[comp.sys.amiga] MED210.LHW on abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov

C503719@UMCVMB.MISSOURI.EDU (Baird McIntosh) (11/04/90)

This has been brought up before, but the file 'MED210.LHW' in the
incoming/amiga directory on abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov is not usable.  The
file decompresses fine with LhWarp 1.40, but the files on the resulting
disk do not work.  Specifically, the file Med2.10 will not run.  Also, the
person who created the file left some of the directories off of the disk,
and to top it off the disk contains a custom bootblock--a so-called virus
killer.

So, DO NOT download this file!  I wish someone would re-upload a lharc'd
file containing the complete MED 2.10 distribution.  If this complete
distribution is available at another site, someone tell me (us).

If the above corrupt file can be removed by the maintainers of the site,
I'd recommend it be done.

  I'm the one who uploaded MED210.LHW to the New Xanth.  I will post
a GOOD LHArc'd one soon...  It wasn't my fault though.  LHWarp 1.40 DOES
NOT work right with Tracksalve 1.31...  That is VERY stupid of the
LHWARP people.  LHWARP 1.40 is the ONLY program I have found that doesn't
work right with Tracksalve.  Will post in a few days to the New Xanth...
Sorry!

I picked up "incoming/amiga/MED210.LHW" and "incoming/amiga/MED210.EXE" and
used "amiga/archivers/lhwarp-1.31.zoo" to reconstruct the disk.  I think
there was some error message, which explained why "incoming/amiga/MED210.EXE"
was there.  Med2.10 from there seams to work fine.  Of course, I didn't boot
off of the disk, I just ran with AmigaDOS 1.3 that came on the A3000 HD.

Just get both "incoming/amiga/MED210.LHW" and "incoming/amiga/MED210.EXE":

Sun  25-Aug-90  09:26:06    66072  incoming/amiga/MED210.EXE
Mon  19-Aug-90  19:46:45   500048  incoming/amiga/MED210.LHW

BTW, result from lharc: 473587 Oct 31 11:13 MED210.lzh.
I haven't tried BITFTP to upload this.  Is it possible?

I sent this repackaged version to Tad Guy.  Thanks to Tad's efforts this is now
available from abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov as /amiga/sounds/tools/med-2.10.lzh.  The
archive was created using lharc-1.21 on my Amiga 3000.  Lharc appeared in
comp.binaries.amiga as util/lharc-1.21/part01 and util/lharc-1.21/part02.
These are on available from abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov as:
08-Oct-90 52445  usenet/comp.binaries.amiga/volume90/util/lharc-1.21/part01.Z
08-Oct-90  1058  usenet/comp.binaries.amiga/volume90/util/lharc-1.21/part02.Z
