DiskMaster 2.5RC7 released! : Comment 1 of 10 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Iggy Drougge on 31-Dec-2002 20:52 GMT | This must be the first time I've seen an Amiga program packed with ZIP. Or is it still an Amiga program? |

Posted by marktime on 01-Jan-2003 01:35 GMT | In reply to Comment 1 (Iggy Drougge): well, maybe you are too lazy to spend one minute to find out for yourself, so I will help.
It is an amiga program archived using zip. |

Posted by Rudolph Riedel on 01-Jan-2003 09:41 GMT | In reply to Comment 1 (Iggy Drougge): ZIP just doesn't seem to have Y2k Problems and it preserves
amiga file-comments. So most files in the .zip's on my site have
the file-version in their comments and most files of TransGuide.zip
additionally have the date of the last change in their comments.
Apart from this LZX is just a dead product and LHA seems to be as well.

Posted by Mathew on 01-Jan-2003 14:36 GMT | Personally I am a BIG fan of Diskmaster, have been using it for years, have tons custom scripts for it, and would be lost without it. It's one of the worse things I have to deal with when using other platforms, NO DISKMASTER!
It does have a few glitches with the file archatecture of AmigaXL, but I'm hoping that will be fixed. |

Posted by Mathew on 01-Jan-2003 14:51 GMT | Ohhh! I just downloaded the latest update. I knew I was a couple revisions behind, but this was a great update. It fixed a couple of the problems with AmigaXL, some crashes and rename problems.
I did have to make changes with my startup, as it wasn't the right name, and the windows were open in different places, but those were quickly fixed. |

Posted by Rudolph Riedel on 01-Jan-2003 15:07 GMT | In reply to Comment 4 (Mathew): Well, I haven't heard of any problems with AmigaXL so far...
And Jody Tierney my co-author is a happy user of Amithlon and even
compiling DM2 with SAS-C under Amithlon.
If you still have problems with XL just drop me a specific report
and I'll try to have a look into it.

Posted by Daniel Miller on 02-Jan-2003 09:59 GMT | In reply to Comment 6 (Rudolph Riedel): Just wanted to say that Diskmaster has always been a GREAT file management
tool for me personally, even back in the day when I had an 1 meg A500 with
two floppy drives. I am glad that someone has taken the initiative to keep
it current. PS: I also have used it on the Pegasos, where it is superfast. |

Posted by Rudolph Riedel on 02-Jan-2003 18:18 GMT | In reply to Comment 7 (Daniel Miller): No promises yet but there may be a native version of DM2 for MorphOS.
There are no assembly parts left in the source and each module basically
compiles with VBCC - 'only' linking failed last time I tried.
But I really couldn't afford to buy a Pegasos myself, not even if it would
excite me like it seem to excite so many others... Regards - Rudolph |

Posted by Mathew on 02-Jan-2003 22:36 GMT | All the problems I have with Diskmaster and AmigaXL seem to not exist now that I have the latest version. Older versions would crash the Amiga side of things if you tried to hexread a file, and if you renamed a file it wouldn't come up right unless you reloaded the directory. Like I said, not happening any more so no problem. |

Posted by Rudolph Riedel on 03-Jan-2003 11:13 GMT | In reply to Comment 9 (Mathew): At least one bug in 2.5RC7 has just been reported to me. Filesizes of 10/10x/10xx/10xxx
are displayed wrong as 1/10/10x ... - this applies to the biggest files
in a dir. So 2.5RC8 will be out before monday... Regards - Rudolph |
