RE: Re: GCIC Fullscreen applications - Update

 
Hi All

I am pretty close to having the a release ready.

Biggest change is that IND$FILE will work.

I already have the UPLOAD side working and am just starting the Download
now.

I followed all the dicussion about the various methods of uploading Data -
Tape- various options - FTP etc. etc.

Certainly good points made by everyone --- 

IND$FILE is slow by comparison but it is also a lot more convenient.
Not to argue the points of which to use when. 

All have their special functionality and uses.

IND$FILE has been around for years and it certainly  is easy to use. And is
convenient if there is no FTP
 
(it was a nice project to add it to the Full screen. Also gave me a chance
to brush up on "C")
Had to do a lot of tracing and some reverse engineering so it was fun.

New release is coming up soon and if there are any requests or bugs let me
know.

Ivan pointed out that 

1) remove remove the profile EXEC from the Installation tape.. (Sorry that
was a bug)
2) Nice to get it to work in EC mode as well as BC Mode.
   Not sure that I can do that without a lot of effort so the wuestion is
how critical is it.
   The format of the PSW changes as well as the I.O> interrupt handling.
   Not sure if I can start off In and ECMODE machine and then just switch to
to a BC mode PSW -- Will that work --- 
   Then I would have to swich an save some control registers as well)
   
   That would the easy solution and then switching back on EXIT 0- If its
doable?

   Other solution and a lot more complicated is to change quite a bit of
code so that it will work in IN ECCMODE - 
   Just in one or two modules but very heavy stuff

   and then make the decision at startup whether to load EC mode modules or
BC mode modules.

   Is it worth the effort ???? To anybody.

Other than that no bugs have been reported 
Of course that might mean that nobody is using it  -?

But I did see about 20 downloads from the server.

Let me know if there are an requests other than IND$FILE compatibility

I have some notes about the specs for IND$FILE that I made while I was
analysing it.
If anybody is intereted - I can collaberate.
