To reduce transatlantic email I sent the newest versions of GEMBOOT and HDB to the ATARINET server (UACE0@UHUPVM1.BITNET) where they can be called off. HDB V2.3 has same minor improvements: - deselect floppy (the ROM startup code leaves the floppy drives selected till first access) - optional switch to floppy boot if a special key combination is pressed during boot New features of GEMBOOT V1.10 (compared to V1.08) are: - incremental add of folder cache blocks during directory scan - indicates free directory cache space left after login - adjustable size of DESKTOP environment buffer - definition of DESKTOP environment variables within GEMBOOT.INF - optional use of batch shell other than COMMAND.TOS - new program GEMFRL.TOS to locate and print the GEMDOS internal free lists Konrad A.

Not by me they can't ;-) Could some kind soul with bitnet access grab these things, uuencode them, and dump them onto the Usenet please? I predict this will result in a net _reduction_ of traffic. ...!ihnp4!alberta!auvax!rwa Ross Alexander @ Athabasca University

I second the motion! Would some kind person please, Please, PLEASE post these programs to the net? Thanks, R. Brad Kummer {ihnp4,cbosgd,akgua}!akguc!rbk AT&T Bell Laboratories Atlanta GA

With our ATARI 1040ST HDB V2.3 does *not* deselect the floppy drive
at boot time (The red light will be on until you insert a floppy)
but it does something to the printer port so that
- an EPSON FX-80 will forget the first character of the first file
you try to print after booting
- a NEC P6 won't print at all.
Another ATARI around here (520ST+ I think) does everything as documented
for HDB V2.3 (e.g. deselects the floppy drive) and the printer port is ok
after booting.
Any suggestions ?
