[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] ANARKEY vs. History

mju@m-net.UUCP (Marc Unangst) (12/06/88)

One wonders why people even bother to criticize programs before they've
read the docs that COME WITH THE F***ING PROGRAM!!!!

(Putting on my asbestos suit...)

]1. It seems to force the cursor to the blinking underline, depsite any
]resetting I may do with a cursor-setting program.

RTFM.  On lines 251-252 of ANARKEY.DOC, it says
        Cursor shape changes can be repressed by including the -C option on
        the installation command line (see "Installation Options").

]2. File name completion is a little flakey.  Try cycling through
]ANARKEY.SUM, ANARKEY.DOC and then to ANARKEY.COM.  You can't get to the
]last name for some reason.

Again, RTFM.  On lines 1493-1497 of ANARKEY.DOC, it says
        During name completion, ANARKEY automatically ignores all files with
        the following extensions:
 
                .$$$    .BAK    .BIN    .COM    .EXE    .HEX
                .LIB    .OBJ    .OVR    .SYS    .TMP

]
]3. Using Mirror II (comm program), putting Mirror in the backgroud,
]doing something with ANARKEY, and going back to the comm screen: system
]doesn't accept any keystroke and must be cold started.  This is prob. an
]interaction between Mirror's background and ANARKEY.  Nonetheless, it is
]bad and HISTORY doesn't show the problem.

I dunno why this happens.  Check interrupt vector conflicts.
