I've got a problem with Copy ][+ v9.0 (and v8.4). When I go to Catalog a disk (my hard disk) it won't give me a tree display. Anybody know what's going on here? I'm using ProDOS 8 v1.9 (I've changed to v1.8) hoping that would solve the problem but it didn't. _________________________________________________________________________ | Move over Rover & |Email Addresses: Kent Squires "goo goo g'joob" | | let Jimi take over!| Internet: kjs39186@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu | | -------------------| ProLine: kents@pro-apa | | I wouldn't do it |_______ America OnLine: kents12 | | for all the farms in Cuba! | FidoNet: 233/15 Kent Squires | |____________________________|____________________________________________|

In-Reply-To: message from kjs39186@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu Copy //+ Version 9.0... Trash it now! If you have an older one, of course. It has been known to trash HD's on GS's and it doesn't do a whole lot for you anywany. Read A+/InCider's review of it for details.

Problem with tree displays?
Well, what happens, is Copy II+, being the ignorant and retarded program
that it is, decides that if ANY directory in your file system has a read
error (or any other kind of error for that matter (it seems)), that it
will just completely give up the idea of a tree display and give you the
main directory. Nobody uses subdirectories anyway, right?
(Can anyone tell that C2+ isn't my favorite program?) :-)
It's slow, too.

Well, okay... it DOES have a sector editor.... of course,
THAT won't even follow files anymore. :(

You're not the only one who feels this way about C2+. About two years ago, I finally got fed up with the program's utter lack of power and said, "Somebody really should write a better program." Unfortunately, "someone" ended up having to be me. I wrote "Heatseeker", a P8 disk utility program the destroys Copy //+ in almost every aspect, except for displays and whatnot. But when it comes to speed, I win hands-down: where Copy //+ will take 15-20 minutes to perform a certain task (delete a hundred files, copy files within a disk, etc.) my program does it all in less than ten seconds. "Really?" you say. "So why haven't we seen this commercially?" The answer is simple: I wrote it in assembly, which means that every time I want to add something (and no program's ever *really* complete, is it?), I have to spend forever doing it, and it's *frustrating*. I'd be willing to toss a copy around for people to play with, but like all greedy programmers, I wrote it with my hardware in mind, so I don't want the liability of trashing someone's hard drive hanging over my head. (Which brings up another point - when I said "15 to 20 minutes", I was referring to floppy drives, of course. I've never seen C2+ on a hard drive). Alas, the trials of laziness.. if anyone's interested in the program, or wants to give me a big, fat contract to finish it B^) , drop me some mail..

I won't let you do some things with GSOS special files (like with resource forks) but that's because it's a ProDOS 8 program. As for all of the general run-of-the-mill files, it works fine.

I would be interested in seeing your Heatseaker program - sounds
interesting.
My hardware: IIgs with CV Technologies GS Memory Board w/ 4 Megs (ooops,
ROM 01 GS); 2 AppleDisk 3.5 drives; 1 //c Unidisk 5.25" drive; a hard drive
will return to the system sometime - my Sider D4 died a noisy death and I'm
working on saving for a Quantum 105 and a RAMFast SCSI interface card drive
- it'll be some time till that's realized.
Do you notice any problem areas there?
I think you'd have to BinSCII a ShrinkIt archive of the program to get it
to me in mail. However, if it's huge (which I suspect it isn't) it might
not be appropriate to e-mail it - in which case we can discuss some
alternatives.
Thanks in advance ...
