RE: Re: Full screen application Specs

More updates
 
There is NEW and much improved ALPHA version on the server. (as of today
Saturday  July 31,  11:14 AM- my time or 03:14 AM EST)
Some very significant changes to the screen layouts - Let me know what you
think...
 
C & F and M & F - now work - They are subsets of the logic for CC CC F & MM
MM F
New line command   "/"  which does what you would expect - brings the line
to the top of the screen
 
Small changes to the "I" and "D" commands.
 
They will default to ONE LINE as before, - but if you need more then one
line (up to 99 ie. I99 or D99) - The number must be followed by a BLANK in
the line command - otherwise ignored.
 
When you see the new screens you will understand why
 
As usual - bang it around and let me know if you get stuck anywhere
Just shoot of an E-mail --- thats important.
The programming is a bitch - but the logic is worse --- Making up specs as
we go along and that creates BUGS in wht we have alreeady done.
 
 
Tools for debugging are extremely limited on VM6 ---- I would even settle
for IBM DEBUG
 
By the way try to logout completely from the app. Back to the REAL VM/370
screen.
That may be part of the problem that is causing hung users.
I will add an inactivity timer - to kick them out - but that may take some
time

This is an application for us - If you want to erase your "A" disk
what can I say ---

I understand what you say for security purposes. Actually that part of the
project is external to the program.

I SVC all the commands to one EXEC and it does the checking and then passes
on to the system.

So you can add or delete commands or set limitations very easily in the one
EXEC. you can even allow HCP

The messages that we get back all come from that EXEC...

I am not worried about security right now. Have fun - destroy the machine -
if thats your thing - I have a backup :-)

Project is really moving along fine - and I am getting to the place where I
will allow writes.

And I am starting to think about making the interface more fiendly
