Since the METS were rain delayed today, I figured that instead of going out to Shea and see them hopefully beat the Cards, I would stay home and do some updating of an application I have been writting. First, my environment. 1) 1040STf 1Mbyte. 2) 50 Mbyte Tandon hard-disk via BMS-1000 controller. 3) GEMBOOT ver 1.6 Well, after working for about two hours, without a reboot, I decided to compile my program. The compiler ran fine, but when it got to the linker my machine just sat there, flashing the red light on the hard-drive. After failing with bombs, a reboot indicated that there were no files in the C: partition of my disk. Boy, am I a sad lad. I had a backup made recently enough that I did not loose too much work, but in the last week, I made major changes to a resource file. This will take many hours to repair. My disk had only 32 directories in it, as reported by GEMBOOT, and the floppy had only one directory. The other important factor is that I use MT-Cshell ver. 1.10. I usually exit MT-Cshell to get back to GEM to use the Megamax RSP. This is because I don't want to corrupt the RCS file, because I have previously experienced problems running MMRCS under MT-Cshell. I have a feeling that this may have cause my to run out of system allocated space more quickly than normal. I am now going to try and download GEMBOOT ver 1.1 in an effort to prevent this almost total catastophy from happening again. Also, I plan to reboot a hell of alot more often. Any comments?
