I was just going through and cleaning up some (really) old mail and came across this. Notice how many of these complaints/problems/suggestions were addressed in 1.2. Thank you C-A for listening and improving. Actually, some of these have also been fixed by PD software (PIPE:, for example), but it's great to see how far we've come. :Message-Id: <8601101219.AA24350@caip.rutgers.edu> :From: ncsu!jcz@caip.rutgers.edu (Carl Zeigler) :Subject: Amiga Questions :Date: 8 Jan 86 14:46:40 GMT : :We have several questions that we would like Commodore to answer: : :1) When using the SER: AMIGADOS device driver, is there any way to : specify that either no or a specific amount of buffering is to be : done. : :2) Are there any plans to implement a PIPE: type device driver and even : command piping under CLI? : :3) Is there any way to catch the calls to the AMIGADOS Execute function : so that a user written CLI can process all commands instead of the : ROM CLI. : :4) What are the possibilities of implementing a form of path searching : for commands. : :5) Is there any light in the crystal ball as to when we might see a way : to specify the current directory in a file name. (incidentially, this was already possible, just use a null string "") : :6) What are the possibilities of implementing LINKS in the filing system? : :7) Are there any provisions for tuning the system performance when : it comes to reading the disks? : :8) Is there any plans for releasing the BCPL compiler? : :That is it for now, we see the AMIGA as an excellent development :environment and are just looking for ways to improve productivity using :the machine. We would appreciate seeing these answers over the NET as :everyone should benefit from the information. : :Thanks, : John A. Toebes, VIII +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ : Jack J.
