Someone, please help!
Unfortunately, I'm working with an Apple ][+ and trying to use
IIPLUS.UNSHRINK on it. I suppose just this much would typically be well
and good, but my situation is far from satisfactory.
My problem arises whenever the "CHOOSE PATH:" or "UNSHRINK TO 140K DISK:"
menu-boxes come up, when the program proceeds to hang, doing nothing with any
keystrokes except "o", which makes it just list devices online again. The top
one is inversed, as if one might be able to casually scroll through inversed,
current selections until one has decided at which time one might hit return or
space and gleefully be on one's way. With my setup, however, nothing can be
selected from this menu. It's strange, because the equivalent portions of
IIPLUS.SHRINKIT work fine, and the "UNSHRINK FROM:" (a larger box) menu does
too. I've managed to get files unshrunk by avoiding the smaller 'window' menu
altogether via having PREFIX set to the desired disk before doing a
"-IIPLUS.UNSHRINK, Dn", where n is the drive in which the desired disk is not.
Anyway, I'm running things on my Rana One drives (40 track) controlled by
my Rana controller (4 drive capacity). I've two such drives, and none other, so
I haven't been able to troubleshoot with other equipment yet... I'll hopefully
soon be getting a Sider (5 megs) or two, so any pointers concerning these and
][+'s are very welcomed as well. First and foremost, though, I need to unpack
the many NuFX'd things I've accumulated.
BTW, what does NuFX stand for?? It's bugging me... also, how about "GNU"?
ignorance ain't piss
