Yup, I have the phone number now: 502-425-9560. Thanks. Their cost is $44 with

Sb: ar beta testers needed
|
|
Fm: Carl Kreider 71076,76

To: all

I just dropped off a beta version of the new ar in the utils dl (9 I hope).
|
|
Could anyone who still runs an 09 check it out and report back?
|
|
|
|
In summary, it is smaller, faster, and has more features. A clear case of
|
|
having your cake and eating it too, right? Well, not really.
|
|
|
|
It is actually a bit bigger with the delete code in it (I could leave that out
|
|
if no one cares...) but it should still fit on two pages of coco memory. How
|
|
much is left at the top of the process space on the coco? How big can it grow
|
|
before it takes three pages?
|
|
|
|
It is twice as fast (unless you are disk I/O bound). I can't help much here
|
|
without burning memory needed for compression tables for disk buffers.
|
|
|
|
It will still extract from old archives (make by ar 1.2) and will still make
|
|
old archives. I can't say whether it will extract from archives made with any
|
|
of the modified versions (unless they didn't change the compression).
|
|
|
|
It will compress much better. In fact, I now default to compressing binaries
|
|
since it generally helps. It defaults to 13 bit, but you can choose anyting in
|
|
9 to 13. I can get more on OSK, but I can't get more than 13 bit tables in 64K
|
|
(compression takes 48K, burst takes 32K). You won't make or break 13 bits on
|
|
LI, but 12 should be ok there. I presume you will let me (and others) know ;)
|
|
|
|
Delete isn't quite right yet - it won't do more than one file at once.
|
|
|
|
I haven't put in the directory walk code yet (so naming a directory on the
|
|
command line would archive that tree). Or is this not desireable?
|
|
|
|
Type ar2 -? for a synopsis.

Anybody out there have a handle on a PC-based 6809 development system that is
|
|
compatible with the VAX-based MICROBENCH 6809 Development System? What we are
|
|
trying to do is set up a software development facility that is PC based, but
|
|
can readily use source code that was developed on our parent company's system.
|
|
Any suggestions would be welcomed.
|

Thanks,

For what it is worth, I would pay a few bucks for a good cribbage game.

I know where just tell me how much.

Keith, I am going to try to sell a few copies of the crib game. Probably be
|
|
only 20 bucks. I'm going to work on some docs this week and make sure it is all
|
|
working. Then I'll post an announcement here listing all the gory details.
|
|
Thanks for the interest!

Geeeeeeez, and all this time I have been putting a separate compiler
|
|
command after EVERY ".r" file in the list. That's the only way I could get it

How do!

Does anyone here have any familiarity at all with the Phillips CD-I player?
|

This is the machine that they are selling at Sears, etc. that plays all those
|
|
educational disks. Well, anyhoo... That machine runs on OS-9 on a 68070
|
|
processor.
|
|
|

Also... Has anyone had any experience with Ultra Science's port of OS9 to the
|
|
Macintosh?

About the only familiarity I have with CDI is beacuse I tried it out at Sears
|
|
last year. At the time I thought it was severely overpriced. My MM1 uses the
|
|
68070 CPU and other chips used in the CDI machines. However, no CDI
|
|
capabilities yet :-(

Interesting you should ask the question here, when I know f'sure you're a spy
|
|
from the MultiMedia forum. Makes me wonder a) how many other CD-I people also
|
|
monitor this forum, and b) whether there's any real relevance in the machine
|
|
happening to run OS-9 rather than, say, MS-DOS. Would it make a lot of
|
|
difference to the way we develop applications?
|
|
|
|
As a CD-I software developer, I find the discussions in this forum, although
|
|
occasionally interesting, are mostly about getting hardware and drivers to
|
|
work, preoccupations somewhat removed from the problems I usually face. I do
|
|
however echo your interest in OS-9 on the Mac.
