43 SILLY question here, but what are the precedant "$"s doing on lines 1-19 on

44 DB? Here's another one: Why isn't BWII "cycled" in the same manner as BW?

45 (ie: DB-->archive DA-->DB 'fresh'-->DA)

|
|
51 Hmmmm, no headers here for some reason. Sigh..... something went wrong...
|
|
52 Why the "$"? that indicates that the line is protected and cannot be changed,
|
|
53 deleted, or killed. As to why no cycling of disks here as with BWI, that is
|
|
54 because the data file definition has changed between "disks" and the old
|
|
55 data can no longer be run here because it doesn't fit the newer format.
|
|
56 The old disks are available in the archives though.

68 CM: KI still on the drawing board... (*sigh*). It seems there isn't any

69 efficient way to clean up things after marking the line KIlled, so brute force
|
|
70 will probabaly be the solution. KIlling sessions and line ranges will be
|
|
71 slow. Hopefully we won't need it much.

75 Hmm, still having header problems.... rats. I wonder what is wrong?
|
|
76 For now I'll be changing it to "pass wind" I still have modem control
|
|
77 problems to work out, and the headers seem to be giving fits here.
|
|
78 Milch: I've added in Unprotect and protect commands and a hack into the
|
|
79 del and undel to support it, but it still needs work there seems to be
|
|
80 a bug of sorts in both commands. Oh well. That's what i get for a quick
|
|
81 1/2 hours worth of hacking...
|
|
82 I'm going to be concentrating my energies on getting the thing to
|
|
83 work fully with the modem this week in the hopes of getting it on-line
|
|
84 saturday night.
|

85 Any ideas on the wake?

100 Mikey: The same hack in DElete and UNdelete to check for protected lines
|
|
101 needs also be put into KIll. (Why does UNdelete check protection? What use
|
|
102 would a deleted, protected line be?)

104 ***************************************************************
|
|
105 My first thought was "protect isn't much use on deleted lines", but
|
|
106 after thinking about it, there might be a case where a "god level"
|
|
107 delete occured that was desired to stay deleted possibly so that
|
|
108 it won't show to those who aren't in the inner circle, but not
|
|
109 allow a undelete on the stuff. I can't think of a specific instance
|
|
110 where that might be, but it doesn't take much to disallow undelete
|
|
111 on protect, and in fact if we merge the code together it might be
|
|
112 easier to code. As for why it is in there in the first place...
|
|
113 simple, delete was coded first, and then undelete was created by
|
|
114 copying the delete procedure. Thus......
