In article <318@laas.laas.fr> ralph@laas.laas.fr (Ralph P. Sobek) writes: %From time to time, ARC on my ST would throw up 2 bombs! I seem now to %have located the problem: when a file has an invalid (0) date, the %verbose listing aborts. This is for both versions of arc: ARC 5.12 %and ARC 5.21b. It seems even to effect a straight listing (-l) in %ARC-5.12. This bug exists also in the Unix version of ARC 5.12, but %the Unix version of ARC 5.21 produces: % %Name Length Stowage SF Size now Date Time CRC %============ ======== ======== ==== ======== ========= ====== ==== %FOO.BAR 12714 Crunched 51% 6263 0 (null) 28 0:31a c8bb % %Whoever has the source to ST ARC, would that person look into this? %It's not unlivable, but it is useful to have some details about what %has been ARCed. The problem might come about files being archived on %a variety of machines. Therefore a more robust ARC is due. I fixed this in the Unix version a while back, but haven't posted new ST binaries in a while. If people want it, I'll send off my current version to Steven Grimm... -- -=- PrayerMail: Send 100Mbits to holyghost@father.son[127.0.0.1] and You Too can have a Personal Electronic Relationship with God!
