Hello everyone, I just got my copy of Amiga Hack 1.0.3d. All in all, a VERY nice release! I have found a few bugs I would like to mention though: 1) The 'o' command (Options) is really 'O' (Large 'O', not small 'o'). Also, the pulldown menu does a small 'o', and comes back 'Invalid command'. 2) The option Tombstone seems to be accepted by Option command or in the HACK103.CNF file, but is not displayed by the Option command to list options. 3) A CLI command 'HACK -W' does NOT enter wizard mode, a -W or -w will allow you to play as a wizard, but not wizard mode. Does your name also have to be 'Wizard' to get this? The docs don't say so. 4) Pulldown menus do not always do the correct command. The ',' (Take object) from the menu prompts "Long or Short help ?" 5) The '!' command (AmigaDOS command/Shell command) does not work at all. Phil Hunt

Thanks, I spent many months on it (almost 5 monts tracking down 1 count 'em 1 bug). Also I have to thank the graphics of Jeff Lee which I think really helped the final product.

Never noticed this. It will be fixed in the next release. > 2) The option Tombstone seems to be accepted by Option command or in the > HACK103.CNF file, but is not displayed by the Option command to list options. It might not be in the Option help, but it is documented in the Hack103.cnf file. > 3) A CLI command 'HACK -W' does NOT enter wizard mode, a -W or -w will allow > you to play as a wizard, but not wizard mode. Does your name also have to be > 'Wizard' to get this? The docs don't say so. The actual option is HACK -D. It is a change that Don Kneller made (I think) and I forgot to update the documentation when I integrated his latest code. > 4) Pulldown menus do not always do the correct command. The ',' (Take object) > from the menu prompts "Long or Short help ?" Actually, this is documented. I put in the menu stuff rather quickly. If you select any item for which a list would normally be displayed to select from, it puts in the question mark for you. Unfortunately, when there is nothing to be displayed, a message is printed and then the ? is taken as the help command. I think I have a way to fix this in the next release, but for now it is more useful to have the automatic list display feature. > 5) The '!' command (AmigaDOS command/Shell command) does not work at all. It hasn't worked in any release beyond the first one. (Isn't that what PopCLI is for anyway). I forgot to take it out of the menu in the latest compilation. SInce it had already gone through some internal QA, I didn't want to have to go through retesting for a simple recompilation. Thanks for the input. I will make sure they get fixed in the next release. -- John A.
