I tried uudecoding this file and got error line 38 too long or too short. I
downloaded this message twice and compared the two copies. They are identical.
Please re-post. It looks like an interesting product. Thanks. -uf.mcohen@amsaa-cleo.brl.mil (Marty Cohen) (03/13/91)
I got phantom downloaded and apparently working, but when I ran the
demo playback it used a dos subshell and worked fine until the end.
At that point it started writing nulls to my hard disk. I had to
reboot to stop it. When I ran chkdsk to get rid of the six-megabyte
unclosed file of nulls, it gave the "possible non-dos disk" message.
Everything else seems to be OK, but I don't know how to fix the FAT
media status byte, so I keep getting the same message whenever I run
chkdsk. Can someone tell me where to look for the FAT with debug?
I have MKS Tools running in user-login mode (I start init.exe from
config.sys). My machine is an original IBM/XT with a new 20MB disk.
I am running Compaq DOS 3.31. Intel 8088; BIOS 11/8/82.
