<< Is there still a line eater? >> Ooops. Sorry folks. Here's the latest info on my do-it-all DA. Since Jim Turner is not running the binaries group until he gets a new job (somebody hire him please!) the DA is waiting. There is a version up on GEnie at this moment if you really want it. I would reccommend waiting till next week though, for I should have the next version out which has a bug fix and will let you run in high rez. If there is any response, I will post it here then instead of waiting for Jim.

The first few days I had it, it worked fine, and would prompt me for the date and time at cold boot. Now, although it prompts, usually the month and year buttons are entirely deselected, the day prompt usually has several buttons selected (usually one for the Tens and two (like, both the 3 and the 2) selected for the Ones). The time is right, though. Where does it save the time from session to session? In Desktop.Inf? (I haven't looked at this yet...)

If you look at the file using the TEXT option of the VIEW menu you will see the time/date stamp for the file. My guess is that somehow the stamp was changed for your file and Schizo is reading something strange from it. You might try to update the file's stamp and then hard-cold boot (turn your machine off) and let it run again. If this does not fix it, let me know. If there is a bug I want to fix it in the next release. Anybody else have problems like this? (I haven't but I have a clock chip so I never use that function of Schizo). Also, for the next release, are people happy with the screen color combinations? Currently they are: Text Back Fore ---- ---- ---- Black White Blue White Black Green Amber Black Red This can be changed if people want others. I figured that the first is a kind of standard, and the others save the screen. The mono capability in the new version *should* work, but I don't have a mono monitor, so I can't test it. The new version will be posted here some time this weekend (I hope). After that I will be in the midst of finals, and after that I will lose my account. So, I hope I will get an account in Minnesota (where I will be next year). Any new updates to the net will be dependant on that. In any case I will be gone from the net from June 14 till early October at least (unless somebody in San Diego wants to let me use an account over the summer :-)). If you have questions or problems, look for me on GEnie or write me before June 14. Happy hacking!

Yep - noticed that it was updating the timestamp, and figured that's how it was working. It's working again, BTW, for no apparent reason. ST-VCO also prompts for the time/date if it is not yet set (checks for year < 1987), and it rarely (now) picks up errors. Sometimes, though, GULAM comes up with a bogus date - and using its internal DATE command to set it doesn't appear to set the clock that the GEMDOS function uses. Maybe I'm wrong on this, or maybe something is wrong with my system. > Also, for the next release, are people happy with the screen >color combinations? Currently they are: > Text Back Fore > ---- ---- ---- > Black White Blue > White Black Green > Amber Black Red I normally use Text: Black, Back: White, Foreground: Light Blue. The default is a little dark for my tastes. -- Bruce Holloway - Relapsed Newsaholic {ihnp4,seismo,sun}!amdahl!drivax!holloway "Everything should be made as complex as possible - esp. if you're paid hourly."

Maybe I'm wrong on this, or >maybe something is wrong with my system. I just double checked with the source, GULAM sets both the IKBD and GEMDOS clocks for the date command. The format for specifying the date should be exactly the string mm-dd-yy-hh:mm[:ss] where by [:ss] i mean that specifying seconds is optional. Notice the '-' between the date and time. hh sould be in the 24 hour format. The code does not check for a valid string --> GIGO. -- usenet: {decvax,cbatt,cbosgd,sun}!cwruecmp!bammi jwahar r. bammi csnet: bammi@cwru.edu <---------Please note change of address arpa: bammi@cwru.edu <---------Please note change of address compuServe: 71515,155
