i) Terminating a running program :
Is there a way to terminate a running program by typing ^C or
delete ? I notice that many programs can be terminated with ^C,
but this doesn't work with every program. I understand that one
has to make AES calls in order to sense a ^C. But if a program
is stuck in a loop which does not contain an AES call, there is
no graceful way to terminate and exit.(I think it should be the
responsibility of the OS to intercept a ^C and stop the program.)
ii) Updates to Developer's package :
I had returned the 'non-disclosure agreement' soon after buying
my developers' package in October 85. I have not received any
updates to it since. Have there been any?
iii)uudecode, uuencode:
Someone remarked about problems with uudecode. I have also been
totally unsuccessful in getting uudecoded programs to work. I'd
picked up the (IBM) C source off the net and then adapted it for
ST. The program seems to work correctly for concocted test files.
Is it possible that uuencoded files are being damaged in transit?
If someone has already solved this problem, please help. Else I
shall go through the debugging procedure and post the program
(along with a BASIC version).
