Anybody,
OK, I've got the 800k tar file from bugs.nosc.mil. I was going to
try to update my 1.2 to 1.3 over the break. Now here's the problem: I
don't mind spending 15-20 hours updating the sources, etc. But I do
mind spending 5-10 hours downloading 1.7 MB of diff, sources, etc.
So I thought that I could download all 1.7 MB at once then DOSREAD
it and un-tar it there. But I only have a 360k floppy.
So back to bugs.nosc.mil and I grabbed a file that should allow me
to dosread straight from my harddrive (20 MB MFM, that's about all I
know.) So I compiled the sucker, and it wouldn't work. I read the
header to the source code and it said that the old wini driver rounded
partitions up to even boundaries, and I needed to remove the code that
did the rounding. I looked and couldn't find it.
Help!!! Does anybody have insight to ths problem. (I'm almost at
the point of waiting for the 1.3 distribution from PH. Another $79.95
:-(!!)
What about the 1.3 upgrade from PH, will it be in the same format?
Any pointers, hints, suggestions, prayers are welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Bob
