I have Craft 2.0 Program Development Environment (shell and editor) from ComMedia. To my disappointment the shifted cursor keys stopped functioning as I upgraded to TOS 1.4 (Swedish version). Any similar experiences? Actually, the same problem was present when using KBEXT by Ronald Waldi. BTW, Craft is my favourite shell, I don't use gulam, my earlier favourite, any more. To be able to pipe and set mydate = `date` and play much more creatively with shell variables is sufficient to make the difference to me. I am just a happy customer, nothing else. lippu@csc.fi

On the subject of shells: does any shell handle the UNIX element of here
documents (the << mechanism)? I'm mostly familiar with msh, which doesn't

I tried posting this once from my site already but there seems to be
something wrong with our news program, as I can't read it from this site.
NOTE: This message is from depeche@calvin.cs.mcgill.ca; please do not
reply to this address.
I just upgraded my 1040ST to tos 1.4. I really like the speedup of the
hard disk but there are a few questions I have about it.
1] When I format a disk from the desktop, nomatter what disk or what
drive I am using, I get 'bad disk' errors when it nears track 79 or so.
These disks format and work fine if I use Neodesk,. Anyone else have
simmilar problems?
2] I used to use PQ.PRG, a background print buffer by Wayne S.
Arczyinski, but this no longer works on tos 1.4. I sent mail to him
asking about new versions but haven't gotten a reply from him yet. Does
anyone know of a program whic does the same basic thing but also works
on tos 1.4? Spool11.Tos will not do as it is much too slow for my
printer. I need one very urgently!!
3] I have a supra 30mb hard disk which at the moment is setup to
autoboot. When I had tos 1.0 and if I wanted to disable autoboot for one
session (i.e. to play games) I held ctrl-alt-lshift and the floppy would
boot instead of the hard disk. This doesn't work on tos 1.4. Does anyone
know how I can remedy this? (At the moment I have to unplug the DMA
cord whenever I want to boot directly from floppy).
any and all help would be appreciated, and my sincere apologies if my
previous messages did get posted to your site and this is the third
time you are seeing them, but I want to make sure...
