I have recently received Gulam v.1.03.05.05 from netlib@lakesys (thanks for the
service!) and in that version I found a bug that wasn't in the beta-test
version:
mv can destroy files!!!! without any message whatsoever.
I found this problem when I was moving files from my hard disk to a reasonably
full floppy disk. After the move, the floppy had zero space left and *all*
the files were deleted from the hard disk. The problem is that not all the
files made it to the floppy!! SO BEWARE!!!
The beta-test version (1.00....) did not have this bug. Mv would abort when
the disk is full, and the files not *completely* transferred are deleted.
By the way, when will Gulam accept foreign language keyboards without one
having to hack the GULAM.PRG file? I still think that it's the best shell
around! Keep up the good work.
As always, I don't yet (;-{) receive any of the newsgroups -- so reply directly
to me. Thanks.
