I did <ensure the date is correct> ar x libc.a ranlib.sym ar r libc.a ranlib.sym (I went to do an rm ranlib.sym and discovered hat the file had already gone) and after a lot of disc whirring the problem went away. Basically, I altered the time on the symbol table file to be after that on the ar file. Would have been nice to have had a ranlib out of MW C tho...

I had this problem, too, and this is what I did to correct it: 1: Set the system time to something BEFORE the ST epoch. 2: Touch all the lib files 3: reset the system time to the epoch or the real thing This allows you to forget to set the time and still be able to work. -- Leo E.

Since I personally have never succeeded in formatting past 810K I was wondering if this program could really work or if it could really screw up a disk. 2) Has anyone been contacted by LFP about a refund to their now defunct subscription to ST-LOG?

I have seen formatters go out to 83 tracks, 11 sectors reliable ON PARTICULAR DRIVES. You just have to experiment and see how much stuff you can cram on a disk reliably. I have found that 82 tracks, 10 sectors, twisted works fine for me and most of the other drives I encounter, but I still run into one occasionally that will not read a disk. It seems to be the track number that gives drives problems, anything above 80 is not guarenteed. I use 80 tracks, 10 sectors twisted for anything I would cry over if I lost, just to be safe. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------+------------------------------------- Mickey Boyd | "Nobody can be exactly like me. | Even I have trouble doing it."

Hi, Now that I finally own a hard drive, I have had a couple of problems come up. The first is that I forget where it was that I put files, if I haven't used them for a while. Does anyone know of a file finder, preferably in the form of a DA? The second problem has to do with DAs, in that I find myself with too many of them, and I end up with not enough of my 1040's 1 meg to run certain things. Now, I know I could take the sensible approach and simply reboot without all the DAs, but where's the fun in that? Therefore, I am seeking ways of increasing how much memory I have (well, actually how much the computer has, but be that as it may). I might get an upgrade for my ST, but I am also thinking about getting a STe instead, since simms are so much easier to use. I know some software will not run on the STe, but I was wondering if anyone could give me more info on this, since I would hate to get the extra memory and then find that a lot of PD software, games, don't run on it (I am assuming that those are the kind of things that might have trouble?) Also, has anyone tried hooking up PC-ditto2 (the hardware version) to an STe? Or does the software version wor Any help/info would be greatly appreciated.

My apologies if this gets posted twice. I accidentaly posted it from my own account first, but I've never seen anything actually reach the net from that machine, so here I go again...

If you like, I can dust it off. I don't use it because I find it easier to use the find option of the Little Green Selector. (Dang! Now I've got to go register the thing!) You would probably find both available at atari.archive.umich.edu.
