Todd,
Excuses me for writing to you via the net, but i'm not able to reach you
directly.
I tried to use HDSCAN (1.121) posted recently on comp.sys.atari.st. I dont
remember exactly the date of the posting but it was near 04/04/87. This
posting was in 3parts (2 for the program, 1 for utilitys..).
When i edit the program, i notice that there was not any ~ (tilde) chars.
But spaces were replaced by `. So i dont do any modification and after having
concatenate the 2 parts, go to transfer it to the ST (via kermit). Then i
uudecode it , using Dumas uudecode, with no errors, and finally de-arc it
with no problem too.
I do the same job with hdrs_othr.arc succefully.
So i double click on HDSCAN12.PRG. The main screen came right. The ? prompt
was blinking. And then the problem appeared: I typed A (i tried either B
and N with the same results). The program began to "access" drive A, and
then "access" Hard disk (access light blinking) and then a screen appeared
full of garbage (like if you try neochrome on a mono screen). The program
continue accessing the Hard disk during 3 or 4 seconds (My god, what can it
do ??),and finally the system go blocked (no bombs).
RESET.
So, is it the posting that it 's bad ? Or can i try replace ` by spaces ??
Have you already got the problem ? Help needed. In the seeing of the main
screen , it seems to be a very useful program, i want need it...
