|
no data is reaching the application. The overflow could be caused by a bad
|
||
|
cable that is negating RTS/CTS (XON/XOFF doesn't work with our binary transfer
|
||
|
stream). But it is hard to imagine a hardware problem that inhibits the
|
||
|
transfer of data from the device driver to the application. When we first
|
||
|
installed the system, it did work correctly.... so we know it can work.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If anyone has fought through this problem and can help point me in the right
|
||
|
direction, it would be a great help.

The first thing I'd do would be to double check the settings in the serial
|
||
|
device descriptor...are you sure it is set the same as your test system?
|
||
|
|
||
|
Next, you might want to write some test code to monitor with _gs_rdy() if
|
||
|
anything is getting into the serial port buffer.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Not much...but I hope it helps 'turn on a light'.

Is it a CoCo? The 6551 rts signal will cause an incoming character to dropped

on the on to off transition. I ran into this while trying to interface a

I am having a problem with the screen program in the OSK downloads here. I have
|
||

the following equipment:
|
||
|
|
||
|
PT68K4 68000 16 mhz 4 megs ram Color VGA card OS9 v2.4 MWC 3.2
|
||
|
|
||
|
The program will run ok, I can create multiple screens and switch around, do
|
||
|
dirs, etc. The problem is that when I run programs I get funky errors. Error
|
||
|
003:232 is one and error 103 is another.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Has anyone else run into problems like this with screen?

I've also run into situations where screen just goes south for the winter. I

can't narrow it down yet as it's an infrequent occurance. If I'm able to

On this matter of customer support on CIS. As you know, I've been supporting
|
||
|
folks for my products...however, most of this has been via mail, on on this
|
||
|
forum. Frankly, I have no objections to doing it publicly...most questions
|
||
|
probably have a wider audience (except for yours <g>).
|
||
|
|
||
|
Guess what I'm wondering is: just what is the policy? I try to be real quiet in
|
||
|
promoting my products. But for folks who have already bought??
|
||
|
|
||
|
Also, I'm not sure how many other 'vendors' are active. Maybe we should have a
|
||
|
'vendors forum' where questions of this nature can be directed. Mind you, if no
|
||
|
other vendors are going to be active there's probably not much point.

Bob, what follows are my opinions only and should I mis-speak, I'm sure Wayne
|
||
|
will correct me.
|
||
|
|
||
|
We welcome participation from any vendor. The only caution I'd need to add
|
||
|
would be that blatant advertising will not be allowed. Product annoncements are
|
||
|
encouraged. Technical discussions on the product are welcome. Open examples of
|
||
|
technical support actually do more good that ads, in my opinion.
|
||
|
|
||
|
We have a private area set aside for the Vendors use ...but unfortunately, it
|
||
|
never saw much activity. It originally came about during the Frank Hogg/IMS
|
||
|
flame wars a couple of years ago. There should be a file in the library
|
||
|
describing it's purpose and how to gain access. Look for VENDOR.TXT
|
||
|
|
||
|
As far as other active Vendors on the forum ... lessee, there's Zack, John
|
||
|
Strong, Frank Hogg, Ed Gresick, Mark Griffith, Bill Dickhaus, and Mike Haaland
|
||
|
just off the top of my head. I'm sure there are more.
|
||
|
|
||
|
We stand ready to assist the OS9/OSK vendors in any way we can. I've been a
|
||
|
strong supporter of using CompuServe forums in this manner, so if you have any
|
||
|
ideas on how we can better use the resources at hand, drop me a note.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Tell you what. I'd like to start a file listing all the vendors that are active
|
||
|
on the CompuServe OS9 forum. Let's include Company name, User Id, mail address,
|
||
|
phone number and a _brief_ description of produts and services offered (this is
|
||
|
not a catalog or price list, just a general description). Let's limited it to
|
||
|
say ... 5 lines.
|
||
|
|
||
|
We'll compile the data and post it in the Library with a pointer that stays in
|
||
|
the News Flash Announcement.
|
||
|
|

What do you think?
