I have 2 hard drives which I use to run a BBS and do miscell. work. I ran
into a rather odd bug/problem with AW 1.3 recently. I found that if I try to
access (via List file...) a large subdirectory, AW would say that the directory
Im after is "segmented" and treat it as if it was ("insert and press
space..."). After pressing space a few times, I eventually get a very messed
up listing of the directory. I get duplications (or triplicates or even worse)
of the first few files in the subdirectory. I would like to be able to have
larg subdirectories as it makes running a BBS and its maintenance much easier.
I have >40Megs overall and dont mind using em, but I do mind having to
restructure my system so that I can use AW (1.3) to list out my directories.
It seems to be related to the number of entries. If I have over 50 (or close
there abouts), AW will barf. Since this is near the max size of any root
directory (I forget the actual number allowed in a root) I thought it may be an
inherent problem/bug w/AW. Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know
a solution (other than not using directories larger than 50 or so entries)?
Has this been fixed in newer revs of AW? Anyone?
